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.

This was a great spot but ur neighbors are not the friendliest. We did go to big bear lake where we rented a boat for $150/hr. Not much to see but it was cool. The campsite itself though was great and the staff keep it very clean including the bathrooms just bring your own hand soap.

Coyotes (you hear them at night!) and No bears in October it was too cold for them. There is bike trail and tons of hikes near the campsite.

The site is very well kept and the site host is very friendly. We have been two times now and had a very nice time.

Seann was our ranger and was so on top of cleaning all the facilities and making the grounds look really great. Such a cute campsite close to town which was perfect for what we were looking for!

The Site was actually really beautiful. I stayed there Oct 21,22,23 and had sites 36 and 38. I will say the best part of the site is the proximity of the bathroom. Because site 36 and 38 are on the edge of the loop it almost feels like the bathroom is private. The only reason I knocked a star was because in the photos these two sites seem pretty flat however when I got there it was pretty sloped and so if you have a bigger tent just know you will be sliding when you sleep at night. Other than the sloping everything was great. Great proximity to the Village and there's a 7-11 close by if you need anything else. You can purchase firewood from the Ranger that drives around in his golf cart you can also find where he's staying on the sign coming into the site. I could definitely come here again maybe in late Sept or early October.. It got pretty cold the last night I was there it dropped to 30 degrees with some rain.

Very nice location, isolated yet very close to town if you need anything.

Beautiful campground in town but as soon as you pull in you have the feel that you’re miles from civilization. Spacing between sites was generous and the restrooms were clean. Enjoyed our stay.

Nice campground! Our site (42) had three different places to set up a tent, a fire ring and a grill. The fire ring had a fixed grill over it, so plan on bringing something that can cook in the fire or your own grate. There's a trail that goes right into town. The first half was used by mountain bikers but the second half was just hikers.

This is our second time staying here. On our first trip, we stayed in spot #45. Great spot up on a little hill and is considered one of the best at Pineknot due to the privacy. However, this time around, we decided to stay in spot #19. We loved it and in our opinion, is even better than #45. This is our #1 spot now. Super private and is down a little hill. The tent location is a little past the campfire and eating area, which was nice. Plus being next to the restrooms was a big plus. Lots of trees and nature and you don't hear any neighbors. On the downside, I am shocked the restrooms do not have seat covers. Really??? I sucks having to lay out toilet paper on the seats just to sit. Come on guys, get some toilet seat covers. Additionally, the water pressure for the sink in the womens restroom was very low. The mens room had plenty of pressure. Might want to look into that.
Other than that, we love this place. Looking forward to camping here again next year.
