New Spicer Meadows sits as the group camping option at Spicer Reservoir, a 2,000-acre lake split between motorized and wilderness zones. This single group site serves parties looking to camp together near water that transitions from 10-mph boating on the lower end to paddle-only territory where the Carson-Iceberg Wilderness takes over.

The Camp
The group site handles larger parties at a reservoir that straddles two worlds. The lower portion allows motorized boats at 10 mph maximum, while the upper reaches stay quiet under wilderness designation. You're camping at the junction of these zones, with access to both the busier boating area and the more remote wilderness waters.
What to Know
As the only group option among 61 total sites at Spicer Reservoir, this spot books up with parties planning multi-day fishing or paddling trips. The reservoir's split personality means you can launch motors on the main body while exploring the wilderness end by paddle or hiking the shoreline trails.
Nearby
The Carson-Iceberg Wilderness boundary runs right up to the upper reservoir, putting wilderness trails within reach of camp. Fishing works throughout the system, though the quiet upper end typically offers more solitude. The reservoir's 2,000-acre surface when full provides plenty of water for both power boating and non-motorized exploration, depending on which direction you head from the group site.
