Pineknot Campground offers a beautiful, well-maintained setting with friendly hosts, making it an enjoyable experience for many campers. The sites are clean, spacious, and mostly shaded, with convenient access to nearby attractions and hiking trails. While there are minor concerns such as noise from neighboring sites and the absence of showers, overall, visitors appreciate the campground's cleanliness, management, and friendly atmosphere.
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.
Ariel, the new camp host is extremely welcoming, helpful, friendly, and keeps the campsite clean. I camped, the campground was quiet. Bathroom access is always easy. This campsite does not have established showers, so I bring my own. Overall, I always have a great experience with Pineknot campground in San Bernardino.
very nice campground, loved the tall trees and overall quiet atmosphere. The hosts were very welcoming and nice. Bathrooms are clean. The site we had was sloped which was the only downside, will try another site next time.

From I-10 in Redlands, take Highway 330 to Highway 18 in Running Springs. Continue east on Highway 18 at Big Bear Lake Dam, go straight at the dam and follow Highway 18. Turn onto Summit Boulevard and continue to a block wall. Turn left into the campground.
Pineknot is located near State Route 38, which provides access to the greater highway network. It is approximately 10 miles from Interstate 10 to the south.
In accordance with standard industry practices, Mountain Top Recreation will be assessing a $8 additional vehicle fee on the second vehicle in each single family campsite, and on the third and fourth vehicles in any double family campsite, provided these vehicles are not joined to the first vehicle by a hitch and towed onto the site. In the case of motorcycles, the first two are considered to be one vehicle and the third and fourth are also considered to be one vehicle. No additional vehicle fees are collected for bicycles. The fee will be collected at the Campground.
RV Length: Limited turnaround space restricts RVS longer than 25 feet.
