Super close to spruce knob lake and pretty close to the Spruce Knob summit. Bathrooms were super clean for what they are. Only downside was the site got a bit muddy, but it did rain a lot while we were there.

I had a wonderful experience at Spruce Knob Lake Campground. The camp host was very attentive, drove around checking on everyone multiple times throughout the day. Firewood was available for purchase. The reserved sites each had nice platforms for tents. The walk-in sites may have you walk up some stairs but for the most part were pretty close to parking and looked private. I will definitely be coming back and recommending this campground to family/friends.

The host was welcoming. She helped me find some local hikes and let me know about the meteor shower!

Great car camping site. Clean and spacisous, not too close to other site but more than enough room for 2 tents and a nice open area to cook and eat. Clean bathrooms but no lights.
Could be better if the water was filtered for refilling water packs.

Host was wonderful. Park kept up. Best place to camp if you are a tent camper. There is not any hook ups so you get to really enjoy the peace and quiet of nature.

The park was nice and quiet. Site 021 was very big, lots of room for tent and our bug shelter. We brought a canoe and the lake was fun to paddle. Plenty of bird watching also.

The new camp manager, Lana, is a delight. She had everything in working order. And the campsite was clean when we arrived. Toilets were completely stock with tissue paper and hand sanitizer.

Lena was a great host and the sites are nice and level. The four roads in are a mix of paved and gravel. All of them are very narrow in places and it would be hard to negotiate with oncoming vehicles if you are a wide Rv or travel trailer. We have a large truck and pull a 25 ft camper and felt lucky to not come across an other vehicle on the narrow parts of the roads. The roads are in generally decent shape but I don’t recommend a fifth wheel or travel trailer unless small like a teardrop or pop up style. It’s doable but…. Tents, class B or teardrop/ pop ups would have no problems.

We stayed at site 20 with our pop-up truckbed camper, and a friend with a tailgate tent on his SUV. He was able to back up to one of the tent pads while we had to level the front of our truck out in the driveway. But an incredible amount of space for three people and our two dogs. The grass was very well maintained and mowed and no trash to speak of. A welcome site to behold! The vault toilet was clean and just a short walk down the hill with trash receptacles right across the road.
We didn't spend any time at the lake...just hiking up on Spruce Knob. It's a slow drive on the dirt road to keep the dust down, but an easy ride if that's where you want to go. We'll 100% return to this site when we want some space to spread out!
