Three nights senior "America the Beautiful" pass tent camping Pinnacles over New Year holiday. All good but was triggered upon learning that family members invited to join in for an afternoon hike had to each pay for a minimum 10 day pass. Yikes!

Park store was great, trails were amazing, but our campsite left something to be desired. Campsites 1, 2, and 3 are very close to where the RVs dump their sewage, with campsite 1 being the closest. Unfortunately we were in campsite 1, so our we smelled sewage the entire time we were at our campsite.I would highly recommend avoiding those three campsites if possible.

Pretty solid campground. A little overpriced in my opinion, but it’s the best option in the park. Be careful of Racoons. They are everywhere and not afraid of people

A bit crowded but very organized and maintained . Trails are easily accessible . Over 4miles of trails with minimal elevation change. Shuttle service available . Only WiFi at camp store

It was very easy to get to the campground. Maps were available of the park and campground outside by the store even though we arrived late at night (8pm). The signs were easy to follow, restrooms were well lit and easy to find as well. the campsites had everything that was listed online (bear locker or racoon locker to be more accurate, a table and fire pit).

Easy to secure a campsite. The site was big enough for our party of 4. We had 2 picnic tables and a fire pit. Bathrooms and trash was close by.

PInnacles campsites are pretty nice. Bonus is a pool, sadly the hours are not great. they close at 6pm in the summer even though it's light until 8pm. this needs to change. one of the two available showers was out of order. the metal stalls of the bathrooms in the shower building are pretty rotted away. while things are clean, it's clear the owners are not spending any money to upgrade the facilities. great for dark sky viewing. very hot during the day in august; cools off at night. the roads are good. maps are good.

Awesome experience, well maintained campground. We enjoyed the duet song from Pinnacles frog's and Owls! Restrooms are clean and best part is they also have shower facilities and swimming pool. Also, only around 6 minutes drive from most exciting trailheads of Pinnacles. The campground store does have some grab-n-go foods and campfire accessories but I wish they also had some protein options so that you don't have to drive 40 minutes to get some proteins for BBQ is you are camping for multiple days!!
