Site 37 was enclosed by high brush on the sides, but fully open to the campsite behind us, clear view of the other campers at all times. Water tap is on the site so others would come right beside our vehicle to access. Facilities were clean.

Pinnacles is amazing! Didnt think it had so much to offer, definitely a lot of wildlife in the campground morning and at night. Restrooms were clean and showers were also very well maintained. I would comeback, but maybe get a bigger site. Sites are closed together and you can hear everyones conversation, especially if your neighbors like to talk loud.

Erholsamer Campground inmitten der Natur, mit der Mglichkeit Tiere hautnah zu erleben. Grozgige Pltze und saubere Einrichtungen.Vielfltige, abwechslungsreiche, teils spektakulr, gut ausgeschilderte und gut ausgebaute Wanderwege. Der Rundweg Bear Gulch/High Peaks der teilweise durch Hhlen verluft spricht auch Kinder an. Absolut zu empfehlen!

Excellent spot! Next to water and restroom nearby. Might not be a suitable choice on a hot summer day. AT&T cell service good on this part of campground. My friends T-mobile no service. But on Day 3 she was able to somehow receive a call at the camp spot. Also, Good hiking choices for all!

Upon arrival, our campsite was full of puddles from the recent rains. The ranger was able to easily move us to another site, which was just as secluded if not moreso. Potable water was close and made easy for doing dishes. Being able to park directly in your site is a huge plus. Had many nocturnal visitors including a family of raccoons who were eager to share our trip tip sandwiches, to which we had to shoo away multiple times, but made for a good laugh. Overall great experience.

Pinacles is one of those few special places left in California where you feel like you’re getting a wilderness experience as far as the trails the views and some of the wildlife. I would’ve given it five stars but while I was there there was a bunch of construction going on next-door campsite I felt like we should’ve been aware of it before we made a reservation, we had to put up with lotta noise and dust starting at 7 AM. I understand it’s for the better of the park but still I would like to come to Pinacles when this wasn’t going on.

A spectacular spot, but the campground staff were not very committed. When I asked for some basic information in the store, the clerk just said that she is "not a ranger" . There was not even any trail maps available with out driving back out to the entrance.
Pool was not open even though the weather was quite warm.
Restrooms were sort of cleaned but no one had mopped the corners within recent history.
But, a great location.

A fantastic weekend away with the family.
Pros:
Convenient wood delivery
Nice restrooms
Great hiking from the campsite.
Cons:
The site had very little shade
It was a constant battle to keep the wildlife away from food
Lots of flies in the heat of the day
Showers were impossible due to queues

We loved the campground. There are bushes and/or trees between sites for privacy. We saw a lot of rabbits, a few deer and you hear a lot of different kinds of birds all the time.
Each site has a firepit.
The trail that leads to Bear Gulch Reservoir is the best hike I have ever been on, even though the caves were closed at the time.
There are only 2 showers for each ender for the whole campground.
And when we were there the rangers blocked the roads when they thought the small parking lots to the sightseeing spots were full.
