This campground, formerly privately owned, is now a part of the Pinnacles National Monument and is slowly being upgraded. A newly electrified area is nearly complete and waiting to be hooked up to mainline power source. Water spigots are scattered through the new area so you might need a long hose in order to fill your tank as you cannot stay connected to the spigot. We were the only ones here mid-week along with deer, wild turkeys, quail, and a bobcat. It was very pleasant and very quiet. At this time of year the store/registration area has very limited hours during the week, but you can self register. We stayed in the older loop where there are currently only a few sites with electricity. At this time non-electric sites are $23 and electric sites are $36. Golden Age passport is honored at 50% discount, and the Pass also waves the monument entrance fee of $5. There is a dump station, but potable water is only available from the scattered spigots (for filling only) in the camping area where a a long hose might be needed to reach your RV. Reservations can be made at "Reserveamerica", but I wouldn't bother during midweek in the winter and early spring. Access to the campground is only from the east side of the monument on Hwy 146, off of Hwy 25. Hwy 25 is a nice alternative to I-5 or Hwy 101 and we often use it as a crossover between I-5 and 101. It is a country road, but very negotiable for large rigs. Because of the curves speed is 25-35mph, but it takes you through cattle and horse ranching areas, vineyards and agriculture, and is green in the winter and spring. If you have the time, it is well worth the diversion. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a picturesque naturalist oriented park that can accommodate about 30 30+ foot RV's with 30A power. Has unique circular parking arrangement with electric only at each site. You can fill potable water at office. Office and general store has limited hours. Dump available. Lots of wildlife wandering through park. I have been here during Summer and the Park Rangers give great evening talks by firelight. Very quiet. Seasonal pool. I like this park, but can understand why others wouldn't. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is now part of Pinnacle National Monument and accordingly offers a 50% discount with Golden Age Passport. Nightly rate with electrical starts at $25 for two people and goes to $40 for 6 people, the maximum number of people allowed in one site. Water and dump available but only electrical at sites, side by side. There are three loops with electrical with 12 sites in each loop. Each loop has a central picnic table area and fire ring area, four of each. Several old rigs in Loops 92 and 93 that appeared to have been there for some time and unoccupied. Paved road to sites but dirt at sites. There is a pool. We checked the place out as a possible destination to take our grandkids for a few day. No cell phone service. Self-registration in process when we made our visit. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This camp ground is next to Pinnacles National Park. The park is known for its condors breeding ground and rock climbing. The camp ground is rather rustic. The camp sites are arranged in a big circle, you set up like spokes of a wheel. Electric is at your rig, water is shared by a central spigot in the middle of the 'wheel'. There are three of these wheels. The camp ground manager is not the nicest person in the world. She is right, you are wrong even when you can prove that you are right. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice park if you like being out in the country. Very quiet, nice staff, big clean pool. Closest town with amenities is Hollister, a bit of a drive. But, if you want a peaceful, outdoor stay with plenty of wildlife to watch, stay here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

If you like nature and lots of critters, this is the place, quiet and two pools, a spa and a very helpful and friendly staff. The Manager is into improving maintenance and the park is located in a very historical, quiet area with Bobcats, Deer, Coyotes, tons of Quail and lots of other birds. It is the nicest 1000 Trails central CA location! Not only do they have a fully functional store but the food at the main lodge is excellent and fun! We camped here in a Motorhome.

TTN Preserve, clean and well maintained, lots of traffic, close enough to things to do to keep you busy. Pinnacles National Monument is a must do from this Preserve. TTN Preserves can be found in some of the most out of the way places, but close enough: not inconvenient. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a very nice preserve in the San Benito Valley. The Pinnacles National Monument and numerous wineries are in the area so there were many things to occupy our time. With over 500 sites, it is one of the larger preserves, most of the sites have full hookups and are reasonably level. There are two pools, a country store and two lodge facilities, all of which are in very good condition. The Verizon cell phone and air card signals are quite good and many of the sites are satellite friendly. The paved roads are good and the gravel roads among the sites are not bad. On the downside, the area is very dry, so many of the huge older trees look to be in distress and the grass/weeds are difficult to control. The staff is working to control them but they do not have the large equipment to do the job properly. We enjoyed our stay here and will certainly return in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We really enjoyed our stay here! Of the Seven Thousand Trails we have been to this is our second favorite. The all you can eat Spaghetti diner was a bargain and was pretty darn good! We got a site under a HUGE oak tree. We called it our Sequioa Oak. It was magnificent. When we arrived four or five deer greeted us. That was pretty cool. Satellite worked great, AT&T not so good, but Sprint was fine. It seemed that everyday, everywhere we looked there were workers busy improving the place. More then I have seen at other TT's! I will be back! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We really did not care for this campground very much. As others have said, it seems to have a lot of potential if Thousand Trails would give it more attention. The staff was very nice, both at gate, and the store. The full hookups all worked as expected. But this place is really out there! It is very far to the nearest town. We left early because the place just seemed kind of icky. For one thing, our ATT cell phones did not work here. 2 of our kids' bikes got flats from all the puncture vine weeds that are all over. Half of the trees looked dead, & the other half (not evergreens) left leaves that had not been raked up in months. Most sites were closer together than most other Thousand Trails parks we've been to. They no longer offer horse riding. And just overall this park seemed to lack any character. We were here at the end of December 2008/January 2009, so maybe it looks better in the spring or summer. We did enjoy the Pinnacles which was about 40 min south of the Thousand Trails park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This Thousand Trails Preserve has a lot of potential but they really need some maintenance regarding the electrical service. Many sites are marked "no electric service" due to damage to the buried electric lines from the ground squirrels. We have been coming here for three years and have yet to see any repairs. It is a very quiet area and not too crowded. All the park personal are very friendly and helpful. The only cell phone service is Verizon. Roof mounted satellite reception is great. In the fall there are lots of leaves from the very large sycamores. We will continue to come here but will also keep sending messages to Thousand Trails management about the need of maintenance. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Spacious campsites, many shaded by huge trees. Well kept grounds. There were hundreds of RVs there for July 4th weekend, but it didn't feel crowded. This is a very clean, well cared-for members-only park with a well stocked store, family lodge with game rooms, ping-pong, putt-putt golf, shuffleboard, adult lodge with pool tables and a few exercise machines, weekend activities for kids, craft classes for kids, etc. Lots of beautiful trees. Very friendly and courteous campers. Nice and quiet at night. The park has a guarded gate and we felt safe enough to let our young kid bike around. People drive at 5 mph. Cellular service info: Verizon service only; good reception at the family lodge; very weak Verizon signal in Section I; better reception in Section C. Free Wi-Fi access at the family lodge, Wi-Fi at the campsite for a fee. It gets hot here in the summer (mid-80's to low 90's), but there is a fresh wind of 10-15 mph and many well shaded sites. Or pick one without trees if you want easy aiming of your TV satellite dish. The only con we noticed was that it can get a bit dusty here, so pick a campsite that's upwind of the dustiest roads. It's out in the middle of nowhere, with few restaurants nearby, so plan on cooking your own food. However, on most Saturdays and holidays they offer good, hearty and cheap breakfasts for a couple of bucks. Also burgers and hot dogs at lunch time on Saturdays. Ice cream socials are fun for the kids and adults too. We enjoyed our 4 day stay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here for 3 weeks for nothing as it was a TT pk and had wonderful end site next to clubhouse. Clubhouse was nice however the one pool next to it was not open when we arrived and had to drive to the one that was open. In the 3 wks the other pool did open up for Memorial Day. They had a nice turnout for the Holiday dinner and band. You have to drive out for ATT Cell service and we had to use our Wilson antenna for laptop service. Groceries area a way to go for also. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
