Camp was clean. Very low noise. Bathroom clean. It goes without saying, that the high peaks trail is awesome and for many, the reason to come here. BUT, spring is best for both wildflowers and cooler temperatures. Can be VERY hot in the summer. Cave trail below Bear Gulch reservoir is a lot of fun if one is not claustrophobic. Bring a flashlight for that. Nice and cool inside. Get to the trailhead parking lots EARLY as parking gets filled early, especially on weekends. Use shuttle if no parking (weekends and holidays only - usually).

Love the camp ground and the platform tents. I only wish there at least one more bank of showers in the area.

Pinnacles is so underrated. We stayed in spot 77 and it was really nice, but there is zero shade the whole spot.

Great campground and site. Wonderful location in Spring. Our campsite had a LOT of poison oak on the access path, and in the area surrounding the tent location.

The site 29 was ok…. If you want privacy, I don’t recommend. You are right next to the tent cabins. Also, right in front of the site is a large field and then the restroom. So you will see a lot of traffic to the restrooms. During our stay we had a dad and group of boys using the field to play baseball. They hit my car and didn’t even apologize until I asked them to be careful. Rude group. Oh and then there was a the group to the side of us, opposite of the tent cabins… they reserved a few sites, had tons of kids, super noisy even after quiet hours. Lastly, I want to mention that this is the first camp experience where the host doesn’t stop by at least once to check in on us. Everywhere else I have been the camp host will stop by, say hello and even sell you firewood.
I do want to say the ladies who work at the little stores at the entrance of the campsite were very nice and helpful.
Oh and last FYI - there are only two working showers for the whole campsite. Be prepared to wait. They are free, and provide shampoo, conditioner, and body wash which is super generous. Thank you.

Decent campground; with some sites being better than others. Bathrooms were quite a distance from the site I had (this information was noted in the site information, so it was not a surprise). The racoons weren't an issue (this time), but the mosquitos were (lots of standing water in the area).

We stayed in tent #81 and loved it. It is nice and clean. We especially enjoyed the chairs on the porch. Nice bathrooms and close by.

We had a great experience. The campsite was clean and the trails were well maintained and gave some stunning views of the peaks and in the caves. We had an excellent time looking at the wildlife and watching the condors. I'd highly recommend this to anyone who hasn't been and is willing to spend a day to day and a half!

The tent cabins were clean, comfortable and perfect for our family! They were centrally located near bathrooms and easily accessible to hiking trails. Would definitely visit again!
