The host was absolutely amazing. Helped me out a lot. My slot was absolutely humongous. I enjoyed every minute of it definitely would be back.

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.

3 day/2 night stay mon-wed in August. Less than half of the campgrounds were occupied. Well shaded. Plenty of potable water spigots throughout and bathrooms were clean. The campground is built into a hill so many of the sites have a slight hill from your car to the main part of the site, but the sites themselves are level. Overall happy with Pineknot and would camp here again.

Pineknot Campground sits at the base of Snow Summit and makes for a great mountain getaway. It is so peaceful and well maintained.
There are no showers here, but the clean restrooms with running water make camping a little easier. Loved all the shade from the trees and the fire pit and grill at all the campsites.
One of the best parts of this campground is how close it is to hiking and biking trails, you can head straight out from camp and be on an adventure in minutes.
Big Bear Lake and the village are just a short distance away, so there's plenty to do in the area. This is a well-kept campground with lots nearby, and bonus points for being dog friendly.

Nice campsites. Good location - you are in the woods but close to retail should you need it. Bathrooms are clean and decent. The chair lift is great!

A very nice, cozy camp site. If needed, you could walk to some nice dining options. Otherwise, a clean beautiful site to stay that I would recommend!

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.

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.
