PINEKNOT

Came here on a Sunday in July 2025. We got campsite #2. The campsite was full according to the sign at the entrance. Our campsite was right towards the entrance but even though you are right next to it it's not that bad with cars coming and going. We hardly noticed them at times.

The campsite was full according to the sign at the entrance. Our campsite was right towards the entrance but even though you are right next to it it's not that bad with cars coming and going. We hardly noticed them at times. If you have a ground tent this site has a flat area that would seem to be perfect for it but we had a rooftop tent so we didn't have to set one up. We did have to go to DIY store to get wood because they only take cash if you buy wood at the campsite for $10. Bathroom were clean and only a 2-4 minute walk from our site. No showers! The camp ranger is nearby and always keeping an eye on things, especially making sure the fire pits are always attended which is a good thing of course. You're right next to Snow Summit so be aware there are people pretty close riding bikes. There are some campsites that are pretty close to each other so do your homework if you want a site that's not close to your neighbor. Ours was ok even though you can see your next door neighbor and the ones across from you pretty easy. The campground isn't that big, you could walk the whole campground in about 20 min. Fires were allowed but only in the fire pit.

Compared to several years back, they have leveled the ground as best as possible and located the rings, table, and box in very convenient places. Restrooms are close and clean at all times and even stocked with TP (used once and only once). Lovely place far enough away from the main road not to hear civilization but close enough that 7-11 is a 5 min drive. No showers but we hopped over to Serra...

Restrooms are close and clean at all times and even stocked with TP (used once and only once). Lovely place far enough away from the main road not to hear civilization but close enough that 7-11 is a 5 min drive. No showers but we hopped over to Serrano and paid for the use while we were camping for an extended period. Loved every moment we were out! Oh, the host was very friendly too!

This was a really nice campground. We booked last minute and got site #2 (to the left of the entrance). Despite it being by the entrance and visibility of the condos nearby, it was a pretty great spot. We drove around and #2 was one of the bigger sites with full shade throughout the day (maybe about an hour of sun at most) with tons of beautiful trees throughout.

Despite it being by the entrance and visibility of the condos nearby, it was a pretty great spot. We drove around and #2 was one of the bigger sites with full shade throughout the day (maybe about an hour of sun at most) with tons of beautiful trees throughout. Cars drive by but the campground has one-way roads, so all campsites get lots of car traffic anyway. This specific site allows 6 people max and 2 cars max. Just like all the other sites, there’s a bear box and a fire ring. Right by this site is a water spigot/faucet with clean drinking water (the host let us know it was clean water safe to drink), or for washing dishes at your camp. There are two restrooms nearby. At night star visibility is limited (too much light pollution) but still pretty. The camp is about a 9 min drive to Big Bear Village and the lake. The host also sells firewood for $10 (cash only).
