Camp ground, camp spot, and bathroom was clean and well maintained

It is a nice campground with the campsites spread out. It needs a better sign to find the campground as you enter the parking lot for Snow Summit Ski Resort. There are a lot of things to do in the area including mountain bike riding, hiking, going out on the lake either to kayak or go for a cruise, take a ski lift up to the top of the mountain and check out the Village in Town.

@WilliamJ242827 · Camped on Aug 17, 2025 at Campsite #19

I have 2 complaints. First, the access road to the camp was extremely difficult to find because of some construction that was going on, probably associated with the adjacent ski area. There was only a small cardboard temporary sign attached to a street sign post to mark the way to the campground, and it was easily overlooked - which I did on my first attempt to find the campground. I had camped there before a few years ago and so knew about where the camp was, but I still had trouble finding it. The second issue was the restroom closest to me campsite - the men's restroom was closed for the repair the whole 2 days I was camping, so I had to walk to the next closest restroom which was not all that close. Other than that, my campsite was fine and I found the campground quiet and conducive to relaxation, which is why I was there.

Friendly Host and staff, clean camp sites.

This is one of my favorite campgrounds if I need a mixed outdoor-small town location. I bring two kids and two big dogs with me and so having a great campground at a lake is a must, but it is also convenient being within a charming small lake town where we can grab extra water and maybe an ice cream. The sites are clean, accessible, well-spaced, and beautiful. There are a mix of sites, with sun or shade, close to the road and bathrooms or not, and the camp host is awesome. You can purchase firewood there and it is cheaper and safer. Great experience, as always.

@JohnnyP9C3118F · Camped on Aug 5, 2025 at Campsite #39

Site 39 was great! A little away from neighbors and some shade. We brought our little ones hear for 2 nights and they had a great time exploring around the site. Very close to Summit Avenue if you make a left from the entrance of the campgrounds, while you are leaving, as opposed to the maps directed you to turn right and take the long route.

@TaylorG4E4E375 · Camped on Aug 5, 2025 at Campsite #1

The location was perfect, clean and central to everything. Anthony was so amazing! Very informative and helpful to make our experience a great one!

Third time staying at Pine Knotreally nice location, not overcrowded and hosts are always welcoming and helpful.Will return again.

@BenjaminP64293 · Camped on Jul 27, 2025 at Campsite #46

Awesome camp ground. Some camp sites are Amazing , some feel cramped but all spots and locations were nice.

@JohanN674B9EBC · Camped on Jul 25, 2025 at Campsite #7

Great camp site! Very quiet, we had no issues with neighbors being noisy. There is a small road behind our sites (7 through 11) but very few cars went by so we hardly noticed. A good number of mountain bikers passing through quickly, but far enough away and quiet enough where it didn't bother us. Sites themselves were great. Slightly uneven, a few slopes and rocky places, but manageable for everybody including the 75 year olds and 3 year olds. Sites were super shady, no need to bring any canopies or extra shade. Hosts were great, delivered and sold us fire wood, kept bathrooms clean although toilet paper did run out at night. Bring a roll to be safe! Trash cans very close by, restrooms well-spaced so they're not far from any sites, easy in and out. Lake is just 5 minutes away, we rented pontoon boats at the Pine Knot marina for site seeing and a little fishing. Supermarkets and fast food within 5 minutes as well so you won't be lacking anything. Overall we had a great weekend and will be back!

@KimberlyH57940 · Camped on Jul 23, 2025 at Campsite #13

Perfect location, close to everything you need but tucked back enough to feel isolated. Our family loves this spot and consider it our first choice and favorite!

@DonaldM3739134 · Camped on Jul 18, 2025 at Campsite #12

Nice site, cool weather, good experience, will be back.

@SusanW3089432 · Camped on Jul 17, 2025 at Campsite #33

@Christine30365 · Camped on Jul 7, 2025 at Campsite #30

Beautiful campground and convenient location. Site 30 was big enough for 3 tents and trees for our hammocks. The camp host was so nice and attentive.

@JohnK6536193 · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #30

Beautiful campsite. Good facilities. Camp was full but didn't feel too crowded.

@MichelleG91209 · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #6

Very peaceful, clean, lots of shade we lived this campground, just no showers

@CatarinaNA5839 · Camped on Jul 2, 2025 at Campsite #45

Loved it BUT there was a family of coyotes at the top of my site (45). Luckily my 22lb dog was alright I didnt leave her out of my site but I definitely heard the coyote pups and saw two big adult coyotes.

@KarenF9576130 · Camped on Jun 30, 2025 at Campsite #39

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
