Pinnacles Campground, Stores and Picnic Grove“You're approaching the entrance to Pinnacles Campground, with two useful stores nearby. The Campground Store sells basic food and camping supplies; think picnic top-up rather than a full meal.”

Guide
The East Pinnacles Park Store is the east-side bookstore and souvenir shop inside Pinnacles Campground, about two miles down East Entrance Road. Stop for a Pinnacles book, a game or park keepsake, or a National Park Passport stamp. Western National Parks Association, a private nonprofit, operates the shop.
The shelves include books for adults and children, games and official park souvenirs. Water and flashlights are sold as safety essentials too. The campground’s separate Campground Store is nearby; this is the park-focused bookstore and souvenir shop.
