We spent three nights camping at the Pinnacles, hiking during the days and strolling and chilling the campground at night. The Camp Store and Gift Shop are both excellent, the campsites are clean and spacious, and the trails, of course, are outstanding; we hiked the Bacon-Butterfield Ranch Trail, The Condor Gulch/High Peaks Trail loop, and the Old Pinnacles Trail to The Balconies. The evening show by the bunnies and quail never disappoints.The only downsides to our trip was the closure of the pool - it would have been so refreshing after returning from the High Peak/Condor Gulch loop in 85 degree heat, and the noise in the campground Friday night. The other campers kept up quite a din until around midnight - this was the worst I have encountered in any campground in sixty years of camping. I feared a repeat Saturday night, but a drop in temperature and a wind storm that kicked up around 8:00 seemed to send everybody to their tents.

The site was very nice and clean as well as the bathrooms; definitely wonderful. The only downfall was multiple neighboring sites not adhering to the campground noise rules, which was a shame. The park is quite nice, relatively small. You can hike to nearly all of the highlights within one day making it super accessible.

Good view for the sky watching, a nice campsite, and Raccoons are very very very active, put food in your car or raccoon locker.

The campground at the Pinnacles is the perfect place to stay when you are doing a big hike there and you don't feel like driving home. The spaces are very nice and spacious, clean and the bathrooms too.

The Park seemed to be overwhelmed with visitors and was having difficulty dealing with the volume. Checkin was slow and parking very impacted. On the positive side, the campground was very well maintained and bathrooms in good order.

We love the Pinnacles! So much wildlife. So quiet. Such great hikes. And the staff at the store is great.

Campground was very well maintained. Bathrooms could use some updating.
@DavidA806 · Camped on Apr 7, 2021 at Campsite #43
Campsites are uneven. Some appear to be really nice. We got one with no shade, no privacy, and only dead wood next to us. But the park is wonderful and made it worthwhile.

We appreciated the clean bathrooms, showers and well maintained campground at Pinnacles. If you buy bulk firewood at the store, staff will deliver it to your site. The camp store is basic but adequate for necessary supplies like ice. Wifi is available to purchase using your own phone just outside the store (but it's not high data and only works in certain areas of the campground). The campground is quiet at night and we could see condors soaring above us in the late afternoon. We plan to come back again next year for spring break .

Campsite was clean, our reservation tag was at the site. I was very pleased with the overall campground.

Park rangers and staff were hella nice. Trailhead parking is extremely limited on weekends, be there by 8am Sat and 9am Sun or you’ll be stuck in line.
