Cute Area & Friendly Staff

I stayed in Pine Knot with my boyfriend & dog, we camped only for a day before moving on, but the area was easy to navigate and there were quite a few spots to choose from. There are lots of mountain bikers around up & down the mountain so you do have to be very careful. Lots of great views & hiking spots nearby and isn’t too far away from nearby stores & gas. I would recommend staying here even as a first time camper. I will be returning!

Solid location

Landed here on a Thursday night to kick the weekend in Bear off early. Spacious campsite, was on a hill though so not sure how great it would have been sleeping on the ground. Restrooms are clean, and reception was stellar if you’re the remote working type…

Great views and peaceful seclusion

Honestly for its proximity to town, you’d never know. We love Big Bear and usually spend several weekends a month up here but this was our first trip to Pine Knot. I camp exclusively with my pup, and we usually default to dispersed since we go to the mountains to get away from people. My original trepidation with the distance to town and houses even was immediately dispelled. We camped on site 003 on a fully booked weekend and had nothing but the sounds of nature to enjoy, it was absolutely lovely. For the amenities at the tip of your fingers it’s insanely well priced and the campsites are very well tended, loved and patrolled. Honestly we’ll definitely stay here again.

Amazing, one of my favorites

This campground is always clean, it is well maintained, the camposter very helpful, you can buy firewood, and there is a 7-Eleven just at the bottom of the street that sells firewood ice and pretty much anything else you would need. I love hearing the coyotes in the camp at night they really come right into the campgrounds and they're very loud. Some sites don't have very good areas to put a tent they're very uneven small and sometimes Rocky but there are quite a few sites that are good but I'd say overall void 20,21,22
