Spicer is quite beautiful. The water's a bit low right now. However, there is fresh water there to clean up with and the roads are covered in smooth, nice pavement all throughout. The campsites even have concrete slabs for camper, rv, or car parking. This campground is much more developed than those of the nearby bodies of water. Restrooms are even cleaner. The place overall is much less dirty than the adjacent campgrounds at Union and Utica Reservoirs. Spicer allows fishing boats, but not personal crafts. There are also alot of manual paddled vessels; kayaks, canies, paddle boards, and rafts. Utica is still a much more breathtaking place..dirt and all
