Spruce Knob is the highest point in West Virginia, standing proud at 4,863 feet. This mountain has tons of recreation opportunities, and a beautiful, secluded campground.

There's plenty to do here. More than 60 miles of hiking trails are yours to explore, and all offer amazing views of the mountain.

Spruce Knob Lake is less than one mile from the campground. It offers excellent fishing.

Take a drive to the overlook along a narrow, winding paved road.

The views are stunning from up here!

After a day of exploring the mountain, take a final look at this gorgeous view before heading to your campsite for a campfire and some s'mores.
