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.

We stayed here summer 2019, the weather was gorgeous. There are plenty of trees for shade and there was a beautiful breeze. We didn’t even have to use our canopy. Spot 21 was perfect for our tent and very spacious.

Love this campground!!! Only thing that keeps the rating from 5 stars is fact the tables, grills, and tent spots are not level in every site. Hosts keep the campground spotless, extremely dog friendly, and sooo close to Snow Summit.

Enjoyed my stay at Pineknot campground at Big Bear CA. The online reservation process was easy and helpful... appreciated the campground map to help pick a site and the see what was available. The camp hosts were very helpful and supportive during my 4 night stay, and access to town within a half mile is very helpful for us "older campers."

Pine Knot is a great campground in the ideal spot. It is less than 1/2 mi to hiking trails and the mountain biking at Snow Summit Ski Lodge. It is less than 2 mi to the village and about 3 mi to the North Shore. The greatest plus is that the Campground Hosts are incredible people and work very hard to keep the campground and restrooms very clean. A great bargain with a great environment.
