Don't stay at space 96. There is no shade. When we went, on May 16th, the women's bathroom was crowded, filthy, and out of soap and paper towels. This is more like a state park than a national park. The trails were very nice, though.

So sorry that there wasn't any staffing to provide ranger-led activities. At some point, would love that a bathroom with showers was closer to the campground with hook-ups. The ones that are used by the day-use are usually pretty trashed and the other two are a fair distance away.

Beautiful campground and hiking trails. Arrive in early spring. Creeks were flowing. Hill were lush and green.

Long walk to restrooms from the RV section of campground. Otherwise loved it.

My husband and I experienced the Pinnacles 6 years ago. This trip was as exciting, but the sites were very small and not expected. Ours was supposed to be a pull through, was not and that was a disappointment. The amenities were the same and a truly outdoor fun time, nice people and I must point out that the store prices were extremely high. Need some more post cards!

Campground was very clean and well managed. Enjoyed our stay very much. Electrical hookups so we could run our AC was awesome.

Came down to see the condors and were not disappointed. We arrived and found that between 12 and 14 condors were in the roost tree at the top of the south ridge. Seems like the have expanded to a new roost tree to the east. There we two or three juveniles with dark heads. We saw the the next night as well. The following night they flew over and went to the high peaks. They did not return to the roost tree during the remainder or our 7 day stay. If you have never seen a condor the best way is to look at the wings as they pass through the sun. Turkey vultures will reflect white at the back of their wings and condors will reflect light at the front. We will be back.

The sites were clean and well kept. The check in store were great
Pinnacles is beautiful and worth the trip. Keep in mind the parking lot for day visitors fills early if you want to start your hike there.

Sites and bathrooms are clean and well maintained. Staff is helpful and personable . Abundant signs and information plaques guide and direct in an intelligent fashion.
This National monument is famous for outstanding rock formations and condors. The rock formations make this place magical and can be counted on to impress coming in from either west or east entrances. The Condors are a rare pleasure to see; best odds are mornings just after sunrise in an area on the east side Ranger station called Condor gulch trailhead.
Getting from one park entrance to the other is a minimum 90minute drive...or a three hour hike.

Beautiful scenery and the weather was wonderful.

Very quiet campground, decent bathrooms. Large spaces with no crowding. Best access to the Pinnacles NP. The two pay showers had very little warm water and very weak water pressure. The dump station was also out of service, which caused us an additional cost as we had to pay to dump our tanks on our way home. At least we were prepared for that as we received an email about the dump station OOS prior to our arrival.

There are good camp sites and not so good camp sites at Pinnacles. Our, Site #96 was not so good. No shade, More like a group site that had been divided into separate sites. Things are unfortunately, mis-marked after they shifted sites around. Slightly confusing. Our site was WAY far away from the bathroom and showers. In the bathroom with the shower, the floor of the toilet stall, which was right next to the shower stall, was always wet. There was much room for improvement. Trails were nice, and saw Condors.
@GregoryB381 · Camped on Mar 14, 2021 at Campsite #96
Wet weather but our site (#101) didn't have any standing water.
@CarrieR970 · Camped on Mar 5, 2021 at Campsite #96
Bathrooms were just so far from 101D. But the stars were amazing.
