Sweetwater Campground

Ain’t no water in SWEETWATER unless you bring your own. Toilets are vault toilets so remember to close the lid when you’re don’t to stop flies and funk. Apply for a permit if you wanna have a fire when you’re actually allowed to have a fire. Just make sure you apply before you leave cell service as it’s quite a drive to get reception.

Pretty well kept place. The camp sites are pretty large, each with a picnic table which is covered. Easy to get to, no big vehicles needed. Can get to this place in a sedan. There is a vault toilet available which was pretty clean for a vault toilet. The sites are spaced out so you are not too close to each other. It is a first come first served location. But for FREE it is worth the drive. Lots of hiking trails nearby, and maps are provided on-site at the info station by the toilet. This is a good little spot.

The drive to get to the campground is long and winding but the road is paved although a little rough. We got there around 1:30pm on a Friday in June and we had the whole place to ourselves! From what I could tell, there’s about 8 spots. After the sun went down around 8pm there were 3 others who showed up. Like another reviewer said, I felt lucky to get a spot, this is such a great campground. Absolutely no cell service so don’t expect to get work done. Did not use the toilets so I can’t comment, but they are there.

Probably the prettiest free campground I've ever been too. They have pit toilets in a really nice building. They have lots of campsites but there was only one other person there when I rolled in late. Close to pinnacles np. They have a donation location so I donated cause it was so nice. Each spot has room for at least two or three cars, a picnic table and a shelter and a fire ring. I wouldn't start a fire here cause I literally drove through a wildfire on my way like 50 miles away and there were so many trucks and planes trying to put it out.

6 available spots, no hook ups, vault toilet and quiet. 28 miles from Pinnacles NP east entrance. Mostly car campers but can accommodate RVs
