Excellent Campground near town, but quite expensive. Restroom definitely needs an update.

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.

Another wonderful time at Pineknot. Our site was clean and manicured. Driveway had a slight slope so needed to raise the trailer a bit. The camp host Shawn was outstanding. My newly exchanged propane tank was not working and he swapped his out with mine. He also helped back in a trailer for our neighbor that couldnt do it himself. He was friendly with everyone and kept the restrooms clean. The only issue we had was the amount of snow summitt mtn. Bikers blocking the entrance to pineknot. It was difficult manuvering around them a couple of times. All of these years coming up to pineknot and first time having that issue.

The Camp Host Shawn was great, the campsites were immaculate, and we loved the location and layout of the camp. Perfect for our weekend trip up to Snow Summit. Thank you!

Great campground, close to town and hiking. The camp hosts are always great and tell you whats happening in the area like if there have been any recent bears or coyotes. Go every year

This campground is great because of its proximity to snow summit and the shade offered by the large trees. The spot we had could use some better leveling for tent camping but it wasn't a huge deal.

The site was great the only detail i didnt like. The spot from car to your site is on an uphill. So its a hassle up load and upload your equipment on and off the vehicle. Also i wish you could call the actual site. Instead theres a customer service number that they rarely pick up the phone and the same person answers .

Beautiful campground! We did have coyotes in our campsite so be careful if traveling with dogs. Clean bathrooms and friendly camp hosts.

Beautiful campground, perfect weather during heat wave in valley below AND the friendliest campground host (Sean) I’ve ever met. Kept grandkids entertained (and me too) with his magic tricks and balloon figures. Definitely will return
