Beautiful experience, my children had the best time, Bear Gulch hike was amazing. Slippery and dark, take shoes with grip and a head lamp is best so your hands are free. Lots of poison ivy on trail so be aware. Leaves are clusters of 3. Clean bathrooms and showers, water is hot, has shampoo/body wash. 2 showers, 3 toilets. Shuttle takes you to hiking area, last run at 530pm. Little store a bit pricy but far from town so try to not forget things. Wood bundles $20. Does get super cold at night. All in all we cannot wait to return, it was just what we needed.

Reservation was easy to make on line. Campground was clean and quiet. We enjoyed a great hike to Bear Gulch Cave and the Reservoir. The trails are well kept. The Park Rangers at the Nature Center were very pleasant and offered great information regarding the park and trails. We had a great time, so glad we took the time to experience this National Park.

Great spot. Facilities are clean. Note - no cell service whatsoever except at the store. Note, you also have to pay a park entrance fee or have a pass to get into Pinnacles. This is not included in the camping reservation fee.

Location was excellent and the showers were very welcomed (thank you). The drive in part of the camp sites could be leveled better. Separation between sites is generally good. More posted information at the store would be beneficial regarding the operation of the east side of the park.

We enjoyed our stay at Pinnacles NP.The scenery, wildlife, friendly staff, nice trails were all appreciated. The park was a pleasant surprise and would recommend Pinnacles to those who have not yet visited.

Great spot to camp. Safe. Showers. Dump station. And visitors center… all in the same vicinity and only 2 miles from the trailhead that leads you to the perfect photo spot!

Great experience and loved staying at the Pinnacles Campground. I had site 16, which was close to the bathrooms and very private. So convenient to all the great trails at the park, and I was so happy to get a site for the weekend. The staff at the store and the park information were very helpful, and we had a great Ranger program put on by the son of the Ranger. He did an excellent job and was happy to attend. Great information about the wildlife in the park and the different habitats that make up the park.
