Weekend Trip to Camp near Pinnacles National Park

Great ranch getaway! Beautiful animals and views and secluded enough to have an awesome camping experience! Kitchen and other amenities were a huge plus! Definitely recommend it!!

Weekend Trip to Camp near Pinnacles National Park

Wonderful Hipcamp site. Gorgeous views all around the campground, lots of wildlife sightings and the river area was fun to explore. Really nice amenities including running water and electricity! A pretty quiet and calm environment that allowed for plenty of relaxation before and after visiting Pinnacles. Strongly recommend!

2 nights at 40min to Pinn/Song of the Ancients

Coming back to this peaceful place for the dark skies and solitude !

Weekend Trip to 40min to Pinn/Song of the Ancients

Lovely, quiet campsite with magnificent hilly views! Veronica is very sweet and has excellent knowledge of the area. Wine tastings available in Hollister and great hiking in Pinnacles NP. Check beforehand for their seasonal closure times for caves.

Weekend Trip to 40min to Pinn/Song of the Ancients

We had a great time disconnecting from the noise and hustle of the city. We visited in our RV and explored the nearby Pinnacles National Park and Mercey Hot Springs. There is plenty of space here even if we came back with a big group. Thanks Veronica for the hospitality!

Weekend Trip to Camp near Pinnacles National Park

I've never had such welcoming and fun filled Hipcamp hosts. Of my 10+ Hipcamp stays, I can say this one was the best. I was so cool to have a full farm just around the corner to go and check out and experience. Horses, goats, sheep, chickens, rabbits (wild and domestic), cats and others. Colby, Mitchell, Tim, and Lilly were so welcoming and pleasant. We bought wood for a fire but were hooked up with a fire pit to be close to our site. Kitchen was setup well and created a great communal place. Some folks horseback rode and did archery, great activities to have on-site. 10/10 would recommend.

Weekend Trip to Camp near Pinnacles National Park

Beautiful remote location but super close to Pinnacles National Park. Sites are fine, ground is a bit lumpy so need to clear sticks/rocks. Would be nice to have it prepared ground that is flat and clear of debrie which would have made it better; but it's very similar to many state parks, so this isn't really a negative, but just something that would make the ranch an amazing location. The shared fire pit, kitchen and bathrooms were great.

2 nights at 40min to Pinn/Song of the Ancients

Veronica’s ranch was beautiful and it was so nice to have convenient access to water and a shower to rinse off. Proximity to Pinnacles was great, Veronica and Jamie were so welcoming and gave fantastic instructions to get on site without service. I felt so comfortable as a solo camper and would absolutely stay here again if I’m in the area!

Weekend Trip to 40min to Pinn/Song of the Ancients

We loved our time at Song of the Ancients - 3 Coyotes! There was a lot of space for multiple tents, and having access to a flushing toilet and outdoor shower was wonderful! Veronica was so kind and very helpful! We would definitely go back in the future!

Weekend Trip to 40min to Pinn/Song of the Ancients

We really enjoyed our time on Veronica's land. It is as described. Beautiful blue oaks to sleep under and expansive sky to star at the stars. Great spot.

Weekend Trip to 40min to Pinn/Song of the Ancients

We had great stay at Song of the Ancients. Everything was as described. Thanks to the shade we were able to easily survive quite hot weather. Perfect option to disconnect yourself for couple of days and enjoy the wilderness.

Weekend Trip to Terra Cultura

Cool town near the campsite and great spot! Beautiful views especially up in the common space. Would recommend!

2 nights at Camp near Pinnacles National Park

The area was very beautiful! Lovely ranch and the campsite kitchen was so nice. Everything was pretty clean, even the bathroom areas. The owners are so sweet and we loved our stay. Animals were so cute too!! We miss the ranch cat, George haha. Definitely suggest :)

Weekend Trip to 40min to Pinn/Song of the Ancients

I loved tent camping here. Peaceful place and easy to access Pinnacles National Park.

Weekend Trip to 40min to Pinn/Song of the Ancients

Wonderful place, our second time there. The campsites were far enough apart to allow privacy.

Weekend Trip to 40min to Pinn/Song of the Ancients

Our group of 8 families loved camping here. There was lots of open space for the kids to roam around and play. Veronica, our host, was responsive and provided art supplies for the kids. The only downside was that it happened to be very windy during our stay, so lots of dust blowing around. Close to Pinnacles - we loved hiking and exploring the caves there.

Weekend Trip to Country Serenity With Resort Flare

A great private site with an amazing pool with all the amenities. Hosts are very accommodating and felt right at home.

Weekend Trip to Terra Cultura

This camping site was awesome for our group of 4. Clean facilities, friendly host and convenient location. We did a hiking on San Juan Bautista trail and visited the old town with historic buildings that was 15min away from Terra Cultura. Nice sky views at night. I highly recommend this place. Thank you.

Weekend Trip to 40min to Pinn/Song of the Ancients

We had a great time camping on Veronica’s land! The campsite was flat and well shaded, had 2 picnic tables, a firepit with grate, and a coffee table and chairs by the ravine. There was a clean flushing toilet and shower with hot water. Very nice amenities for camping. Peaceful with great stargazing visibility.

The Hill Fort - Camelot

18 sites · RVs, Tents48 acres · Greenfield, CA

Camelot was founded on the Summer Solstice, in the year 2000, by a small group of like minded people as a peaceful refuge from the trappings and ills of society. The name "Camelot" was chosen because of the groups' belief in a round table approach to problem solving, and the desire to reach a unanimous group consensus in any course of action which might affect any one individual of the group. A pendragon was elected as the the lifetime group leader, or "first among equals". This position exists today, though the members of the original group have faded into history. We are located a 45 minute drive from Carmel Valley, CA and 50 minutes from Pinnacles National Park. We have 15 tent and RV sites available. We can only accommodate vehicles under 25 ft and there are no hookups. No campfires allowed. Wifi only works in certain areas of the property. Pets are welcome but must be kept on leash. We have a toilet and shower but campers must supply their own soap, shampoo and towels. Please note, there are a lot of animals nearby so there will be noise at night.
