Between Christmas and New Years we needed a place to hang out, this place filled the bill. It was mostly empty, and very quiet. No services, other than pit toilets. Enough cell service to stay in touch. Some hiking, although it appears to be a popular climbing place.
We really liked this place.

We were transiting from the Central Coast to north of the Bay Area, and looking for a place to spend the night (Big Sur is impassable due to rock slides). Pinnacles was a great stop. We only spent the night, which was a shame. It's a beautiful setting and a decent campground. The sites are clean and large. If you want solitude, drive to the far end of the loop across the creek. There was one campsite taken. There is a small area with power and water. The bathrooms are clean, although very tired. Like the rest of the National Park system, Congress determination to underfund the parks is obvious, as is the efforts made my rangers to do the best they can.
There are hiking trails everywhere, as well as condors! We intend to come back, with enough time to explore. Note: the campground is in a canyon. If you are dependent on solar power, you'll want to be very careful about where you park.
There is zero cell service. Closest groceries are 30 min north in Hollister.
