Visited around 7/4/2017. One of my favorite places to camp and bird. The road from Spruce Knob to the campground (FR 112, about 8.5 miles stretch) really needs fixing, for most of it. Great birding around the lake and on Dry Fork Rd.

I didn't stay in the campground itself, I found a really nice level campsite at the top of the mountain on the other side of the lake. It was very beautiful and no noises coming from anywhere. No light pollution, so stargazing was perfect. Very beautiful drove in, but be warned the roads are gravel for about 6 miles in most directions around the campground.

One of the best campgrounds I've ever had the pleasure of staying at. We rolled up late without reservations to find we had to pay for a spot, which was a first for us. Only paid $16 for a drive up campground overnight for 2 people. Not bad. We got to hang out with and meet the campground manager. The dude used to play guitar for Willie Nelson so needless to say he was super chill. He told us the grounds weren't packed that night but that the next weekend it was booked up, so it's worth reserving your spot during leaf viewing season. They've got great campfire pits made for cooking, which was perfect for us. The bathrooms were the cleanest I've ever seen, had full rolls of TP, and actually smelled good. No running water of course. Highlight is the reflection on the lake, especially on a clear night. Star gazing is a must. I highly recommend this campground if you're staying in the Spruce Knob / Seneca Rocks area

This is a fantastic forest service campground. The solar powered water pumps are very cool and the vault toilets serve their purpose. It's camping. Enjoy yourself.

Great no frills campground. Absolutely the cleanest pit toilets can get. Firewood for sale on site. Great place to unwind, relax at the lake, and visit the spruce knob wilderness. Sites are mostly level, campground on a slight hill.
The campground managers were friendly and accommodating.response / report this review -

Amazing location. Lake is awesome for watching the stars. Very remote, fire road access only don't go there without paper maps as a backup because there is no Verizon cell service (I was told ATT may work). Campground is semi-primitivte with no shower or real toilets (perm out-houses only), but there is a tap for potable water and it is clean and well kept. There is no general store within miles, so bring everything you need. The camp mgr sells firewood only. It's worth the drive.

Great destination for anyone who wants to experience rural West Virginia. The lake is a extraordinary location for stargazing. Just driving to Spruce Knob is a treat with many mountain views and old town charms.

Awesome campground, beautiful area, great hiking, but no showers. Although for hole in the ground toilets few bugs and and low odor, using the bathroom was more comfortable than it could have been.
