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.

Fantastic campground! The campground was spotless & well maintained. We had site 39 and it was exactly what we needed, shady, somewhat secluded (further from the road than most sites) close enough to the restrooms etc. Also worth noting that the camp host was SO helpful and friendly, we would really like to thank him for his willingness to go above and beyond any time we had questions! We will be back.

All the joys of camping next to the convenience of town! The campground is beautiful—full of big trees, with a view of the opposite ridge of mountains. And yet you can walk to restaurants, convenience stores, etc. in 15 minutes or so. We enjoyed exploring the town of Big Bear Lake and going fishing and hiking. We even drove a few minutes to a nearby water slide park and spent a few hours there. This campground is good if you have kids and/or feel iffy about being too far away from things like cell reception, urgent care, or stores.

Very nice and well organized camping area.
Location is absolutely excellent right next to snow summit, a few minutes drive from downtown Big Bear but yet in the middle of the woods. Beautiful area! Totally worth it! Kids loved it! We will come back!

The camphost Sean, is always fantastic. Always there to greet you, remembers you from past visits, and always maintains Pineknot. The sites are always raked, clean, and ready for the family. Stellar. Thanks Sean!

Host Sean (sp?) is great. Did some card tricks for the kids. Clean, actually a nice quiet weekend (not the occasional loud party.
