Pineknot

Nice little getaway. Clean camp sites with bear lockers. Which we didnt really need. Did see coyotes though. Didn't see or hear about any bears. Bathrooms clean and well stock, but only one stall per bathroom. Close to city but you dont hear traffic. Has bbq but brought my own, and fire pit. Has a camp host which does sell firewood. $8. Overall real nice place to stay. Went paddle boarding and kayaking at Caption Johns. Rode bikes and went on a night hike. Will be back.

Stayed here 2 years in a row now; it was a wonderful experience both times. Helpful host, well-kept facilities, and central location to town. Beautiful place to stay!

Lots of room & lots of shade!

We love this camp ground. Staff is typically very friendly. Campers are typically respectful of hours and noise. Very family friendly and dog friendly. So pretty and close to snow summit.

My favorite camping ground in summer

We choose site 42 for our pop up trailer. There was quite the slope from the trailer down to the fire pit/ tent landings/ picnic table. I couldn’t have asked for a better campground and site overall though. There were multiple spots on our site for tents. We had a very level spot for our pop up and the space for the fire pits and table where so Nice and shaded or sunny when expected. We were so close to everything “big bear” And walked to summit for some summer fun. We have two young kids and they also loved it. The camp host Sean was absolutely wonderful! He was fun, quirky, helpful, kind, and did some magic ticks for the kids!

What a great campground! Easy access to mountain biking and hiking trails, quiet in the evenings, lovely shade provided by trees, and fantastic staff who, if you catch them in the right mood, might just show you a few camp-side magic tricks!! Super good stay; can't wait to come back.

Pine knot generic review. It was good. It was cheap. It was easy to find.

The campground itself was great. Well kept, and the bathrooms (flush toilets) were very clean. The camp host, Sean, was very friendly. I didn’t hear any music playing from within the actual regular campground, which is a huge plus, because I absolutely hate when other campers play their music and ruin other people’s quiet camping experiences. However, there is either a group spot or another private camp site nearby, and they BLASTED music most of the day and we’ll into the night, and no one stopped them. And I truly mean BLASTED. It was insanely loud. I could hear it through my ear plugs. It completely ruined our experience, and we left early. I couldn’t find the camp host on our way out to ask if that’s a frequent issue. I’m not sure if we’ll return here. Some of the sites are great, but would not be worth it with that music.

Very friendly camp host. Clean bathrooms. Clean campground. Coyote pack runs close and puts on nightly sound affects.
