Your booking includes three meals — from welcome appetizers through a hearty dinner, breakfast, and a packed lunch for the trail — all prepared by the camp hosts to keep groups fed for backcountry activity.

THE WATER

Three row boats for excellent on-lake fishing

Spruce Camp includes three row boats for heading out onto Spruce Lake, noted as one of the best fishing opportunities in the park for guests looking to spend time on the water.

What the day feels like

What a stay at Spruce Camp feels like

Days at Spruce Camp are deliberately paced: arrive at the lake, settle into a canvas tent outfitted with a bed and sleeping bag, gather for host-prepared meals, and choose to push out across the water in a row boat or linger by the wood stove in the main cabin to dry gear. The camp supplies camp wear and hot showers so the practical parts of backcountry life are handled, leaving time to rest and recharge in a simple, nature-focused setting.
