This is a fantastic campground. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is the lack of a shower. We will be back for sure!

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.

The sites are large, quiet, & well maintained. The camp hosts are very engaged, helpful & readily available. Great experience for all types of campers: pros, first-timers, tents & RVs. I’ll be back!!

The campground is behind a very large and loud amphitheatre that frequently has competitions and races. It doesn't feel like your camping because you can see it right next to you and it is so loud you can barely hear eachother. Call the next door venue to ensure nothing will be going on. It was so bad we didn't stay but drove 3 hours back home.

Pine Knot is a gem of a campground. It's peaceful and has lots of trees. The grounds are very well-taken care of and the location is convenient to stores and activities.

Camp hosts were top notch, 5 Stars. Campground was clean, bathrooms were clean and had TP. Wish they were open year round. We will definitely be back.

The campsite was really nice. It had a little gully that might have posed problems in the rain. No showers. But there are faucets.

I LOVE this place! Only about 45 sites and very clean! The hosts will even deliver firewood each evening They enforce the quiet time rules and the restrooms are attended to 2-3 times a day. It is very close to any store in case you forget something and also close to just about any kind of restaurants if you don't feel like cooking. Even though you are close to town, once you are nestled in your site within the pines, the only noise you hear from town is the occasional police or fire siren.
