Pineknot

Great site, very big!

Great spot if you are biking snow summit. Clean bathrooms. The middle spots back up next to each other and might feel a little crowded but the edge sites are great.

I stayed here to relax and unwind and my neighbors and their children in the site next to me put their tents on my site and were throwing rocks at my tent, screaming, and playing music until 1 a.m. I had to stay at a motel just to get some sleep and feel safe. I will never return to this campsite again. Although Camp Host was very nice

Excellent place to stay, close to town and close to hiking and lake activities. Note that the bear lockers are much smaller than the normal forest service lockers, so plan accordingly.

I was there for 4 days/3 nights. The actual site I was at was just as pictured. Had plenty of scattered shade throughout the day and a clear view of the sky at night. Two things though:
The woman’s bathroom was completely closed during my entire stay. No problem, I’ll just use the men’s instead but the sink wasn’t working in there. It was ok having to use the men’s during the day, but at night and early in the morning it was very uncomfortable.
The second thing was tar splatters on the stairs to the restroom. I initially didn’t see it because it was at night. The next morning my dog was constantly licking his paw and is when I found tar on paw. I noticed after a bathroom trip in the morning where that tar had come from. I had to carefully cut his fur between the pads of his toes and use oil to try and clean it off of his padding. It took 4 days before it completely wore off.

Great campground for riding bikes at Snow summit. You are at the base of the lifts. The middle camp sites seem a bit crowded as they back up to each other but the perimeter sites are nice. Lots of shade. Clean bathrooms.

Great campground, clean restrooms, great camp hosts, awesome and beautiful place. Word of caution, if you buy firewood from Stator brothers nearby, the wood we got was not seasoned and smoked/soldered and was not great to burn.

I've been camping at Pine Knot each summer for years and love it.

Beautiful campground that is close to town, but still feels like your away in the woods. Camp sites are well spaced apart. Camp hosts were very friendly and welcoming, they even delivered our firewood to our site. Restrooms were clean, but could use some updating.

Our campsite was clean and beautiful. We were very close to restrooms and a water supply. Being so close to big bear city was a plus also to allow us to escape the heat during the day and visit some local stores.
