Great trails that are well maintained with different levels of abilities. Holiday weekend was pretty busy but bus service within the park was very helpful. Only two showers at the campground were open but water was warm and they even had pumpers with shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Winter weather couldnt have been more perfect. Cold nights with beautiful stars above and warmer afternoons. Rangers were very polite and helpful.

The park had nice, well tended hiking trails. Directional signs were an issue at times.The campgrounds restrooms are in serious need of upgrades. 2 of 3 toilets in the portable shower/toilet trailer were out of order. There are 3 portable toilets. Showers were nice but one was out of order. Electricity was a problem for me and several other campers that I spoke to. It would work sporadically but always at non peak hours. The campground was full and I never got power in the mornings or at dinner times. The staff was friendly and tried to help but to no avail. A couple of them admitted the electrical needed an upgrade.

We were only here for one day but the campsite was fine, dump convenient, did one hike and it was very enjoyable. Very few people. Trailheads are small and there is no RV parking so we had to park one mile away and walk to the trail head. We saw turkey and deer, sadly no condor.

The hiking is amazing! But the restrooms were disgusting. They looked like they were only cleaned weekly and it was spring break when we were there. Lots of people in the park, using the facilities. Outhouses were practically overflowing.
Excellent

Stopped by for one night to check out the area. Dry and dusty! Lucky the weather was ok and not hot as there no POWER for us. Their system lacks a neutral/ground bond so our surge protector prevented service to our rig. This could be a major safety hazard and no one seems to care. Also, Hwy25 to the south is a disaster making access to the campground a very unhappy experience. Good luck

Beautiful campgrounds. Very clean bathrooms and grounds. Rangers accessible and pleasant. We hiked to the reservoir via the tunnels and had a great time.

This park is very crowded this time of the year. Parking at the trailheads is very limited, requiring the rangers to close the road when the parking lots fill. There was no shuttle bus available in early April, so if you arrived late you could only park at the visitor center.

We enjoyed our stay at Pinnacles NP. Since the weather was cool and rainy we didn't have any luck seeing condors, even when we hiked to the High Peaks. However, in the campground there was a flock of turkeys that were quite entertaining! Visiting Pinnacles in cooler weather when everything is green and wet was a different, but pleasant experience for us. The Pinnacles website says there is no cell service in the park. However, in the campground we had good AT&T service.

Campground was beautiful.

Ive been at the campground, and its one of the best beginner friendly campsites around the Bay Area. However, this review isnt about the campground, but the reservation process and the amazingly hard phone support system.I had booked the site the day of, and there were no clear warnings about the park closures. I happened to check the Instagram handle and found out about the fires and the closure. I then tried 7-8 times to call and get the reservations canceled, but the system seems to be designed to be uniquely unhelpful to the user. If youre allowed to make last min reservations, why are you allowed to cancel. Especially in situations like park closures or wildfires?I love the park, and have always had great interactions with the rangers. But this campground reservation process was dismal at best!

The site was quiet and clean. The amenities worked well and the store is a short walk away if you forgot any supplies or food. The popular trailheads are a ways away so I recommend driving a car or riding a bike to save time.

Lots of wildlife throughout campground area. Watched condors cruising a ridge top. They were far away but we confirmed with binoculars. We only did a shorter hike up to the reservoir but it was fantastic! Had a little bit of everything: caves, overhangs, vista points, wildflowers, dragon flies, waterfall!!! The swimming pool was an unexpected surprise although we did not use it. Next time!!!
because we left our dog in our camper with fan on. only a 3 mi hike as we had our dog with us

Fantastic place with a great view

Our site, 82 D, was listed as a pull thru for my trailer. It was not a pull/drive thru. Fortunately, I was able to back it in, but is was also not 90 feet long as described in the reservation.

The park facilities were nice. Good job

Restrooms and showers were improved since our last visit. Thank you. Now please build another shower area to accommodate campers.

Such a wonderful campground and a true treasure to see the Pinnacles!

Large and well-kept sites. Very friendly staff. Quiet and peaceful, and an easy bike ride into the main park.
@JeffB8180041 · Camped on Jul 28, 2022 at Campsite #82
Site 82 is not a long pull through site that is 90' long as indicated on the map, it is a regular back-in site so it made parking a trailer and an RV challenging but we made it work. There is NO CELL RECEPTION but they do offer WIFI that works pretty good and for only $10 a week it was very reasonable. The rock formations are absolutely stunning, but I would recommend going in the spring when everything is green and lush.
@AnaG1344389 · Camped on Jun 30, 2022 at Campsite #82
The campground was very clean and well kept. The issue we had with our site- #82- was supposed to be pull through, but it was not. It looked like they blocked it off. Overall, it was a great site, close to water which was really convenient! Did not love that it is a locked dump station that is only open during campground store hours. Made leaving take longer than anticipated waiting for rigs before us to leave. The site had some nice shade also, which was a relief.
