Camping at Pinnacles

Pinnacles Campground Overview

Located on the east side of Pinnacles National Park, the Pinnacles Campground offers a variety of camping options, including tent, group, and RV sites. Please Note: There are no connecting roads between the east and west entrances of the park, so the campground is only accessible from the east side.

Each tent and group site is equipped with a picnic table and fire ring, while most RV sites have electrical hookups and share community tables and barbecue pits. Water is available throughout the campground, and many campsites are shaded by oak trees. Amenities include coin-operated showers, a dump station, and a swimming pool, which is typically open from mid-April through the end of September, depending on weather conditions.

Pet Guidelines

Pets are welcome in the campground, as well as on paved roads and in parking lots, but they are not allowed on park trails. Pets must be on a six-foot leash at all times and should never be tied to an object or left unattended.

Campfire Regulations

Campfires are permitted only during certain fire conditions. Please check the Current Conditions page for updates on fire regulations in the park. Note that collecting firewood is prohibited in Pinnacles National Park.

Help Protect Wildlife

To keep both visitors and wildlife safe, please do not feed the animals in the park. For more information, visit the Keep Wildlife Wild page.
