Spruce Knob Lake campground is wonderfully run, in a beautiful setting near to West Virginiaβs highest peak, and a great place to camp. The campground was impeccably clean, with the vault toilets well kept and the water potable and easy to get from your camp site. The camp sites are well spaced out, quite private and a good size. Will definitely be back!

The campsites are great and the campground host when I was there was very helpful. He gave me information about the Green Bank National Radio and Astronomy Observatory, to which I went and which I enjoyed. The cell service was questionable at all times and the roads were gravel and not fun to travel down.

It was not apparent to us when we picked Spruce Knob Lake Campground for a 1-night stay that it is at least 15 miles from the nearest paved roads to get there. We're accustomed to boondocking, but the steep, narrow, and windy National Forest gravel roads leading to/from this campground were difficult and a little scary for us pulling our 18-ft camper trailer. Nevertheless, our site was very private, and we enjoyed the quiet and beauty of the woods. We never made contact with the campground host/attendant to check in, but it didn't seem to matter.

Camp host was very friendly and welcoming. A tree fell across the one way road around the campground that was quickly cleaned up. Everyone there was really nice and the scenery is heavenly!

Great campsite set in the woods, walking distance to a beautiful lake. Clean sites and restrooms. Mid week in August it was only one-third full and the sites are nicely spaced out so you have privacy. I would come again.
