The area was great. The lake is pretty. My only complaint is that the campsite we had reserved was occupied and the people weren't in the camp to check with. The host was not at his trailer. He evidently had not put the reserved sign on our campsite. We did get another site which was fine.

My girlfriend and I stayed here last week (mid-October 2020), and the campground was great! Over night temps were high-20s to low-30s so bring a good sleeping bag for October. The campground was beautiful and full of pine trees. The milky way was visible in the evening
Very quiet campground and a had some success at the lake catching rainbow trout. The lake is just a few minute walk from the campground. Highly recommend this campground.. we will be there again as soon as we can.

What a beautiful and peaceful lake. We stayed only one night the first of October, but we'll definitely be back. Basic campground, but very clean and well maintained. Be sure to take the hike up to Hoffer Lakes as well. Less than a mile above Anthony, and worth the hike.

Beautiful lake and secluded campsites. Drive up was gorgeous. Caught the sunset over Wallowa Mountains at the lookout.

we stayed at gs-1 group site (10 campsites, 55 campers max). There were at least 3 broken water faucets and we all have to share one working faucet (some long walks from their campsites. This is our fourth year, 3 broken water faucets has not been repaired in at least 4 years. Please fix and repair all faucets before next year.

Campsite 24 good spot, only had neighbor campers on each side, no one in the front of us but the forest. That made it nice. Take lots of mosquito repellent for you and your pets. Take a canopy for shade, trees there don't give much shade. Just saying for preparation purposes for elderly and little ones. Loved! Loved! 1st time Camping there, awesome experience for the whole family. Totally worth a day trip as well, go early to take in as much as you can. Highly recommended!
