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.

We come here several times a year and have for the past several years. Always a great experience. Our new hosts, Gina and Anthony, are exceptional. Super friendly, helpful, campgrounds clean. Can't say enough about them. Looking forward to seeing them again next year.

Have stayed here many times and has always been a great experience. Only one time I was irritated because a camping group had 2 dogs that constantly barked all day long. Bathrooms are very clean and fully stocked. I just want to give a shout out to the short haired girl that works there (sorry I never got her name), she is always hard working and very friendly and remembered me from previous stays. She is awesome!!!! Campground close shopping if needed and not too far from lake.

We stayed at site 23 and it was perfect! The campground is beautiful and clean. Our site had a level spot for our tent, fire pit and grill. The campground has clean restrooms with flush toilets. Gina, the camp host was super friendly. The only con was the ability to purchase additional firewood in the evening if you run out. Just be sure to purchase some early in the day, otherwise you have to drive into town (only like a 3 min drive). Big Bear village was a nice spot to visit during the day. The campground was quiet and peaceful.

The host was very helpful. Wood can be bought on site, but bring exact cash. Trails nearby that arent on Alltrails. Very cold at night in October. So bring more blankets than you think you would need if in a tent. Bathrooms on site were very clean for a campsite

Site 29
Good site, we have a 10x13 tent and found a spot for it. Equally spaced between 2 restrooms, but not too close that you here them all night. Not too close to other sites. Lots of room to spread out and enjoy the pines and oaks. Nice Hosts. Clean bathrooms. This campground is tucked in behind some apartments and next to the ski resort. We didn't have any problems with noise or light from the apartments in our loop. During the afternoons there was some construction at the ski resort and had we been in the last loop that may have been bothersome, but we were there in October. Probably not a problem all year. Love how close it is to town. We visited the Big Bear Alpine zoo & Teddy Bear restraunt (cash only). The restraunt has a lovely patio & allows dogs. In October the overnight lows were in 40s, but day time temps were pleasant and mid to hight 70s.
