Love coming to th8is campground. Nestled in the trees and sites are far enough apart to ensure you are not listening to your neighbors conversations. Restrooms are always cleam and firewood is available. They even have a senior discount.

This is our new favorite campground! Huge sites, clean bathrooms, lots of space for my dog to play. The trail around the lake is beautiful. The hosts are friendly, easy going people!

Dale & Red Shorts, our campground hosts the past 4 years, make the experience 5 stars. The campground needs some attention as things are starting to show their age and deteriorate. Time for Anthony Lakes to spend some of the $ they collect. It’s still our favorite place anyway.

A well maintained and clean campground with lots of scenery. Hike all or part of the 15 miles of the shoreline trail around the lake. You will see a variety of amazing scenery. Great place to relax and enjoy the smells of the pine trees and singing birds. Camp hosts are very friendly and helpful.

I really love this campground but don’t think the group sites are all the same. “A” is confusing. Not sure how 10 cars & 60 people could fit there with random tent sites at the bottom (and last year a couple had 2 big, crazy dogs at a close tent site). Second year camping in this spot & there are still broken benches and the power was out in the bathroom. I will try group “D” next year but think “A” needs expanding if you really want to advertise it as that big of a site. And/or mark it with buckets like other site because people walked through our site to get to tents with their dogs 😬
