Great place for hiking. Many different paths to get to beautiful caves or cliffs. Ironically, the place to see a condor was from the campgrounds. Showers and bathrooms are very nice. If you can visit on a weekday, you shouldn't have too much trouble with parking at the trail heads.

Good campsite, except for the racoons- we left our side door open for a few minutes and the racoons crawled in and grabbed some muffins we had in a container. My husband chased them and had to hit one with our lantern to get then to drop the container. Never seen racoons this aggressive!

Spent two nights. I used reviews and AI to select site and AI failed on a few counts. The site I occupied (#67) was in front of porta-potties and close to the creek. Site 66 is very close to the optimal tent site (closer than I would have expected) limiting privacy. The site is surrounded mostly by dense brush and poison oak which had a few visible but hard to extract trash items. Being close to creek, the site was moderately buggy for September. I was also not aware of the aggressive racoon population, which should be better disclosed and recommended practices for storage clearly provided against this scavenger when making a campsite reservation. A racoon stole my Gregory backpack loaded with my windbreaker/rain pants/ gaiters (not for Pinnacles!) in the 15 minutes while I packed my tent 30 ft away! The campground has great hot showers, a limited store and gift shop, and sadly a recently closed pool due to San Benito County health department order.

Lots of raccoons. Were fearless of humans. We were scared to sit and stargaze
