Campground was clean and bathrooms were maintained. The only negative was having coyotes come into camp each day/night. A little unnerving with small children playing.
Overall we had a good time there.

very nice campground, loved the tall trees and overall quiet atmosphere. The hosts were very welcoming and nice. Bathrooms are clean. The site we had was sloped which was the only downside, will try another site next time.

Ariel, the new camp host is extremely welcoming, helpful, friendly, and keeps the campsite clean. I camped, the campground was quiet. Bathroom access is always easy. This campsite does not have established showers, so I bring my own. Overall, I always have a great experience with Pineknot campground in San Bernardino.

Pineknot is shady, quiet, well organized, and clean. The host is responsive when checking you in and offers firewood for purchase. We car camped and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

It was quiet in our location. There was enough shade and a breeze, so it was pleasant. There was a coyote that walked by adjacent to our campsite during the day with no problem. The camp host was nice and helpful.

Very nice and clean campground. It was hot in June and my spot was in the full sun until mid afternoon. Host was nice and helpful. Only negative for me was it’s right next to town and condos. Would not pick this campground again just because of this but may be convenient for others.

We love this campground! It felt very private because of the trees, you can hear birds in the morning and coyotes at night. The restrooms were acceptable, not too clean but still very usable and not nausea inducing haha. We can't wait to be back.
