I'm planning a trip to the Pinnacles Campground and I would like to know if anyone has information about the cellphone coverage. I work from my trailer and I need a reasonable signal for my Mofi 5500-7411 Cellular modem and WiFi hotspot. I  have two sim cards to choose from. What is your experience with AT&T and Verizon?

Thanks,
- Mark

My iPhone with AT&T connects if you stand at the north end of the main parking lot and walk out of the paved area and onto the grass area above the lot to get more elevation.

There is WiFi from the camp host, $7/24h. It seems to cover decently the overflow lot, not sure about the rest.

I get flaky Verizon at the pinnacles visitor center parking lot (west entrance), although I suspect you’re asking about East…?

I was referring to Pinnacles West, not the east campground.

There are times when a cell signal is unwanted...like in Bora Bora:-)
