The camp was fine, but it was infested with yellow jackets. We had to stay in the tent most of the time, which was a huge bummer. I would not recommend that campground until the yellow jacket problem has been resolved.

Campsite was remote and very comfortable. Reyes Peak Trail Head just a mile or so up the road. Things to be aware of though, the Pine Mountain Ridge Road is narrow, so take is slow - 15 mph. The campground only has one vault toilet (long droppers as we call them) and needed to be cleaned out. Luckily we brought our own facility. Not the campgrounds fault, but on Saturday morning the wind shifted and a heavy layer of smoke blew in from the Sequoia / Kings Canyon complex fire so we left Saturday mid-day.

Beautiful campground. Campsites are pretty big and spaced between. No water, bring plenty. Restroom is pretty small, but a restroom nonetheless. I would avoid site #6 as it has a broken bench seat. We saw some birds and deer around the campground. Up the road about 10 minutes of a drive (passing Reyes peak campground) leads you to Reyes peak hike. Extremely beautiful hiking through all the pines. Moderate hike, bring water. And there’s a restroom vault at the beginning of the hike. 10/10 would definitely recommend Pine Mountain Campground:)

Nice small campground that's kept up nicely. Easy walkable access to a short trail right above Site #1. Walk another 10 minutes down and you'll come to a rock face that has unbelievable views of the entire Los Padres Forest. DO make sure that you call ahead about fires because the rules are always changing. Highly recommend this spot.

Great hosts. Could be a bit more flexible if you happen to be short a few $$, not everyone is trying to skim the system, luckily the offline card reader worked.

Spacious, stable picnic table, appreciate the fire pit and grill. The restroom is dated, needs to be updated.
@LarryT515 · Camped on Jun 30, 2020 at Campsite #5
I would have given it 5 stars, but the pit toilet is really, really old and the wood is starting to rot. It should be replace with a modern one.
The campground is really beautiful, perfect balance between sunlight and shade.
