No Hotels: East Side Campground and Tent Cabins
There are no hotels within Pinnacles National Park, so visitors who want to stay overnight will find their lodging at the Pinnacles Campground on the east side of the park.
The campground can be reached only from the east side because there are no connecting roads between the park's two entrances. Plan your route before you arrive.
Campers can choose from tent sites, group sites, and recreational vehicle sites, and the campground has 30 recreational vehicle sites with electrical hookups. Every tent and group site has its own picnic table and fire ring. Most recreational vehicle sites also share community tables and barbecue pits. Many campsites are shaded by oak trees, and water is available throughout the grounds.
If you would rather not set up a tent, you can rent one of 10 tent cabins with beds. Pinnacles Recreation Company, an authorized concessionaire of the National Park Service, runs the campground and its lodging. Sites can be reserved in advance at recreation.gov.
Showers at the campground take coins, and there is a dump station for recreational vehicles along with a swimming pool to cool off in. The Pinnacles Park Store is also located in the campground.
The Western National Parks Association runs the shop, which carries guidebooks, maps, games, and keepsakes. Money from sales goes back into park programs and conservation work.
