We stayed at site #20. Close to restroom, but also a lot of evening noise from some unsupervised teenagers who seemed to go back and forth several times. Really close to the MTB park. Would LOVE a shower, but getting to Serrano to take one wasn't too difficult. Convenient to get to town and other activities.

I purchased 2 campsites in pineknott campsites 04 and 05. I ended up using only 1 campsite. 04 a camper and son asked the host if there were any sites available they said no I offered my 2nd one up was told I can't do it. I kid you not 10 minutes later a different vehicle parked in my already paid for site and was validated by the camp hosts so they double booked a reserved campsite I paid for 6 months in advance I wasn't given a refund nor did I give permission to these new individuals to use my paid for camp site after I was told I can't do that by the camp host. I don't know how to say it other then theft by pineknott I will never return to pineknott campsites as I have a terrible taste in my mouth becuase of said incident I have posted it on posts on social media and online.

We love this campground! It felt very private because of the trees, you can hear birds in the morning and coyotes at night. The restrooms were acceptable, not too clean but still very usable and not nausea inducing haha. We can't wait to be back.

Very nice and clean campground. It was hot in June and my spot was in the full sun until mid afternoon. Host was nice and helpful. Only negative for me was it’s right next to town and condos. Would not pick this campground again just because of this but may be convenient for others.

It was quiet in our location. There was enough shade and a breeze, so it was pleasant. There was a coyote that walked by adjacent to our campsite during the day with no problem. The camp host was nice and helpful.

Pineknot is shady, quiet, well organized, and clean. The host is responsive when checking you in and offers firewood for purchase. We car camped and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
