The campground is quite large and the sites are spread out which offers a sense of privacy. I chose a walk up site as I was traveling light. If you have a family and lots of gear I suggest you not choose a WKUP site.
There's several restroom (upscale outhouse) locations convenient to any site you choose. After visiting a few I found them to be clean and supplied with toilet tissue and hand sanitizer.
It rained almost all day the entire time I was there so I did not use the fire pit. Firewood was available for purchase but I thought the pre-packaged bundles were rather small.
The picnic table was quite large but it fit nicely under my 10'x10' canopy. The tent pad was satisfactory.
My only gripe...during the day some campers felt it necessary to serenade everyone with music and they seemed unaware or did not care about intruding on other folks solitude.
Overall I had a pleasant time and enjoyed the campground.

looked to cancel our reservation because of terrible weather - were ok with not getting complete refund- but couldnβt even get any refund because of website glitch problems. No big deal. But whatever.

Awesome campground near Spruce Knob lake and Spruce Knob. Very clean pit toilets, plenty of firewood available for sale, friendly neighbors. This has become an annual trip for me and my buddy. Highly recommended, especially as an escape from hotter weather at lower elevations.

Nice campground, bugs weren't too bad and the tent area was nice and flat. Nice firepits too.

Great location! Been returning year after year. Always clean. Last year's temperature broke 80 degrees F. Lake is a short walk from campground. The new campground host, Amber, She is always there to help.

I've been going to Spruce Knob Lake Campground for 30 years and the campground itself is maintained nicely and the camp supervisor did her job well keep in the bathrooms clean and organized in the trash picked up. It is definitely busier now than it ever has been! It went from a hardcore camper hiker location to a tourist attraction which most things do eventually.
