New Jersey State Parks
Good size lake. Love the boat rentals. Very good price for rentals. Good campsites. 
I LOVE IT I HAVE A GREAT TIME WITH FAMILY,ALOT OF FUN. I STAY FOR THE 4 OF JULY WEEKEND. this lake is great fo the entire family. you can cook out, even bring your own grill if you prefer to use your own. you can bring your own yard items like balls, play basket ball, go on a boat ride, whatever you enjoy outdoors, and its close to home. and you can go for a quick dip in the lake. its not too big so you can easily see your children playing and there are play grounds all around the park. Excellent, been going there since I was a kid, and now i take my kids to enjoy and have great memories of the lake just like I do.. 
Went there camping 2 weekends ago. Lake-side camping was very relaxing. Wish I did not have to use the restrooms/shower rooms though. They really need big time scrubbing.
I used to love coming to this lake as a child and it seems that as the years go by the water gets dirtier. Pros: the staff is very friendly and helpful. Campsites are spacious. Especially the ones by the lake. Locate near grocery / restaurants.
Cons: Dirty bathroom / showers. Not enough showers also. Sometimes the line is quite long. No noise control after 10:00. Other campers are still makeing so much noises after 12:00 at nite. the water in lake is very muddy. Also, rental fee for canoe / boat is very expensive. Every summer my husband and I take our kids out to the lake at least three times a month and we rent a boat to go fishing. Last week we were shocked to see that all the boats were in terrible conditions, there were no oars in case the engine blew out, and worst of all, not one boat had an anchor!!! The young man seemed very nonchalant when asked about the anchors. He then tied a cinder block to a piece of rope and gave it to us and siad that was the best he can do! I spent the next 4 hours using a stick to push the boat away from rocks while my husband fished. SIGH!!! very nice lake I brought my grandchildren (6 and almost 3) to the park and spent most of the day. The kids had a great time in the water, the playground equipment, and the ice cream. The facilities are excellent. The staff friendly and helpful. The cost was reasonable - the car was $10 and the people were free. Keep up the good work. LOVE IT CLEAN N FUN FOR THE FAMILY This is a lovely place to my family and all of our friends and their family either!!!!!!! Very recommended for everyone who like to be on amazing park and fishing!!!!!! A beautiful park that is less crowded than Round Valley, but the lack of bathrooms is a problem at times. Check out our pictures at: http://www.meetup.com/www-mosaic-gny-org/photos/1028820/ First time I went there to camp around 1988. Was very nice and qiet years ago, stopped going there about 8 years ago. To crowded, people are to noisy - loud music from radios, alcohol is prohibited but people still drink it in the recreation area as well as camping area. My family and i have been going to this park since i have been a kid (like 5 or 6)now im 19 and im packing to leave for the park now. We try to go about every year or so and some of my best childhood memories are from Spruce Run. Highly recommended. 
We love this park the only issue we have are the restrooms. They need to be a LOT CLEANER. its ok...recreation area is great, but water is dirty...took the fun out of swimming :( My daughter and I spend so much time here during the summer just swimming. Everyday we spend there feels like a little vacation. The camping sites were very large, and had amazing views of the lake. I can not wait to go back again... however the bathrooms could of been cleaner, other than that i have no complaints except for the fact that im sad to not be there now. I was 18 when I first went there it was the best day ever.. this park is big and beautiful... I want to go again maybe this year... It is wonderful park. Everything is nice only one suggestion to management or NJ goverment that if you can provide dumster so people can throw garbage.Do not have to take garbage home. My family, all from NJ, arranged us to meet at Spruce Run for a holiday reunion. I must complement the local park supervisors as well as your office on the high quality of the park. The facilities were fine, but even more important to me, the staff was excellent. The lifeguards kept things well under control, but were always friendly and courteous while doing so! I was impressed by how diverse a community was using the park. It offers an affordable day out for an entire family in a warm friendly setting. Thanks we have been going to this park for 9yrs... it is well kept We have been going to spruce run now for over 11 years beuatiful views great areas for family camping having a bbq and more.. We even took our wedding photos at the park. LOVELY BREATHTAKING VIEWS AND RELAXING WALKS TOO. ESPECIALLY THIS TIME OF YEAR .. From the moment my fiance and entered this park we were hooked. The grounds are a wonderful combination of woods and open fields. The restrooms were very well maintained and park staff are both well versed and friendly. We have been sailing on SR for more years than I care to count. An ideal place for the small sailboater. No big power boats or their wakes to contend with. Highly recommended. We had our first annual Car Club BBQ here last year. Was a beautiful location and was great for our 50 members. This year we plan to have it again and we hope to have 100 members attend. We look forward to another great BBQ. I found out about Sprucerun a few years ago
been going ever since.live in on staten island.beautiful lake,campsites well kept up
breath taking sites right off the lake.park personal excellent always around
if you need anything. Far enough from city lights to allow for star gazing around the campfire. A dump station, flushed toilets and showers provide a good level of comfort while preserving a rustic environment and discouraging large rigs. The lake is beautiful, power boat rentals are available, large sites, no hook ups. The rest rooms could be cleaner. I live in Camden County & have been traveling to S/R for the past 10 yrs. The lake side camping is awesome & hybrid striper fishing is the best.
