Hikes were gorgeous but start early in the day to avoid heat and crowds. Viewing the condors was the highlight!

My daughter and I spent 2 nights at Pinnacles recently to camp and hike. With all of the rain this year the whole area was still green, with flowers growing near all of the trails. The weather was perfect. Our campsite was perfect, as well. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Our longest hike was 11 miles, starting on the Old Pinnacles Trail, going across the High Peak Trail, and then looping back down through the Bear Gulch Caves before heading back to the car. The whole hike was amazing. Parts were rated as hard but at 69 years old I was able to do it all. We had a great 3 days/2 nights.

Great campsite. Clean facilities and convenient store.

We had the best spot with shade and lots of space. Free pool for campers, which my kids loved. Leave to hike EARLY or they close the road for half the day and you’re SOL. Staff was super friendly for the most part. Camp bathroom sewer backed up and toilets were closed 2 mornings in a row but they set up portables.

We always have a good time at the Pinnacles. We continue to love the "no generators at any time" and "no amplified music" rules. I wish the signage would be replaced at the Bacon Ranch. Also an easy project for an Eagle Scout would be an life size illustration (with wings stretched out) of a Condor, Turkey Vulture, and Eagle. I thought the firewood was priced way too high.

We expected the showers to be operational. Only one of the women's showers worked at all and it was only a trickle (could not be considered a shower at all). This defect was not mentioned in Current Conditions or when we checked in. Otherwise; the camping and hiking was good thank you.

I love the Pinnacles. Our site was spacious and clean.Bathrooms were clean. Neighbors were nice and polite. We got to see a condor. Ha ha beware of Raccoons . They are opportunists.

No contact with campground operating staff. Dump station closed and no prior warning, a definite problem for campers planning to utilize it.

The general store there was quite helpful in doing the check in for us.
