had a nice visit for 3 days. sites were clean, campground quiet. My only concern was the wifi does not work at the sites. I was in site 100 and there is a wife pole next to the site and we could not log in and the router doesn't even come up as an option...... WIFI is important as a lot of us work on the road when we travel.

We stayed in an RV and appreciated the available electrical hookup. The site itself was flat and roomy. The campground has a lot of non-hookup sites for tents and maybe small RVs and many of these looked pretty nice. The free shuttle bus from the campground store to the trailheads was very helpful due to the limited parking at the trailheads. Campground staff was friendly and helpful. The campground store was small, but offered plenty of basics and many convenience items, which is good because the next closest store is 25 miles away.

The campground was clean, the sites RV sites were well marked and it was quiet. A great base for hiking in the Pinnacles! The staff in the store were always polite and courteous.

The trails were fantastic. I loved the trail accessibility from the campground. The bathroom facilities are not adequate to support the number of campsites and/or campers. Many sites are so far from the few bathrooms that it is necessary to drive to the bathroom. On the weekend, the bathrooms were disgusting and showering required a wait. There is clearly space to build additional facilities and/or upgrade existing ones.

This campground is in a beautiful setting with easy access to the hiking trails. We enjoyed our stay at the campground and only gave it the 3 starts because of the water situation. Know that they don't have a water station to fill up your RV but have water spread out around the campground. We were told to fill up at a water spigot near someone's campsite when there was one within 5 feet of our campsite. (The person checking us in did not understand this.)

This is now my all-time favorite National Park!!

Well-managed campground. stunning vistas, hikes and condors. Bring good binoculars for the birds.

Ha trouble finding open roads that were passable when traveling from I-5...recommend approaching on US-101

Great campground - no separation between sites in the RV area but spacious enough. No generators allowed, which was great for the quiet. The showers were being rebuilt with no estimate of when they would be finished. For $55 nightly fee there should have been a discount for that. Pinnacles is one of the most incredible parks anywhere - from the cave hike going up several levels with a waterfall that cascades beside the trail, it is an unique experience. There are now several condors in the park. We hiked up to the crest at sunrise and found a condor waiting for the updrafts - so about an hour wait until the condor launched into the air. Great trails and views - this time of year the green moss covering the massive rocks in the canyon are vivid. It's a great place to visit. Many folk brought bikes because the campground and surrounding landscape is flat, so easy biking.

rv camp site was up front and clear on all services provided. Electric only , there is an on site dump station and multi water stations to fill your rv fresh water tank if needed. I just filled my water tank at home so I didn't have to worry about filling it there. I'm 1.5 hours away so carrying the extra weight didn't concern me . If I had a longer travel time then I would deal with the trouble of filling my tank there to save on fuel and wear and tear with the added road travel weight of fresh water. There was around 30 + feet spacing from the next rvs to me 360 degrees around. I been in some rv parks with only 15 feet of separation... I'm not comparing pinnacles to other places. I enjoy and appreciate what pinnacles is and what it has to offer. Roger

The campground and park was very nice! I hope to go back again! My one huge complaint is that they don’t allow dogs on ANY trails. While I understand the reasons for this, our dogs are our family and not being able to include them detracts from the experience.

Campground has limited shade in RV area but our campsite (100) had late morning through afternoon shade and had water tap right by it. Main down side is that the dump station is only open when store is open (9:30 to approx 5 pm I believe) No flushing of tanks allowed due to limited septic tank space per sign. Unfortunately we were unable to dump before we left around 9 am.
@DaveC488 · Camped on Aug 8, 2021 at Campsite #100
There are lots of fairly short and doable day hikes here under 6 miles. It's a great spot to spend a few days, just make sure you plan to get out early and be done with your hiking by around noon during the summer. After that either hang out at the swimming pool or somewhere with air conditioning for the hotter parts of the day. The caves and condors were the two major highlights for us.

Our campsite was awesome. We got lucky that it was available last minute. The water spigot was next to our campsite so it was easy to get refills for our rv. Not that we needed it. Trails were very manicured but HOT. Bring plenty of water. We went on the bench trail and there was a lot see if your an adult. Kids not so much as the caves were closed. They offer WiFi that is $10 or $7 depending on who you speak to. The dump station was broken so we had to drive to gilroy to dump our rv. Very inconvenient as we didn’t find out till last minute. If you don’t want to pay for WiFi just expect no cell service at all which we enjoyed both ways. It was nice to hang out with family. Be prepared for hot weather during the hike.

Great place to visit. Beautiful scenery.
@garyw472 · Camped on Apr 11, 2021 at Campsite #100
I know the park is a new NF but they sure don't seem to be ready for prime time. Showers are advertised but no hot water, pool advertised as open on April 1 but really opens on the 15th??. Registration at office is not organized. Staff was friendly and grounds were pretty clean.
@BruceK339 · Camped on Mar 19, 2021 at Campsite #100
Great hikes. Start early and drive to bear gulch lot. The hike to that area is less interesting. Can see more if you start at bear gulch. WiFi was ok when it worked but it went out in our area for a day.
@GailR142 · Camped on Mar 18, 2021 at Campsite #100
A small, well maintained campground. Good spacing between RV spots.

Great RV spot! Clean and very nice hiking trails from beginners to advanced!
