We traveled 5 weeks and Pineknot is in the top 3 campgrounds we experienced. Camp Hosts Shawn and Charlotte were friendly and professional. Lots of mountain biking trails begin right outside the camp. Great singletracks with amazing views (there is some elevation gain required to get the best views). We are coming back next year for a much longer stay.

Great site! Super close to everything you need but still feel like you’re camping. You’re on the grid with cell service, if that’s what you’re looking for. Our campsite was on a bit of a hill, but not too bad. The camp host Sean is super chill and kind.

The grounds were very clean. The camp host (seann) was extraordinary. He is very enthusiastic and constantly working to keep everything in order.

Campsites 001-007 have a main road directly behind the site; be aware, cars, pedestrians, and cyclists travel frequently on this road. Also, there are condos directly behind sites 001-005, and you can literally look into their dining rooms, so they can probably see your entire site.

PEOPLE WERE BREAKING INTO CARS AT NIGHT WHILE THE CAMPGROUND WAS ASLEEP!
We stayed at pineknot the first weekend it opened for the season. At 2am we heard our car door beep open. My fiance got up to look and saw two people by our car. One was looking directly at our tent (as a lookout) and the other was trying to open our car door. My fiance quickly locked the door with his keys but the person beeped it back open! They must of had some kind of fob to open car doors. We set off the car alarm to scare them off but they left for a moment and came back. We called 911 from our tent and the cops drove around the entire campground with search lights. We knocked on the camp host's door but he wasn't there.
The campground was fully booked and all afternoon and early evening we noticed car alarms were going off. I'm unsure if the thieves were campers or not but when we purposely set off our car alarm, to scare away the thieves, I bet most people probably chalked it up to another accidental car alarm.
Be careful. They were very quiet and were able to unlock our car door. I don't know if people are getting more desperate with the pandemic but these people were bold considering we were sleeping 50ft away in our tent in a fully booked campsite. If they were successful in breaking into cars and stealing, on the first weekend of the camping season, I have no doubt they will do it again.
