The Balcony Cave and Bear Cave hikes were a couple of the best trails weve been on

We had a very nice 109 spot in the RV area on the end. However, the 30 amp power pedestal kept tripping even if we just plugged in a little phone. (We plugged in back home with our 110 V adapter and it was fine and has worked fine in previous months with 30 amp power in RV parks). The 20 amp power worked fine, but since we paid for the spot with the power that was a big drag, but we just ended up being upgraded and it was OK. The park itself was super cool. The bathrooms are quite a ways from the RV area, but the store is really well equipped with fair prices and the staff are very nice.

Loved it. Park was nearly empty, lots of great bird watching opportunities along with deer

Site 109 chosen for the electric & shade. Had morning shade & then of course evening shade. Site 104 & 105 had good afternoon shade. Electric makes all the difference in the summer. Had doe & 2 fawns in the foliage by our site so that was a treat. Easy to get RV leveled. Overall satisfied with the campground.

We visit Pinnacles every year, staying for two weeks. Although we didn't hike as much as I would have liked, it was an enjoyable stay. The variety of plants and animals in this park is amazing! Although we didn't see a California Condor on this trip, maybe next time. The Condor Gulch Trail always produces a few condors, but we never made it up the hill to hike that trail. We always enjoy hiking over to the historic Bacon House, which is an easy hike from the campground.

What a delightful trip! Pinnacles has some great hiking trails and a clean, quiet campground. Keep in mind that there are no generators allowed anywhere in the campground, so we chose an electric site. Free wi-fi available at the store and some nearby campsites.We recommend the Condor Gulch to High Peaks Trail loop (in that direction) and the Old Pinnacles trail out to the Balconies Cave loop and back. We liked the Balconies cave the best of the two. Well worth the trip!

More bathrooms are definitely needed along with showers for those camping

The park was very clean and well maintained. There were campfire programs on Friday and Saturday night that were very nice, one of them led into a star watch party, which was very fun and nicely done.

The showers/bathrooms at the campground could use improvement. They are dark, damp, and the water from the shower was odorous. However, we loved the variety of wildlife we saw!

Wonderful hikes, easy and challenging. We really loved visiting and will return for sure.

Pinnacles was fantastic! We stayed at the campground for three nights, giving us two full days of exploring. I highly recommend Bear Gulch trail it is beautiful. I saw 5 California Condors at the upper part of Condor Gulch. Such a thrill when one cocked low overhead!
Good

We appreciated the ease of reserving a site. Very quiet campground. Hiking trails were good and generally well marked. Wish the shuttle were running to get us to the trails though.

I explained to both the host and the person on the recreation phone line that we experienced Lois construction noise starting 7:30 am our first day of camping. We had to leave as we could no longer stand the beeping bulldozer noise. For my 2 nite stay I only got 1 nite of refund? How is it that I am refunded only 1 nite when the whole first morning after my first night was disrupted, my whole second night lost as well as the second morning? I had to do a lot of packing and unpacking for this

Beautiful environment, but the actual campground needs vast improvement. The main bathroom (the only showers) was closed due to septic system replacement. The pump station was closed prior to our departure, so we weren’t able to use it. The port-a-potties that were a sorry replacement for the bathroom were in atrocious condition.
If we had known about septic work we would have scheduled our trip for another time. I feel we should have been notified before our 6 hour drive to the park, so that we could have at least been prepared for closed showers, dirty port-a-potties and noisy, dusty heavy equipment near our campsite. (By the way, portable toilets can be fine if properly maintained).
All said however, the Pinnacles themselves are an amazing feature. We saw condors and dozens of species of blooming wildflowers too. But it’s a shame the campground facilities were so inadequate. I’m hoping the current work being done is a sign that the park service will be giving Pinnacles National Parks the deferred attention it deserves.

Wife underestimated the park from entrance. She was proven wrong when we trekked through caves and ginormous rocks in a green, rugged, and beautiful landscape. Can't wait to go again... not too crowded at this time.
@DanielZ8613865 · Camped on Dec 24, 2022 at Campsite #109
Nice quiet place to base camp your Pinnacles adventures. Has a store, ranger, and bathroom with hot showers. Even has a pool for summer days. Facilities are clean and well maintained. We truly enjoyed our 3 night stay.
@WoodyCEAE6A260 · Camped on Jun 12, 2022 at Campsite #109
First I will mention what needs to improve. The private company that runs the Campground keeps the dump tank locked and it can only be used when the camp store is open 9:30 - 5:00. I was not able to depart early because I had to wait for the camp store to open at 9:30 am. I've never been to any Campground where the dump tank was locked. The company operating the Campground needs to consider the interests of the users of the Campground (customers).Now the positive: park was beautiful and NOT crowded. All the NPS staff and volunteers were friendly and helpful. The campsites were well spaced and electricity functioned properly. Enjoyed everything about my visit to Pinnacles except having to wait for the camp store to open so I could dump my tanks before departing.

Great hiking destination. This was our 5th visit and I think we have finally done all the hikes. They are not a piece of cake for me (75 - in good shape) but when you take it easy and are in no hurry (plan accordingly) the hikes are rather awesome... (parental advise: bring lots of water food/snacks) :)
@RobertL7452920 · Camped on May 2, 2022 at Campsite #109
Beautifully maintained campground. The hiking is terrific, especially the Best Gulch trail that goes into a cave and then comes out at a mountain reservoir.
@CurtC8135803 · Camped on Apr 6, 2022 at Campsite #109
My wife and I really enjoyed the Bear Gulch Trail...especially the caves.

Friendly staff, everything clean and well maintained, great hikes all around, perfect location.
@MichaelB697476 · Camped on Mar 25, 2022 at Campsite #109
The dump station set up is dumb. Have to wait for store to open and get key. Think it is time to upgrade rv sites with water and pads.
@SusanC3925585 · Camped on Feb 25, 2022 at Campsite #109
Well-kept campground, spacious sites. The variety of birds was exceptional. Staff was friendly and helpful.
