such a great experience being out there with nature. camping was a great experience with the racoons eating up anything you leave outside. You can hear them with families of exploring racoons !
Excellent

Overall, it's a nice campground. We have campsite 21 & 22 which are across from one another and didn't have immediate neighbors. There was also a water spicket nice and close. Both sites are close to road and 21 had some nice shade but 22 didn't really have any shade.The showers and bathrooms were nice and clean. Staff in the shops are friendly. It was a hot weekend and the pool was closed which was my only compliant. It was a nice campground and experience, I would definitely return.AT&T cell service worked fine, Visable had no reception.

This campground is perfect in every way! I loved my campsite #21 in June it was in the shade for most of the day. The raccoons will take everything if it is not locked away.

Had a great time here with the family. Restrooms were not far from our site and there was a nice pool to cool off in.

Stayed one night in the pouring rain, but worth it for the hike and views the next day!

Ranger at the gate was very nice.

Nice amenities and pretty hikes. My favorite was the dark skies - great views of the Milky Way in July and August!

Campground was relatively well maintained. Shade was at a premium but I’m not sure how this could be improved. We left early due to unanticipated heat and he inability o use a generator to cool off in our van. I would return but at a different time of year.

Great campground for a national park. Running water and real bathrooms, plus free hot showers. It wasn’t really pool weather but that’s another huge perk. The park is absolutely gorgeous. Can’t complain.

My first time visit to the park, and I loved it! Highly recommend visiting the caves and exploring the various hiking trails. I stayed two nights at the campground and it was perfect. If you plan to use the showers, they were free, but were at best, luke warm. Overall, it was a great visit for me. I spent 3 days in the park and I think that is enough time to see everything.
@TamaraP0E4FEDC · Camped on Jan 19, 2023 at Campsite #21
Campsites are clean, the bathrooms are well maintained and are actual bathrooms not just outhouses, and there are free showers near the pool that are very clean as well. The park itself is beautiful during the day and at night. Definitely a must stay.

Calm n clean.

I spent one night there. Not too many people for mid June. The shower was good certainly a lot better than I would have expected and o had not expected a shower. Well stocked store that I really didnt take advantage of.

Large enough for multiple tents but not much isolation from other sites. Raccoons attacked my tent because I inadvertently left a snack in my backpack
@KyleC4155064 · Camped on Apr 22, 2022 at Campsite #21
The pinnacles is great. A couple complaints, they wont let the camp host sell firewood after the general store closes at 4 or 5. So if you roll in at 530 your outta luck. Also, to enter the park you have to pay the park fee not just your camping fee so after leaving camp at or around check out time we waited over 30 minutes to leave. There is no lane to bypass the park ranger if you have already paid and they only staff it with one person during what they know is a very busy time sunday mornings....hmmm maybe Management would and could remedy that somehow.

Great timeBathrooms need improvement
@Alejandro1DBBC · Camped on Feb 17, 2022 at Campsite #21
The campground was well taken care of and the wildlife was abundant. The two cave hikes at Pinnacles are a must in my opinion. Such a fun experience all around.
@AmyM500 · Camped on Jan 8, 2022 at Campsite #21
This park far exceeded my expectations. Beautiful scenery, well maintained trails, and lots of birds. The high peaks loop via Condor Ridge trail is stunning!!

The park itself is a hidden gem, and the hiking is great. Some of the campsites are a little bit on top of each other, but we had a good spot with a decent amount of privacy. The camp store is very nice and the staff were also very friendly. We saw rangers several times throughout, which helped to ensure that it was a safe and quiet time. They totally left us alone at night while we were relaxing by our fire, but their presence seemed to deter the usual loud partying late into the night that often happens at large campgrounds. Also, the EV charger at the store was great. We didn't need it, but it's great to have that peace of mind in case you're running low.

I spent two nights and three days at Pinnacles--my first visit. The area is lovely, and I enjoyed some short hikes and bird-watching. The downsides were a not-so-great campsite (now that I've seen other sites, I'll know where to request) and noisy, boorish neighbors (which I can't fault Pinnacles for). All in all, a good experience.
