The campground is beautiful in winter! Would love to come back in spring. We used one of the electric sites for our tent, and the site was spacious and centrally located but equally a distance to walk for any restroom, but that's understandable because usually those sites are used for RVs. The shuttle service to the park f3om the campground on weekend days is very convenient, but the lines do get long so you may have to wait to get on. We enjoyed our stay and would love to go back again. Very pretty hike to the resevoir through the caves and very unique landscape in Pinnacles. Definitely recommend!

This is trip number-----can't remember, to many, been coming since early 2000's. Came to see the Condors but they were not in residence this time. There roost tree is above rv slot #102 and is the scrawny, beat up pine at the top of the ridge. We saw no condors and it appears the turkey vultures have taken over the roost tree. We wonder if the paving project this summer and the constant school activity has forced them to move on. No matter, it just such a peaceful place, we love it.

Great campground. Our site, 102, had ample room and not too close to our neighbors. It is dry camping but water, the store and dump station are close by. Nothing better than waking to gobbling wild turkeys in the morning.Local hiking was amazing with the wild flowers adding to the beauty of the area.Our only frustration, as with many places weve visited post COVID, was the shortage of park rangers and volunteers. This meant some facilities and education centers werent open.AT&T cell coverage was great but my wifes Verizon was nonexistent.
Excellent

Great site. Clean facilities. Wonderful hikes. I had a great time. Would visit again.

Hiking was amazing. I was also nice to have 30 amps of electrical service while camping. I have used the dump station on past camping trips and it works great, but on my last visit it was backed up.

Everything was good. The nature is stunning and the people are nice.

Great national park and a very nice campground. It was clean, peaceful and generally very nice. The spot that I had (102 or 103 I think) did not have any shade so be cautious and make sure to bring a pop-up or make plans to deal with the heat. The pool is nice but is fairly small for how many campers were there. Overall, I would definitely go back and would recommend staying here to anyone in doubt.

Ive never been to pinnacles NP and thoroughly enjoyed the park, hiking, camping it was beautiful. The bats and rain kept some places closed but thats Mother Nature and we are thankful for both bats and rain

From the shuttle driver and the gift shop/grocery clerk, everyone was great. Just wish that there was better information about water access.

Place was clean and the bathrooms were really nice.

The camping experience was good. Poured like crazy Saturday but no problem with our campsite. Sunday was beautiful so we were able to hike. The caves were great with beautiful water falls cascading down. We've never seen Pinnacles with so much water. Just Beautiful! Would love it if you could open the ranch road to bicycles. I'm sure you don't want folks out there on bikes when it's wet making ruts. But it's nice riding for anybody. Unfortunately we had to turn around as soon as we saw the NO Bikes sign. We are not mountain bikers. Just road bikers and would love a little more riding from the campgrounds.

The RV shore power electrical hookups do not support EFCI earth ground protection required for newer RV systems. Newer RV systems will not power up with the configuration.

We are an older couple, therefore the long hiking trails didn't appeal to us. We loved being up in the Pinnacles RV park. Next time I will work harder to get us into a site with electricity AND water hook up.
@NicoleA52B8380 · Camped on Sep 16, 2022 at Campsite #102
Pinnacles is a great place to enjoy nature! The park rangers are amazing and very knowledgeable. I can't wait to return for the spring equinox!

Had a nice three night stay. Enjoyed hiking up to the Bear Gulch Cave and looking for condors.
@RonaldM7208164 · Camped on Mar 13, 2022 at Campsite #102
Great park for hiking. The caves are great if you're into that sort of thing. RV spaces are nice and spacious. Electric hookup only, not water or sewer but there is a dump station.
@KimberlyO4552C · Camped on Mar 10, 2022 at Campsite #102
Check in was easy. The hikes were exactly what we anticpated. The visitor center was a good place to get information. We did see a couple of condors - on our bucket list!
@RichardK748784 · Camped on Mar 2, 2022 at Campsite #102
we hade a great time did spot a California Condore do wish the visitor center hade been open mortit would be nice to have cell service over all hade a great visit.
@RichardK748784 · Camped on Mar 1, 2022 at Campsite #102

Loved the spacious campground and facility was very clean. The one thing I fail to understand is that they don't want to bring in wood from out of the area. They also don't want you foraging for firewood either. So what do they do, charge $12.00 for a small bundle of firewood. Crazy.
@SabinW898 · Camped on Dec 4, 2021 at Campsite #102
No Sewer no water but there is 30Amp, Water and dump stations.
Clear nights give great star views. Good hiking. Bring wood- it is very expensive.

Water hookups only at select sites. When I asked about filling up my tank with water, they instructed me to pull in front of another campsite, which blocked traffic for those coming into that loop. Very limited Visitor Center hours, closed 2 days a week due to only 1 staff member running it. The campground was beautiful and relatively quiet, but people drive way too fast on the main drag considering campsites line this road. The hiking nearby was great. The parking is very limited but the shuttle only runs maybe every 30 minutes. The caves were great!

Campground was well cared for, lots of water sources and really cool to be able to see condors riding the air currents above the nearby Mtn.
