Great facilities! Really nice and quiet and spread out from the other camp sites. Convenient bathroom locations. The only thing that wouldve made it better was if the firewood up for purchase was covered because it was all wet when we got there. Regardless, Id stay again!

Beautiful!

Given other reviews, I thought this would be a more remote area. There is no service and it is at the top of a mountain but it seems to be a popular campground. The sites were closer together than expected and the guests were pretty loud so we didn't get the quiet weekend we had expected but still had a really great time! We chose the walk-in sites to be off the road a bit. The hiking nearby was great! Given the distance from where we live, I don't see us returning but if we did, I'd probably just stay at a hike in spot on the trails as every trail had ample camping spots and water.

Wonderful campground with large well spaced sites. Super nice manager with a cute dog! Will definitely be back.

We had a great time. The campsite was accessible and a quick walk to the bathroom. The camp host was hospitable and helped us carry wood back to our campsite.We had amazing weather during our stay and even tried some dark sky photography the second night.

Very clean and maintainedI wish the web sight had pictures of the sights so you can make a better selection but this is true with most Recreation.gov camp ground web sites

The campground was great. It was also empty during our late-June visit. We were able to change our reserved tent campsite on arrival, which was great. The location and availability of water was wonderful. We will return.

Mostly quiet and peaceful campground. Cooler summer temperatures at this higher elevation.
@JeffreyW413498 · Camped on Jun 20, 2025 at Campsite #24
Great spot to spend a weekend. Excellent facilities, easy to access potable water. Clean large campsites.
@RobertS9225788 · Camped on Jun 13, 2025 at Campsite #34
The campground is quite large and the sites are spread out which offers a sense of privacy. I chose a walk up site as I was traveling light. If you have a family and lots of gear I suggest you not choose a WKUP site.There's several restroom (upscale outhouse) locations convenient to any site you choose. After visiting a few I found them to be clean and supplied with toilet tissue and hand sanitizer.It rained almost all day the entire time I was there so I did not use the fire pit. Firewood was available for purchase but I thought the pre-packaged bundles were rather small.The picnic table was quite large but it fit nicely under my 10'x10' canopy. The tent pad was satisfactory.My only gripe...during the day some campers felt it necessary to serenade everyone with music and they seemed unaware or did not care about intruding on other folks solitude.Overall I had a pleasant time and enjoyed the campground.

looked to cancel our reservation because of terrible weather - were ok with not getting complete refund- but couldnt even get any refund because of website glitch problems. No big deal. But whatever.
@ZerenZ36F687BA · Camped on Oct 4, 2024 at Campsite #23
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.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

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.
