Great campsite, has everything you need! Nice and quiet but still close enough to town if you need anything. Can't wait to go back when its cooler!

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.

very loud. People singing ( Opera ) loud enough for entire campground to hear till after midnight. (entire campground... no kidding)
then another person splitting wood with a sledge hammer and wedge till 12:30 am Friday night and till 11 pm Saturday night.
No flat areas for tents. Sites not well defined. confusion with neighbors . Bathrooms where clean. Close to town.

I camped during the week in site 02. I was surprised how quiet the site was given it’s location. Restrooms were clean. Camp hosts were friendly. I’ll come back here during the week.

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.

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.

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.
