Everything about this location was great but bring your own wood because it is $17 for a VERY small box at the camp store.

Great campground. Our sites were private. Some were not. Watch out for food at night. The raccoons were brave but easy to scare off.

Lots of different kinds of sites, some short and not very level in the non+ utility area which is where we stayed. Some longer and better for an RV like ours (27 including the bikes) No generators allowed which makes for a nice, quiet campground. We rode our bikes to the Old Pinnacles Trailhead, then hiked which we quite enjoyed.

Site 61 is stunning. It is large and fully shaded. There are many spots to pitch your tent and hang a hammock. You even have a lower level where a small creek is running. Great bird watching on site and many cute raccoons at night. Be careful and dont leave food out. Simple, mobile bathrooms are a short walk away and a spicket is close-by. The campground is great, ample wildlife (deer, turkeys, quail) and the campstore is well equipped. Also, free showers and a swimming pool!

The weather was pretty hot for May and I don't think I could hike here in July or August, or Sept for that matter. Also the mosquitos were very bad at our camp space which was near the little shallow creek (#61). The hiking was very nice but I think probably better in the cooler spring or very late autumn, and whenever the mosquitos are scarce. The toilet/ showers were great ! Better than I expected for camping. (There were only port a potties near #61 but we would walk the distance to avoid a port a potty.)

Great experience except for missing bathrooms in loop C. The portal toilets were difficult to use during the night due to lack of lighting. The portable sinks had chlorinated water which makes face washing and teeth brushing harsh. There were also no staff to check us in or out of the park. Showers could be cleaned more often. Otherwise, great staff and well maintained campgrounds.

Our specific site was wonderful, offering ample shade and a perfect spot for hanging a hammock. Right beside our site, a creek flowed, and we had the delightful opportunity to see a turkey with its baby, numerous rabbits, deer, raccoons, squirrels, and a variety of birds. Therefore, it's essential to remember to store your food in the provided box or your car to avoid attracting wildlife. Given the scorching weather, the free pool and showers for campers were a welcomed relief, especially since temperatures exceeded 100 degrees during our stay.During our short visit, we completed the Balconies Cave (Talus Caves) and Reservoir hike, where we saw bats and even spotted a California Condor! Additionally, we observed that the Rangers and Camp Staff opened hoods when parked, likely indicating a rodent problem. As a precaution, I would recommend opening the hood when parked and overnight to reduce the chance of any uninvited guests!

There was not active monitoring of quiet hours. I did not get great sleep as a large group was up and noisy into the wee-hours. Good facilities. Some campsites better than others; some were so small could barely fit a backpacking tent.

Really nice campground. Our site (#61) was very large and completely shaded.
@KimO617 · Camped on Oct 3, 2021 at Campsite #61
Great time to visit. Campgrounds under 50% full and low traffic on the trails, although an early start was still necessary to avoid afternoon heat. C-loop includes some of the best sites.

Excellent campground. Clean restrooms. Well maintained.

Very pleasantly surprised with this campground. The park is small, but the campground would be perfect for a longer stay, just to get away.
