Spacious, secluded. Creek runs behind site. Plenty of shade. Close to bathrooms. Poison oak on either side of stairs leading down to site but this can be avoided. Raccoons come out at night, starting about 9:00. Bunnies, deer, blue jays, and quail. I have never camped this close to wildlife before. Bear Gulch Trail was amazing. Will definitely camp at Pinnacles again, sometime in the spring.

At our campsite #117, there poison oak in the stairs from the parking area to the site. I can understand it being in the bushes and all, but it was nearly impossible to take our gear to our site without getting into it. Otherwise our campsite was very nice and pleasant. Another note, is that bathrooms are farther away than we have experienced in many campgrounds. We thoroughly enjoyed hiking. There was no parking at the trailheads so it was necessary to hike about 5 miles to the trailheads. We opted for one of our group to shuttle us back and forth and miss out on the hiking.

We camped at group campsite 117g. The parking area is about 100 feet from the picnic tables and the fire ring. You must walk down a steep path from the parking spaces. Once there, it is very secluded and quiet. The nearest restroom is by the pool, which is at least a 10 minute walk. Not acceptable. We usually car pooled to the restrooms. Get to the trailhead parking areas early because they fill up fast and you can't park along the sides of the road

This is a review on site 117, not on the campground as a whole. I had a terrible experience. One of the posted campground rules is to not walk through others' campsites. However, there's a trail that runs directly through campground 117. Other campers would constantly walk through, at all times. I want to be clear, it's not like they were walking by the site, they would walk directly through it, moving between chairs and tents, or me and the fire. It made me very uneasy to even step away for a moment, since the site had no privacy or security. At one point I came back from the bathrooms and found a couple eating at my campsite's bench. I first thought they were going through my stuff, and then realized they just thought it was an open area. And again, this would happen 24/7, as other campers would be using the trail to go to the bathrooms by the visitor center. There's also an amphitheater right by the site, where parents would bring their kids to play and eat. This made the foot traffic through my campsite even worse. Avoid site 117 and 118.

Very easy to navigate park! The shuttle takes you to the main attractions, and the caves are easy to navigate (although be in a bit of shape for them). Only ask would be that the shuttles go until 7pm!
