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.

Excellent location, great clean facilities. Other campers were loud all through the night, would have been nice to have quiet hours enforced, but I know that's difficult. Will definitely camp there again--it's a great campsite in a fantastic landscape.

Wild & wonderful West Virginia. Dark night skies & beautiful country. Clean campground with shady sites and plenty room between you and your neighbors. Super friendly camp host Rich keeps a clean & tidy campground.

Spruce Knob is one of the best campgrounds in the country. Tranquil, quiet, perfect temperatures, secluded, and lots to do.

This campsite is lovely! The lake being so close by was very convenient and also in perfect distance to the Peak of spruce knob. The bathrooms were clean and simple. Plenty of them around as well! My only complaint would be how close the sites are together. Some of our neighboring sites were quite loud into the night. But other than that I would definitely go camp here again! Ps! The closest cell service is 30 minutes away! Definitely plan routes before going to nearby food and potential essential places!

The campsite is great! People are friendly. The lake has beautiful view. We saw birds, snakes, and fox too! The park ranger Rich did a great job in introducing the site. Water and restroom are easy to get to. Very clean.

We absolutely loved this campground! There is so much to do in the area that you can't do it all in one trip.

My husband and I stayed with our dog for a night at the campground and it was a phenomenal experience. We loved every minute. The campground was exceptionally clean, including our site and the bathroom facilities, and just stunning all around β the stars are SO bright. We will definitely be back again and again!
