Bathroom near us was closed due to some plumbing issues. No notice as to where to go (turns out the nearest bathroom was quite a hike). Should have at least had a port-a-potty.

This is really an exceptional campground. The non-electrical camping areas have a decent amount of privacy landscaping between sites. The showers are exceptional

campground is expensive, especially whe the park fees are added on top.suggest to half the campground fees for the park visitors.

Our site was apparently right beside a raccoon den. The raccoons are absolutely relentless so be prepared. The site was level and appropriate for tent camping with good cover between sites.
Good

I loved my quiet site, which was a 5-minute walk to the store and the showers. Having a hot shower was also amazing! I'm so used to more rugged sites, that this one felt so luxurious. The only downsides were neighbors I saw gathering wood despite the numerous signs posted throughout the campground prohibiting wood gathering and neighbors whose lights were too bright at night, which detracted from the Dark Sky Park experience. I was there in March, and there were almost no bugs to worry about.

Love this campground! Beautiful starry nights, great hiking, Condor sightings. Remember, it's cold in the winter, here. We saw lots of tent campers moving to their cars and sleeping in them overnight, often with the engine running. If you have layers of sleeping bags with decent fill, you can camp here when it's 30F without resorting to your car. We needed 3 quilt layers in our trailer without running the heat. We prefer the sites with no hookups, they are just prettier. Some campers down the road heard a cougar take down a deer, down by the creek. It was at night, so they only heard all the details. ;-D Also saw tarantulas and a harrier and hawks. Really nice rangers, lots of pleasant campers. The hiking is spectacular, with lots of fun caving along the trails and spectacular views.

Site 39 backed to a treeline and creek. It felt super private. Clean bathrooms with soap. Showers by the pool area (we had no idea there was a pool!). The showers were practical. Great back-in site kept the car close without it being a nuisance.

The trails were a nice surprise ! Moses trail to the reservoir and around that side was beautiful!! Also, the condor trail to the lookout had a ton of wildflowers, and also a lot of bugs ! Same with the campground , lots of bugs - overall a good experience 😊

We really enjoyed the tails and hikes. The park itself was very clean and well maintained. We did not know that there where restrictions on the use of a generator so our 25ft trailer with no hook ups at 95 degrees was a little warm. Although, we highly recommend those who have a trailers to book a hookup site and enjoy all the park has to offer.

We loved our campsite and the campgrounds overall. Good campstore and visitor center. Loved the hikes to the caves.Wishlist: Showers that were closer to B 39; an outdoor utility sink for dishes; more raccoon signage and warnings--our camp neighbors hid in their van and left their food on the table--the raccoons were bold and dangerous!
@lauram1165586 · Camped on Dec 24, 2022 at Campsite #39
It is a lovely park! with some beautiful and spacious sites. Clean and recently remodeled bathrooms!The raccoons were very bold. They got into my neighbor's tent! (put your zippers high up) they were climbing up on tables while people were eating to grab food. Leave nothing unattended even for a couple of mins, or your trip might be ruined. Internet can be bought for $3 an hour, $7 for 24 hours, or $10 for the week. It worked well.

Hidden gem - wonderful park and camp. Love the free hot showers complete with shampoo, body wash and conditioner! Such a luxury!

RVers should be aware the RV dump hours are limited to the store hours, which currently are 9:30 am - 5pm. It is locked with a key that must be obtained from the store to access even during those hours. Also, those with solar panels who chose a dry campsite in the winter months should consider sites 16, 38, 39, 41- 44 due to the angle of the sun in winter. Also, sites 13, 14, 15 may get good sun as well.

Mellow trip. Flush toilets. Campgrounds not crowded.
@BillE4427976 · Camped on Jun 28, 2022 at Campsite #39
Our site was a bit difficult to back into (narrow road) but otherwise nice. Restrooms in the loops are offline for renovations, showers at the HQ/pool were minimal but functional. We didnt use the dump station, it required too many hoops to jump through.
@RaulN64283EF43 · Camped on Jun 12, 2022 at Campsite #39
Great campsite with great views, a pool, free showers, and clean restrooms. The place is nice and close to most attractions at the park. The site has a good store with lots to choose from. The pool is a nice touch after a morning hike, although I suspect not many follow the rule of rinsing off before going in. The showers are nice and the water gets plenty warm if needed. Once they finish fixing the restrooms in all loops then it will be a very great site. There is no cell reception (Verizon) so be prepared to be off the grid unless you buy wifi at the general store. I would definitely come back here!
@PeterW2595731 · Camped on Feb 25, 2022 at Campsite #39
Clean campsites and other facilities; friendly Park staff and concessionaires; amazing hiking with friendly folks.

Awesome stay! Campsites are spread apart nicely and the store is very convenient.

Great, well-kept campgrounds. There were minor inconveniences due to COVID-19 restrictions (main road closed after campground), but we still managed to have a great time!
@JosephD5297544 · Camped on Feb 5, 2020 at Campsite #39
Spent four days/three nights off the grid in Pinnacles National Park. We hiked through Bench, High Peaks, Condor Gulch, Bear Gulch Trails through chaparral, oak woodlands, and canyon bottoms. Visited talus caves, saw rock spires and lots of wildlife including a few California condor sightings. Trails were well marked and in pretty good shape. More to see, but that'll have to be another time.
@PatrickZ196767 · Camped on Aug 8, 2019 at Campsite #39
Nice campground, decent bathrooms, overall a good stay. Great small park in a beautiful area. Raccoons are crazy brave so don't leave your doors/windows open and don't walk away from your meal.
