Camp host was nice and informative, lots were quiet on the week day and well maintained. I wish I would of read somewhere that it’s all fire road or gravel roads to get to this campsite but besides that it worked out welll.

There were only a few other campsites taken near us. The campsite was clean and quiet and the lake was beautiful!

One of the best car camping experiences I’ve had!! Spaces are in a wooded area with plenty of privacy. Clean, well maintained, quiet and peaceful. Plenty of hiking options available nearby including a lovely 1-mile walk around Spruce Knob Lake. The camp site is not that easy to get to as it does require traveling partially on dirt roads. You do need to plan to be self-contained.

We had a great stay at Spruce Knob Lake Campground! We stayed at site 41 which had a water spigot conveniently located right at the road, so filling our water bottles was really easy. The bathroom, which was clean and well stocked with toilet paper, was about 50 yards away. The camp manager was very helpful, he recommended hiking trails for us and our dog, and told us about the fireflies in the meadow by the lake that would come out around 9:30-10pm. It was magical! We went to Spruce Knob Lake specifically to see the Milky Way and even though it was cloudy most of the weekend, we lucked out and got to see it one night! There were a handful of stargazers from a local astronomy group who shared information about the night sky, which definitely enhanced our experience. Also, we happened to be there while a gravel bike race was happening, which we thought was really cool. 10/10 would recommend.

Great place to get away, star watching at night around the lake, Spruce Knob, and Seneca Rocks were all fantastic. Make sure to have directions saved prior to getting there, cell service is unreliable.
