Many campers appreciate the rustic setting and cleanliness, with some noting spacious, quiet lakeside sites and pleasant nature trails. However, concerns were raised about the reservation system, including issues with no-shows and noise disturbances from generators and late-night parties.

We love Spectacle Lake. The Lake itself is so nice and clean, and our lab loves it. We like being able to use our generator. The only thing that keeps me from classifying Spectacle as five stars is our cell phone coverage. We have AT&T and can't really call, text, or even use cellular data with any reliability. Obviously, we don't go camping to use the internet, but we do like to keep in touch with our kids and like to have a balance between tech and no tech.

Great campground! The bathrooms were clean, the beach was welcoming and the sites were lovely. There is a fishing pier and a hiking trail that go to a neighboring campground on a different lake.
