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 stayed at site 33 which was very spacious with level ground. The campground was completely full. Everyone was very nice and friendly. People respected quiet hours too. The host was nearby and a pleasure to speak with. Toilets were clean with good water pressure. The Village and several popular cafes were closeby. Our boys really enjoyed the camping experience. Will definitely be back!

I really enjoyed this campground. It is pretty secluded, but not too far from Big Bear village.

Peaceful spot, clean restrooms. Spots can be a bit uneven but hardly a knock on the place.

Excellent campground that feels remote but is in the middle of everything. Lots of trees and good facilities. MUCH cozier and more private than Serano Campground across the lake.

Great campsite kinda limited on tent placement but our large tent still fit, trees in this site provide almost all day shade, good in summer I’m sure but in winter this site get COLD and If your like me and use solar your gonna need to improvise. Since your right at the entrance to the campground you get a lot of attention and in our experience a lot of people acting like your site is a walk way from the dirt road up to the campground. Well maintained bathrooms no complaints close to town.

One of the best campgrounds we have been to using a tent! Plenty of room between campsites, lots of shade, convenient restrooms, and a great location!
