Nice place, well maintained.

@JonasE0E4E2068 · Camped on Sep 5, 2024 at Campsite #18

Awesome campground near Spruce Knob lake and Spruce Knob. Very clean pit toilets, plenty of firewood available for sale, friendly neighbors. This has become an annual trip for me and my buddy. Highly recommended, especially as an escape from hotter weather at lower elevations.

@LaurenE50C41B5 · Camped on Aug 30, 2024 at Campsite #12

Great, lots of privacy. Clean toilets and drinking water.

@NathanK8331968 · Camped on Jul 5, 2024 at Campsite #37

Nice campground, bugs weren't too bad and the tent area was nice and flat. Nice firepits too.

@TiffanyMCC4B5D · Camped on Jun 14, 2024 at Campsite #41

Spacious, private, clean and close access to bathroom and water.

@AmberT4720840 · Camped on May 20, 2024 at Campsite #32

Camp manager was very nice. Clean site, bathroom and water access.

@BrianS9986332 · Camped on Apr 19, 2024 at Campsite #25

Great location! Been returning year after year. Always clean. Last year's temperature broke 80 degrees F. Lake is a short walk from campground. The new campground host, Amber, She is always there to help.

I've been going to Spruce Knob Lake Campground for 30 years and the campground itself is maintained nicely and the camp supervisor did her job well keep in the bathrooms clean and organized in the trash picked up. It is definitely busier now than it ever has been! It went from a hardcore camper hiker location to a tourist attraction which most things do eventually.

@PhilippeJF9B70 · Camped on Sep 20, 2023 at Campsite #11

site #11 is rather small not really suitable for a 30" trailer as claimed or you will be in a bad slope and have no space left for the tow vhc. I had a 15ft trailer and was just fitting in there.The campground was clean and pleasant.

@DanaCA6D822D18 · Camped on Aug 21, 2023 at Campsite #9

Pave road from camp ground to overlook

@AnthonyP205681 · Camped on Aug 13, 2023 at Campsite #11

Super close to spruce knob lake and pretty close to the Spruce Knob summit. Bathrooms were super clean for what they are. Only downside was the site got a bit muddy, but it did rain a lot while we were there.

@NinaL8F009B452 · Camped on Aug 11, 2023 at Campsite #17

I had a wonderful experience at Spruce Knob Lake Campground. The camp host was very attentive, drove around checking on everyone multiple times throughout the day. Firewood was available for purchase. The reserved sites each had nice platforms for tents. The walk-in sites may have you walk up some stairs but for the most part were pretty close to parking and looked private. I will definitely be coming back and recommending this campground to family/friends.

@JaredD2684387 · Camped on Aug 8, 2023 at Campsite #23

Great car camping site. Clean and spacisous, not too close to other site but more than enough room for 2 tents and a nice open area to cook and eat. Clean bathrooms but no lights. Could be better if the water was filtered for refilling water packs.

@LauraD1350391 · Camped on Aug 8, 2023 at Campsite #37

The host was welcoming. She helped me find some local hikes and let me know about the meteor shower!

@BonnieH5600982 · Camped on Jul 8, 2023 at Campsite #7

Host was wonderful. Park kept up. Best place to camp if you are a tent camper. There is not any hook ups so you get to really enjoy the peace and quiet of nature.

@AngusC1428571 · Camped on Jun 16, 2023 at Campsite #22

The new camp manager, Lana, is a delight. She had everything in working order. And the campsite was clean when we arrived. Toilets were completely stock with tissue paper and hand sanitizer.

@DavidK6336379 · Camped on Jun 12, 2023 at Campsite #8

Lena was a great host and the sites are nice and level. The four roads in are a mix of paved and gravel. All of them are very narrow in places and it would be hard to negotiate with oncoming vehicles if you are a wide Rv or travel trailer. We have a large truck and pull a 25 ft camper and felt lucky to not come across an other vehicle on the narrow parts of the roads. The roads are in generally decent shape but I don’t recommend a fifth wheel or travel trailer unless small like a teardrop or pop up style. It’s doable but…. Tents, class B or teardrop/ pop ups would have no problems.

@ReeceJ985F009C · Camped on Jun 10, 2023 at Campsite #40

Very nice campground near awesome Spruce knob peak

@CaseyA2589100 · Camped on Jun 9, 2023 at Campsite #20

We stayed at site 20 with our pop-up truckbed camper, and a friend with a tailgate tent on his SUV. He was able to back up to one of the tent pads while we had to level the front of our truck out in the driveway. But an incredible amount of space for three people and our two dogs. The grass was very well maintained and mowed and no trash to speak of. A welcome site to behold! The vault toilet was clean and just a short walk down the hill with trash receptacles right across the road. We didn't spend any time at the lake...just hiking up on Spruce Knob. It's a slow drive on the dirt road to keep the dust down, but an easy ride if that's where you want to go. We'll 100% return to this site when we want some space to spread out!

@MarcB6F848985C · Camped on Jun 2, 2023 at Campsite #21

The park was nice and quiet. Site 021 was very big, lots of room for tent and our bug shelter. We brought a canoe and the lake was fun to paddle. Plenty of bird watching also.

@MitchT6950437 · Camped on May 12, 2023 at Campsite #32

We loved the quiet camping here, and the camp host has great photos for sale! It’s a great area to hike with kids, too.

@AngusC1428571 · Camped on Oct 7, 2022 at Campsite #11

Camp sites were clean. The camp director is always on top of things

@MathildaS85611 · Camped on Oct 7, 2022 at Campsite #10

Great campsite!

@ZacharyM566746 · Camped on Sep 1, 2022 at Campsite #18

Spruce Knob Lake campground is wonderfully run, in a beautiful setting near to West Virginia’s highest peak, and a great place to camp. The campground was impeccably clean, with the vault toilets well kept and the water potable and easy to get from your camp site. The camp sites are well spaced out, quite private and a good size. Will definitely be back!

@Mohammed678244 · Camped on Aug 13, 2022 at Campsite #18

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
