Our campsite (37) is located on the far side from the entrance, but we did not mind. In fact, it is very well shaded and provides ample of space for us (group of 2). We used a midsize SUV and can comfortably fit into the space, but a truck with camper shell be a little tall for the particular campsite.

Perfect spot

PNP itself was great as usual and the store staff were unusually helpful this visit. However, the Recreation.gov reservation system for overnight camping was confusing: I meant to reserve three nights and three squares showed up when I made the reservation but it turns out the site highlights you CHECKOUT date as well so I only had two nights. I have run into other friend who also made this mistake - be careful when making your reservations!

Clean, efficient, and friendly staff. Sites were tidy and not fight on top of each other in general. Clean bathrooms with free showers.

We enjoyed our stay in the campground, 2 people with a tent. Information we found were helpful. Just as a suggestion, if you plan to go to visit Bear Gulch area in crowded period consider to go early enough in the morning or you'll encounter problems with parking!

Great site, close to so many trails so easy to get a space and get to sites before they got busy. This site was great! So much shade and privacy, could look down in the creek to see racoons, deer, turkeys. Spotted condors at sunset. A lot of bugs, but thats to be expected, bring bug spray. Some cell service.

We have camped ay Pinnacles before and love the high peaks and the trail along the creek, especially in the Spring when the wildflowers are in bloom.

Unbelievable amounts of noise until close to midnight. It’s not a campground, it’s a night club. And there was no ranger patrolling that night at all. I didn’t stay the second night of my reservation because I didn’t want to put up with a second night of that. I would at least partial reimbursement for the second night.

Campsite 37 is one of the best campsites with a lot of shade. The hike in the national park was great!

I love Pinnacles. It's not like some National Parks that hit you over the head with epic beauty right from the parking lot. Pinnacles is more subtle, makes you work for it. First time? Get there early, try to get a spot in the Bear Gulch lot. Plan to hike the High Peaks loop. Bear Gulch Caves are really fun and totally worthwhile, too. But to have the "ah-ha" moment at Pinnacles, I think you've gotta do High Peaks.

Clean and pleasant campsites. They are a little close together but the neighbors are always nice. The trails offer splendid views and bountiful spring wildflowers. The Blue Oak trail was a special treat. As a senior lady, I’ve learned to go slow, stop when I please, and enjoy all of it.

Always great runs and hikes.

Lovely campsite, there was a lot of shade and you can hear the creek from this particular spot. Its clean and very well taken care of. We got raccoon visitors the night we stayed. Which means I got a raccoon sticker from the general store to remember the occasion. This campsite makes enjoying the national park that much easier. Definitely coming back here!

Eastside campground is excellent. Great trails for hiking.
@SamuelF868 · Camped on Mar 9, 2021 at Campsite #37
The park is wonderful and the caves, albeit closed, were so cool!!! The campground sites are super hit or miss with some being exposed and others tucked into the woods and facilities are really nice. That said, the raccoons are BRUTAL! They will come to your site and are desensitized to humans so they aren't afraid to get close, and I mean close. They refused to leave and bothered us past the point of comfort where we were constantly checking around our site for beady little eyes reflecting from the bushes. We ended up leaving after one jumped into our open car door. They are such an issue that I unfortunately wouldn't recommend a stay here.

Site 37 was great for us. Easy parking but tent area tucked away from the road. Coin-operated showers were hit/miss. The 1 women's shower had a hole in the side of the showerhead which sprayed water over the door on my clothes. The shower was nice and hot. The men's shower was too cool for comfort...but maybe all the hot water was diverted to the women's side.
