This campsite is very clean and not super busy. The sites are great for a small camper or tent camping but don’t plan to bring in anything bigger than a 36’ rv in any of the sites. The nature trail to Kentuck lake is a nice walk. The beach is nice and big for families to swim but the swim area is in front of the lakeside sites so if you don’t have a lake side site you feel kind of like you are bothering the lakeside site campers. The rules say no noise from 10pm-6am but generators ran nonstop and people party every night until 1:00am.

The site was located across the road from the beach. It was spacious and fit our camper and a big tent. It was partially shaded, so was comfortable even with temperatures in the high 80s. The picnic table and fire pit were in good condition. The restrooms near the campsite were spacious and clean.

Nice campground. Someone needs to control the generator use 14 hours a day is to much!

Quiet campground only about half full on labor day weekend. Clean rest rooms. Only second time using national campgrounds but love the peace and quiet.

Love this place. Back to nature. Very clean they come around and clean the pit toilets everyday during the season.

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.
