Spruce Pine Campground

Great spot for primitive camping. Sites are usually available to be booked. Firepit and picnic table are available on each site.

Small campground with six pull-through sites plus a group camping area. Two vault toilets and one water spigot are available. The nearest waste dump is at Falls Lake State Park. Camping is $10 per night for Durham county residents and $12 per night for county residents (Feb 2019). You need to plan ahead as reservations must be made 10 days in advance. No attendants are on site. Although the sites have no amenities, the area has several trails, one of which follows a stream with several small waterfalls. Spruce Pine Lodge is also on the property. The group campsite has a small amphitheater. A playground with four swings is between the campground and Spruce Pine Lodge. Lake Michie is just down the hill. Across the highway bridge you will find a boat ramp and small boat rentals. The lake is

GROUP CAMPGROUND REVIEW Take note of the water connection on the right before entering the site. It's the only one we could find. A wide open space for your group, level parking, level tent areas, a fire pit and secondary fire ring with amphitheatre just north of the field. Pit toilets are in need of repair a decade overdue, but the city did place a trash bag in the can prior to our reserved overnight. I'd recommend a web reservation a month ahead in the spring and fall, a few months in the summer. No ranger, so if someone is in the space, the city asks you to work that out...🤔 We didn't have any issues in late fall. Overall for the very low price and location, this site is amazing. Again, pit toilets, not flushable. Bring your back up TP for a group.

Can't contact anyone if they won't answer the phone. We to look for campsites, looks like a parking lot.

The sites are small and will support one 6 man tent or maybe two one man tent. All tents must be on the pad. Sites are very close together.
