Pineknot

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.

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

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.

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.

Needed a spot for car camping at the last minute and Pine Knot came through. Spacious pad, clean bathrooms, bear boxes. Will be back next season.

Beautiful fall colors with lots of oak trees the last weekend of October. A bit crowded but lovely. Good access to nearby bike trails. Shawn (Sean?) the host was very helpful, accommodating and friendly.

campground was well maintained and clean...Shane does an excellent job as camp host. although the campground was full, with lots of families, everyone was respectful of quiet hours. close to amenities, yet felt fairly secluded. we spent our mornings and evenings relaxing at the campsite, and our days hiking all the beautiful trails nearby. with all the beautiful trees surrounding the campground, it made our late autumn tent camping trip even better - tons of leaf peeping ( :

love all the big trees

Camp host was super friendly and helpful. The area is beautiful and the temperature is perfect at that altitude. Sites are a little tight for a larger rv or travel trailer. The campground is on the site of the mountain so understandable how the layout is. Great campground!
