Loved this campground! Quiet, clean, beautiful, close to many hikes, and the campground manager was awesome! Very nice and helpful.

At the time of my trip, the campground manager did not have maps of the national forest. However, there weren’t many wrong-turns to make, so we ended up at both Spruce Knob and Seneca Rocks with no problem (both are must-see’s, and the hike up Seneca Rocks is a doozy)!

Great campground. Firewood for sale. Camp manager said a bear occasionally comes through the campground. Bear safe trash cans throughout; quite a few vault bathrooms and a water house. Mostly private sites.

Access is easier if you take the road from South East of Seneca Rocks.

Campsite is excellent. Staffer was super friendly and helpful, and low loading allowed us to move further away from loud site. People with obnoxiously loud generator for their camper only reason not 5 star (could be heard throughout the entire campsite). Love this location!

The dark skies were well worth the trip from northern VA. Got lucky with a clear night to see and photograph the Milky Way and Perseids over Spruce Mountain Lake. I can't wait to go back and enjoy some hiking and more dark, starry nights.

Was great place the whole area is great but it's a while for supplies and gas so make sure you get some before heading up.

Secluded campsites, clean bathrooms, friendly camp host. We will definitely be back. Excellent experience, even though we had at least 3” of rain while we were there.
