Camping in Pinnacles?

Hi, so basically I didn't prepare and could only reserve one night I needed in the Pinnacles campground. Are there any other walk in campgrounds or places to camp near the climbing on the east side?

Upper Sweetwater Recreation Area or Laguna Mountain Recreation Area are maybe 20 miles SE from the east entrance.

Talk to the folks at the campground store, they do all of the camp reservations. There are often sites that can be obtained that morning. However, get there before the store closes your first night and check because if a site is open for two nights they will move to it. You can also camp at the fairgrounds between Pinnacles and Hollister.
