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.

Pineknot is a good spot to semi-escape into the woods. Its facilities include everything except showers: flush toilets, sink, potable water, and firewood for sale ($10). Camp hosts are nice and clean/ restock the restrooms regularly. Campground is very close to the city (5min drive), situated right next to Snow Summit. You will hear cars and construction vehicles on the road at all times of day and some slight sound/ light pollution from passing mtn bikers and the recreational facility nearby. Campsite #19 is one of the prime spots at Pineknot - huge campsite with tons of space and is also secluded, very private, and near the restrooms and garbage. However, there is a small (20ish ft) hill from the car to the site youll need to traverse each time while unpacking/packing or heading up to the restrooms. There is also a number of trip hazards like roots and rocks jutting out of the ground. This site is near Bristlecone Dr and bike paths so you may notice more vehicle/ bike activity. Overall good experience

Beautiful campground! We did have coyotes in our campsite so be careful if traveling with dogs. Clean bathrooms and friendly camp hosts.

This is for campsite #019 - Our family of 4 had a great time. The campsite was large and secluded which gave a ton of privacy. The bathroom was close.

It would be great if Pineknot would add showers at the campground. We went in mid-June, so there was pollen everywhere, it dusted everything, including our tent.

Coyotes (you hear them at night!) and No bears in October it was too cold for them. There is bike trail and tons of hikes near the campsite.

Great campsites! Midweek, there were few campers there besides us.

We traveled 5 weeks and Pineknot is in the top 3 campgrounds we experienced. Camp Hosts Shawn and Charlotte were friendly and professional. Lots of mountain biking trails begin right outside the camp. Great singletracks with amazing views (there is some elevation gain required to get the best views). We are coming back next year for a much longer stay.
