As long as you follow the instructions on how to storage food properly you will have an amazing experience,great restrooms with showers that were very clean a store very well supplied, great hikes, there were 2 families of raccoons around campground but we were on top of keeping everything stored

The campsite was quiet and clean. There was a ton of wildlife around. Raccoons, turkey, deer, quail, rabbits. There are trails nearby and some trailheads start by the campground. There are showers and flush toilets. The phone signal in camp is also good.

Awesome campground, general store supplies are scarce and no nearby towns for miles so make sure to bring what you need. A lot of hiking, but easy hikes to see the park. Super worth it! There are showers, nice bathrooms, fire pits and picnic tables. A lot of wild life too, look forward to that!

Night sky was beautiful. Download a night sky app to help you identify all those stars you can't normally se in the city. Quiet campground and respectful neighbors. Real bathrooms in loop 1 are a plus. Good cell phone service for AT&T.

Loop A was nice - campground was quiet as it's the off season now and it was hot while I was there. Bathrooms were well maintained, camp store has good variety. Most sites in loop A don't have much privacy, though site 8 is at least shaded from the sun through the morning and early afternoon, while still having plenty of open sky for stargazing at night.

Roomy sites with nice, clean bathrooms. Nice faculties overall and a friendly ranger came by to tell us about a star party that night which was awesome. A lot of sites are full sun during the day but it cooled down nicely at night. Only issue is that finding water was a tad unclear. The closest spigot to us was out of service but not marked as so, there as just no water coming from it. And then it took a few minutes to find the next one. They are not clearly marked.

Near the Camp Store, Pool, and shower. NO Shade from 10 am until 6:00 pm. Clean restroom. Under construction in many places.

The men's and women's bathrooms were clogged and overflowing so we had to drive to the next campground bathroom to do our duties. Otherwise, the campground was nice and open and the general store had everything we forgot to bring. The pool was open and those with kids looked like they had a lot of fun. There isn't a lot of shade and it was really hot, so definitely bring a canopy if you want to hang out at your campsite during the day.

It was very nice but the showers were not available.

It's a beautiful campground with great hikes.

Very well maintained campground and trails. Store was a nice surprise. Lots of space between sites. Beautiful park
@ErinG302 · Camped on Dec 17, 2021 at Campsite #8
Super nice park with great hiking trails and nice, clean campgrounds. Loved that it was quiet and the store was convenient to stock up on firewood for the chilly evenings. It’s disappointing that you have to pay an extra $30 on top of your camping reservation to get into the park, and weird that you have to wait until 9:30 when the store opens to get a key to the dump station. Makes it difficult to get up and leave on your departure date.

Hiking at Pinnacles is very good. Some of it is difficult, such as High Peaks Trail, rated steep and narrow on the trail signs. The High Peaks Trail is well worth it if a person is comfortable holding the hand rails on the steep and narrow. I went to Pinnacles to see the California condors, back from the brink of extinction, and I did find them soaring.

Bonito y tranquilo, tienen todo muy limpio y nos la pasamos súper bien en los trails
@MaryH945 · Camped on May 3, 2021 at Campsite #8
What a lovely park! We had a wonderful campsite with shade when we needed it. We are hikers and found such beautiful trails - more than we expected. Seeing the Condors was just special. This is a hidden gem.
