A good campground surrounded in trees, but not too far from home. The only downside was that I could not find any level ground at my particular site. The slant was so steep I ended up moving my tent to the pavement in front of my car. But it was very peaceful, and tranquil. The entrance was a little confusing being tucked behind a ski resort; and the campground is right up against an apartment complex, but I didn't really notice them from my site. It was dark with tons of stars at night, and quiet.

By far the most beautiful campgrounds in Big Bear. Conveniently located near the summit lodge so, there is no need to hassle with finding parking. The spots are very spacious providing room to spread out. A gold star to the Camp Hosts! They are so friendly and work so hard and do a great job of keeping the grounds exceptionally clean. We can't wait to book our next trip. Thank you Pine Knot for a great stay, see you soon! :)

Restrooms were clean, good location not too far from town and close to lots of trails. Can be a little louder then some national park campgrounds. We have a class B so size wasnt a problem for us but something you better check if you have a large rig.

Stayed at site 18. Super close to bathrooms and water, and rather close to your friends at site 20 I believe. But other then that, amazing campground, amazing host and it is super clean and absolutely beautiful!!!
