Easy car camping. Clean. Close to town so can bring minimal or up to the kitchen sink camp set up. Most sites have shade. All include bear box, picnic table, fire pit, and charcoal bbq. Potable water. No showers so bring your own.

Great campground, great price. We booked our stay online and I only wish the photos were a bit better. We stayed at site 36 and it was all on a slope. But other that that it was super well managed.

Site specific. Not a lot of space in ours. Slight uphill slant with one of our tents. Rangers were nice, delivered the firewood we needed. Lost bikers gong through our site was annoying. Next door to the summit, so check their event schedules.

The campsite was clean and well kept. Restroom and dumpsites could have been a bit better in terms of cleanliness.

Angie was the friendliest Host I have ever experienced with the many times I have camped in the past. She always said hi and checked in once in a while to see how we where doing. You can tell she enjoys her job at Pineknot campground. Thank you Angie!!!!!

There shouldn’t be campfires allowed when the ground is so dry. The campsites are close together and the smoked filled our sleeping area nightly.
