Close but far from Pinnacles bustle
I was solo on this camping trip, and even though I’m used to camping with my wife and four kids, I really loved this off-the-beaten-path campsite on a ranch! I loved hiking the trails around the ranch, visiting with the horses, sheep, goats, dogs, and cats, and exploring the creek. It’s 20 minutes from Pinnacles NP and I loved camping away from the business of the park campground, shuttles, and crowds. I have seasonal allergies, and the cut grass, hay, and dust from the ranch made my nose run and eyes itch, but the common kitchen, facilities, and quiet made this a place that would stay again.
