Hiking through the talus caves is an otherworldly experience. The trails are impeccably maintained.The campground was well cared for.

Beautiful park the staff was nice and knowledgeable. The Bear Gulch trail was confusing because of intersecting trails. Could have better signage. Havent been to the campground in 7 years and it feels like the camp sites have gotten smaller! We still enjoy our experience; but felt like we were in our Neighbor's face! Showers were wonderful

After a morning of hiking, we looked forward to swimming in the pool. Day after day, the report was that it was still closed! We, along with our family were soooo disappointed! We should have gotten our money back. The afternoons were so hot with no relief.

The park rangers at the campsite were rude. There was nobody staying at the two sites next on us and yet we couldnt temporarily park a third car there. The pool was not open like originally stated. The showers were flooding. The raccoons were out of control. Terrible experience and well never be back.

The campsite and hike was wonderful. The weekend we went was super hot though. Other than that, our time at the Pinnacles National Park was quite nice.

Campsite was roomy. Conveniently located and electric hookup was good. Not particularly pretty. Dusty and dry. Pool was not open. Pretty much ok , nothing unexpectedly

It was unusually hot during our stay and with only 30 amp it was difficult to keep the trailer cool. My husband and daughter enjoyed a hike to the reservoir. We also hiked out to the homestead. Saw lots of turkey vultures but no condors. The staff were pleasant and helpful. The dump station is tilled the wrong way so getting a through dump was impossible.

Campsites 12, 13, & 14 are right next to each other. There is no separation between the sites. Beware the raccoons. They hide out in the bushes behind the campsite, and they are pretty fearless. They will scavenge the site and enter any open door. Car or tent. They come at you in groups of two or three. While you deal with one, the other two take advantage of the situation.
