This campsite seemed more private than most, it was the only one in the vicinity on its side of the road. Very spacious. The nearby toilets were port-o-potties, if that matters to you.The campsites are pretty far from the well known hiking trails near the inside of the park. I was here on Thanksgiving day where things weren't too full, so I was able to drive in and park easily. The day after Thanksgiving was another story - the lots in the park (bear gulch, old pinnacles, others) filled up early. The shuttle service they offered from the campground parking to bear gulch, while much appreciated, was not frequent enough to handle all the visitors. For busy holidays/weekends, prepare for disappointing waits, or to tack on an extra 5 miles of hiking if you want to hike in straight from the campgrounds.

Must get there before 9:00AM on weekend or parking will be full at top location and you will need to hike up three miles on very hot summer heat.

Love the campsite. Very clean and free showers! There was a nice sized pool to help beat the heat. The raccoons and birds were way too fearless around us campers. I was trying to eat my peach peacefully but a blue scrub came straight flying at my face for it. It was also way too hot but that's what you get for camping in the summer. The camp store was nice. We had to wake up super early to beat the heat to go on a nice hike and it was worth it!

Enjoyed the stay at Pinnacles campground very much. Appreciated the well maintained bathroom facilities. Liked the very low speed limit that accommodated the many quail, turkey, and squirrels crossing the road. The firewood box with starter at the camp store was handy, but too pricey at $20/box.

We luckily chose a spot in the C loop which allowed for a more private camping experience. A lot of the other loops are wide open spaces with no privacy. Park was quiet, great star gazing, fully stocked store, and lots of very friendly wildlife esp the raccoons! Only odd and off putting was the over zealous park ranger and unmarked Fed vehicle with pump action rifles constantly patrolling an otherwise very safe parkseemed very excessive and not inline with other NPs or SPs.

Great park. Campsites gave a nice amount of privacy. Smaller than most National Parks but gorgeous! I would recommend staying 1 night :)

They said that the showers would be in maintenance for two weeks, we booked for after those days, and when we got there it still wasn't working.

This is a beautiful place to visit. Just ridiculous how nps regulates every step you take. Charges $40 to pitch my own tent. Kinda crazy you dont charge for oxygen...yet. plus the public shouldnt need to "review" wilderness. This is not a best buy.

Unbelievable hikes and the kids had a blast in the pool! Watch out for the raccoons they are a real nuisance!

Stayed at site 62 for one night and had a great time. The site had a little privacy with some bushes and large stumps that we appreciated. Short walk to bathrooms. Showers are at the entrance to the campground, so that was a short drive. Would stay again.
