Picturesquely located close to Spruce Knob, which is the highest point in West Virginia, Spruce Knob Lake Campground offers a total of 42 primitive campsites where nature lovers can enjoy a pioneer-style camping experience (vault toilets and no hook-ups). What the campground lacks in the way modern camping conveniences it makes up for in atmosphere, as it is situated on a peaceful wooded ridge overlooking the lake. Most of the sites have a fire pit and picnic table and drinking water is available. Campers have easy access to the stocked lake for excellent trout fishing and non-motorized boating, and the surrounding forest offers over 60 miles of marked hiking trails, including the popular 1-mile Big Bend River Loop.
