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.

Ariel, the new camp host is extremely welcoming, helpful, friendly, and keeps the campsite clean. I camped, the campground was quiet. Bathroom access is always easy. This campsite does not have established showers, so I bring my own. Overall, I always have a great experience with Pineknot campground in San Bernardino.

I really wish there had been hand soap in the bathrooms. I'm not sure what the reasoning is to have running water but no hand soap (and no soap dispensers), but I know it was unexpected for other campers too. It was a bit noisy on one night due to a group that played music past the start of quiet hours. I wish the camp host had been more on it, but overall I enjoyed our stay.

Our tent site is located right next to the creek and is not on a slope away from all the tent site with a big lawn on the side it was amazing!

OK, I pulled in and there was a generator running in an adjacent camp and kids playing ball in my site. There was also a wasp nest under my bear box, so I couldn't put anything in it without the fear of upsetting them. But, after setting my tent, I went into town for dinner, and came back at 800 pm. It was totally quiet! So I was happy. All night was quiet except for the coyotes and I even saw shooting stars. As usual, if you are up early enough you can enjoy nature, my main goal, before the activity begins. This is a campsite for recreation, mountain biking being most popular since they have trails (which I walked solo early in the morning) and ski lifts for bikes. The camp host was really nice and although I could not use the bear box, he tried to get rid of the wasps, and had, by the time I left. He kept things clean. There were nice flush toilets, sink (with soap!) and running water, and spigots. If you are coming to play, it's good, even 5 stars. If you are coming for nature, try to get the sites near #19, but better, go camp in the dispersed camping areas like out at 2N10. Much more solitude!

Very friendly camp host. Clean bathrooms. Clean campground. Coyote pack runs close and puts on nightly sound affects.

Upon arrival found the previous campers still camping in my reserved site. Took them almost 6 hours to pack. Very negative and degrading language used by the same campers while packing and their dogs barked the entire time. Then on Saturday a group of 8 sailors came to site 1 next to me. Blasting explicit lyric rap music, until security came and checked them at 9pm. All and all this was the worst Pine Knot camp weekend I have had, and as you can see from my reservation history, I camp there a lot.

Didn't know what to expect but the experience was the best! Wondering why my parents never took us growing up being so close. We only did Beach camping. This camping trip was so much fun. Can't wait to be back.

Park was beautiful and clean, our site was very difficult to get into with all of the 8x8 , 16 inch tall posts lining road and all the sites. There were a crazy amount of flies around site as well. Don't know if that's normal for the area or not. But certainly was annoying. Will come back, but only a certain sites good for backing a trailer into.
