The park has lots of wildlife and beautiful scenery. The campground is definitely for tent campers and not a good fit for RV's. The tent sites can be small and secluded. The RV area is not very shaded and not at all secluded. It's a good park for hikers. The slow moving water in the creek that flows through the campground provided plenty of bugs.

We thoroughly enjoyed our High Rim hike. We saw California Condors! Pinnacles is now one of our favorite Parks.

What a beautiful campground. We did learn the bathrooms near our original campsite were closed and had only portajohns. While I feel the NPS should have notified us the staff at the camp store did help up to relocate. Extremely helpful fellow.

We’d love to see more Park Rangers and the visitor center open. We know it’s a difficult time for National Parks and are so impressed with all that was offered, how wonderfully maintained the site was and the friendliness of those running the campground.

Camp site # 31 was shady and beautiful. The Pinnacles and scenery are gorgeous.
No showers close by and only two for women and two for men in the entire campground. :( No lights at night in the bathroom. :(
Soap in our bathroom!! :)) And a filtered water dispenser!! The pool was great! :))
You need more trees where the RV's are stationed.
