Campground is right in town but offers a very outdoors experience. Sites are well spread out and there is plenty of privacy. Campground and restrooms were clean and well maintained. Host was also very nice and came to say hi and ask if I needed anything.

The campsite was great, but the urinals and toilets kept getting clogged and never got fixed during the duration of our stay.

Pineknot Camp Ground in Big Bear is wonderful.
Spaces are far enough apart.
Space #28 is a bit of a walk from parking spot to table.
Be ready

Wonderful campground. Pine trees everywhere. No level spot in my site for my tent. Clean bathrooms. Close proximity to mountain biking and the lake.

Really Enjoyed my weekend at Pine Knot campgrounds - I was within walking distance of Summit Resort. The Campgrounds are clean and the Camp Ranger was super friendly.

Pineknot is a geographically desirable location for my activities. Note the camp host is only one site this year during business hours, so if going to purchase firewood, be sure to catch them during the day. My sites are always raked and the fire pit and bbq clean. Bring a hand broom and tablecloth as the picnic tables tend to be a bit of a self effort. The bathrooms are managed well. If you want to shower, byob, as there is not a shower on site. Overall this is a car camp site with easy access to stores, restaurants, and activities.

Beautiful setting, close to town yet in a forest setting. Campsite 10 was huge, could have placed several tents. Camp host was most helpful and gracious, delivered firewood and gave great hiking trail advice. Plenty of shade

Some of the neighbors can be loud during the waking hours of the day, but everyone respected the quiet hours and I had no issues with my site.
