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.

It was great except for the crying and screaming kids nearby. Even as late as 9:30-10:00pm. Some parents just don't make their kids behave at all. Otherwise it was a very nice campsite in the pine trees with lotsa biking trails nearby. Maybe I'll come back but will likely look for dispersed camping nearby.

The campground it's great! Nestled right behind snow summit. The whole campground is well kept, and the bathrooms are super clean. The camp host was courteous and friendly.

This is a lovely campground! the camp host was very personable and the camp sites are nice and big. the parking spaces are a bit tight, if you are pulling a rig or in a motorhome. it took some serious maneuvering to get our 24' Toy hauler in, and then we had to park separately as both the trailer and vehicle wouldn't fit into one space. however please don't let this detour you from this amazing location - full of beautiful trees!!
one comment on the website - it doesn't have a good map on showing which sites are next to each other. we booked site 5 & 6 because they appear next to each other online but in reality they are across from each other and we should've picked site 4 & 5. but really all the sites are so nice that we came home from our trip in August and immediately booked another trip in October. its a really nice walk through the campground, so grab your camp map, and mark the spots you like best :)
