SPOT 40 BEWAREFirst, Pineknot is a beautiful campground, with ample bathroom and fresh, potable water access. The camp hosts are excellent, with a ton of firewood for sale at a good price. The campground is close enough to town but feels very distant. I suggest sites with higher numbers to get more of that "in the mountains" feel. From driving around the campground, it looks like all the sites have ample shade. The bathrooms are fully plumbed and kept clean. I highly recommend this campground, and will return my next visit to Big Bear.SPOT 40- I do NOT recommend this site. It is very spread out- meaning the table is far from the grill, fire pit, and bear box. Cooking meals is difficult if you are using the grill because there is nowhere to set your stuff unless you bring your own table. The site is very sloped on all sides, making everything at a tilt. The best, most level spot for a tent is on the parking pad. If you use a tabletop camp stove on the picnic table, it's a haul back and forth from the bear box. Nearly every site we drove by, all of the amenities are close to each other.

Great campground, close to town and hiking. The camp hosts are always great and tell you whats happening in the area like if there have been any recent bears or coyotes. Go every year

I always enjoy the stay at Pine Knot. It's a quiet campground, with great tree coverage, and nice bathrooms. The location is great as well, close to the lake and Big Bear Village.
