★★★★★bob haithcockAwesome outdoor adventures from here including trail races n gravel riding events
★★★★★Walter HagansBeautiful as always, it's my once a year top vacation spot.
★★★★★Mark WenzlerMy daughter attended Experience Learning camps at Spruce Knob Mountain Center for six years and absolutely loved everything about it! The instructors were awesome and instilled so much confidence in her to take on ever increasing challenges and to know that she can make a difference in caring for nature. The programs are designed to meet kids where they are and help them get to where they want to go. This is not your typical summer camp with horseback riding and archery and crafts. It's a true wilderness-based learning journey where nature delivers all the wonder and awe you could ask for. I'm so grateful that we discovered Experience Learning and that they've helped my daughter become the confident, caring, and inquisitive young adult that she is today.
★★★★★Doug RiegnerVery serene and amazing views. The morning fog after camping was amazing as it both hid but revealed varying levels of trees. Individual Showers were great. The custom wooden pavilion screams party! Get there. Check it out for yourself.
★★★★★Brandy Hart CarrollIt has been 10 plus years since I've been out here for field trips with school kids and it hasn't changed much. The views are breathtaking and it's a wonderful spot to be while learning. We recently attended the West Virginia kite festival here and it was the perfect location for it! While we were there they unveiled a new yurt they had built but I didn't get pictures of that. This is a great facility that has so many great learning experiences.
