Pineknot

I always have a good time at this campsite. Make note that there are no showers so I bring my own. The bathrooms are usually very clean. You are still able to have a campfire in the provided rings. The bear boxes are very helpful as there is wildlife. The camp host usually has the site prepped and cleaned for Check in. Currently there is a interim camp host who leaves at 5 PM, so be sure to get your firewood prior to.

Really quiet peaceful camp site, close access to local businesses and the lake! Were able to walk down to the lake from the site
Beautiful park and friendly camp hosts.
Many clean bathrooms (no showers)

This campground is always great. A bit noisy/crowded but is an equivalent exchange for being adjacent to the mountain resort and Village. Village is walking distance along a wooded trail (Towne Trail) or by road. Good cell service and amenities. Camp hosts are friendly and sell firewood bundles they will bring to your campsite for $10 a bundle.

Our stay at Pineknot Campground was excellent. The campsites were wonderful, the bathrooms were clean, and the location within Big Bear is perfect!

Beautiful campground at the base of summit. Well maintained. Lots of potable water spigots. Clean bathrooms with stalls and flushable toilets. We’re going back to the same site next month!

We stayed at site #20. Close to restroom, but also a lot of evening noise from some unsupervised teenagers who seemed to go back and forth several times. Really close to the MTB park. Would LOVE a shower, but getting to Serrano to take one wasn't too difficult. Convenient to get to town and other activities.

The site was spotless when we arrived. The hosts take care of this campground well. Great location. Rv dumpnstation located at serrano campground if you need it.

We love this campground! It felt very private because of the trees, you can hear birds in the morning and coyotes at night. The restrooms were acceptable, not too clean but still very usable and not nausea inducing haha. We can't wait to be back.

I purchased 2 campsites in pineknott campsites 04 and 05. I ended up using only 1 campsite. 04 a camper and son asked the host if there were any sites available they said no I offered my 2nd one up was told I can't do it. I kid you not 10 minutes later a different vehicle parked in my already paid for site and was validated by the camp hosts so they double booked a reserved campsite I paid for 6 months in advance I wasn't given a refund nor did I give permission to these new individuals to use my paid for camp site after I was told I can't do that by the camp host. I don't know how to say it other then theft by pineknott I will never return to pineknott campsites as I have a terrible taste in my mouth becuase of said incident I have posted it on posts on social media and online.

Very nice and clean campground. It was hot in June and my spot was in the full sun until mid afternoon. Host was nice and helpful. Only negative for me was it’s right next to town and condos. Would not pick this campground again just because of this but may be convenient for others.
