Pinnacles Campground in CA
National Park Service allows overnight stays only at the designated sites here.
Situated among oak trees and a seasonal creek on the east side of Pinnacles National Park, Pinnacles Campground features tent sites, group sites, and RV sites with electric hookups. On-site facilities include flush toilets, drinking water, showers, a general store, and a seasonal swimming pool open April through September. The campground connects directly to the park's 30-mile trail network via the Bench Trail, giving hikers and rock climbers access to Bear Gulch Reservoir, talus caves, Machete Ridge, and soaring California condors.
