Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights2 sites open for every nightA forested campground near trout fishing, and hiking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
Spectacle Lake Campground sits on the east shore of a clear, 166-acre lake and is built into a mixed-species forest at roughly 1,770 feet elevation. The lake's long, sandy swim area about 500 feet dominates the shoreline and makes swimming and beach time a primary draw for families, while the water itself is open to all types of boating, motorized and non-motorized.











Length limits vary by campsite.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (1,114 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
