Best Glamping near Pinnacles National Park

Glamping near Pinnacles National Park centers around the park's own campground, which has several upscale tent options with real beds and electricity. These safari-style tents come with quality bedding and climate control systems for comfortable sleeping in all weather. The campground store sells basic food items, though many glampers bring coolers with their own prepared meals. Most glamping structures at Pinnacles blend well with the landscape while providing much more comfort than standard camping would. Unlike roughing it in a regular tent, you'll have actual furniture and proper lighting in your glamping accommodation. Many of the park's best hiking trails start within walking distance of the glamping area, making morning hikes convenient. The main Pinnacles Campground has become increasingly popular for its glamping setups in recent years. Each unit comes furnished with real beds and some include small sitting areas. The structures provide good shade and feel relatively private despite being in a developed campground. You'll find running water, flush toilets and shower facilities close to all glamping units. The dramatic rock formations and caves that make Pinnacles famous are all within easy reach from the glamping area. Whether you stay in a canvas tent or one of the more permanent structures, you'll need to reserve well ahead - weekends book up months in advance at these sites.
