The cabin was really nice, but very cold at night in late January (bring lots of layers!). raccoons were living under all of the cabins, and they were shockingly brave, stealing our marshmallows off the picnic table with us standing right next to it and trying to get in the car door overnight. Made us a bit scared with our dog with us - be really careful if you have kids or pets along! But the park was amazing and the cabin very clean and spacious.
Excellent

Literally the only reason I docked a star is because the closest bathroom to us was clogged on day 1 and was not fixed for the entirety of the long weekend. Otherwise gorgeous, well maintained campsite with excellent amenities! I'd happily return.

Both bathrooms were closed in our camp area. Requiring up to walk down to the next camp are to use theres.It would have been nice to know the bathrooms were out of order before we even booked the cabin sites. I definitely would have found another camp area.

It was really nice to camp without setting up a tent. This campground had a ton of active raccoons, so it was nice to have that separation.

Desperate need for Porto-potties! On our second night in the C loop the C loop bathroom was flooded with overflow from all 6 toilets. The only other options were a long walk away much further than I experienced at all other natl park campgrounds Ive stayed at for 30+ years

We stayed in tent cabin #26 for 2 nights in March. We absolutely loved everything about Pinnacles!! The tent cabin was very clean and comfortable for our family of 4. The site was a nice size and well maintained. There was no water spigot at the site, but the restroom had a spigot and was close by. The restrooms were also very clean and had running water and soap. There were no lights in the restroom so we had to bring a headlamp, but that helped the park stay very dark and the night skies were astounding!! The campground had a variety of wildlife that we enjoyed watching, and protecting our food from! The raccoons were pretty persistent but they didnt beat us. We hiked the Bear Gulch Lower Caves and Upper Caves on our first day. We brought good headlamps and it was a fun and exciting scramble under fallen boulders, through streams, and past waterfalls. The next day, we hiked up to the Condor Gulch viewing area early in the morning. We saw a couple of condors up above, so we continued up the High Peaks Trail and it was an adrenaline rush!! The Steep and Narrow section was scary but thrilling. We felt so accomplished when we made it to the top! The best part was the mesmerizing view of the entire park with several condors soaring close overhead. Our family fell in love with Pinnacles NP and cant wait to visit again!!

We loved our tent cabin at Pinnacles, felt lucky to have the added coverage during a huge rainstorm. Only complaint is the parking space completely flooded during the rain at our site. Otherwise we had a fabulous experience. We especially loved the conscience of campsite showers during our stay!

Tent cabins are spacious and clean. We had #26 which was a nice location - backed up to large, old oaks and with privacy from other sites. Staff at the campstore are very friendly and helpful. Limited provisions in the store though.

The campsite was excellent - the tent cabin was spacious, clean, and dry during a rainstorm. We saw so much wildlife around the campgrounds! The bathrooms were clean and well-maintained. We will definitely be back!

Major Issues
@KellyM9992231 · Camped on Dec 27, 2023 at Campsite #26
The campground is clean and well layed out. It is nice to have the option of tent cabins. The main hiking area trail head is 2 miles up the road, and there is not much parking so arrive early! Our tent was solar , and lost power around 6 pm, so bring your own flashlights and lanterns. It was quite cold in the cabin, not heat so bring lots of bedding. The bathrooms are nice, but a shelf would be handy to put a towel or cup on. Overall a great experience and we'd love to return.

It was a great campsite. The cabin was very nice. It even had lights. I highly recommend bringing warm blanks. I have gone camping in the winter before. I didn't take into account that a cabin isn't insulated like a tent. Be sure to bring an extra warm sleeping bag in the winter, and blankets as well. I'd love to come back in the fall or spring.Great hiking. Clean bathrooms. Highly recommend.

We loved our Tent Cabin! The beds were comfortable, we sat on the porch and had our chips and salsa before dinner. The other campers were considerate. The bathrooms were clean. It was a great stay. The only negative was that we needed one more day! I guess we will back soon.

Pinnacles national park is an excellent place to view Condors and many other species of birds. Or just great hiking trails for all skill levels. Huge variety of terrain. Camp ground was clean and well taken care of. The staff was very helpful and informative. Much other wildlife as well. Nov is a great time to go as temps are much cooler and not as many people.

Campsites were large and the facilities were clean.

Reserved tent cabin 26 in loop b. The cabin was a real treat - we usually backpack. We made it out and hiked every day we were there, got to check out both caves (bear gulch and balconies)! There were many other trails we wanted to get to but saw everything we could with the time we had. LOVED the hot showers at the end of each day too! The general store has many options if you forget items, and every attendant I engaged with was awesome (friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful). The only advisory is to beware of the gang of raccoons running from site to site after sunset trying to snatch any food while you're making or eating dinner. I love raccoons, so they didn't really bother me.

Pinnacles National Park is a treasure! We had a wonderful experience camping, talking with other campers, hiking, and enjoying the peach and beauty of this special place. It was delightful to see the park is well taken care of, very clean, and has hot showers - a most welcome convenience and luxury after a log day of hiking.
@MarkE1725298 · Camped on Jun 8, 2022 at Campsite #26
great tent sites that were very clean - the solar fan wasn't working but thankfully it was cool at night and didn't matter. lots of great wildlife in the campsite but watch out for the raccoons as soon as the sun goes down because they're ready to steal anything and anything that might be food
@DavidD5028320 · Camped on May 11, 2022 at Campsite #26
Really enjoyed the campground and wildlife
@PaulJ4100707 · Camped on Mar 30, 2022 at Campsite #26
The tent cabin mattresses were very unsatisfactory. They were impossible to warm up. You should notify users to bring some kind of insulation to put on the bed before making up the bedding.
@DiannaB7653837 · Camped on Mar 4, 2022 at Campsite #26
Absolutely amazing experience as always!!! This campground is fantastic and the camp host John was SO helpful when we forgot our code to get into the cabin! Bathrooms are so clean and campground is quiet!! Amazing camping and hiking, we love it here!
@DeborahH112 · Camped on Jan 19, 2022 at Campsite #26
Stayed in tent cabin 26. Very clean and mattress comfortable. Freezing at night in January so bring lots of blankets! Site did not get sun or warm up until after 10 am. Sites across the road from us got sun earlier. Be sure to get to the campground before 4:30 if you want to have wood for a fire. It must be ordered from the camp store by that time for delivery to your site after 5pm. Enjoyed our trip despite the cold nights. Nice, mostly easy hiking trails to the caves with easy parking midweek in January.

Of note, there was ONE operational women's shower for the entire campground. Quite hours and campfire ban were not enforced. Other than that, it was great being so close to some awesome hiking. The dinner-hour turkey vultures (50+!!) circling overhead was an amazing show.
