Great clean campground. Close to the lakes and MTB trails. Just make sure you bring enough food because the nearest store is about 20-25 minutes away. We will definitely be back.

Situated near beautiful trails and on a pretty lake but the campsite is crowded, noisy, and with so many campfires and the burning if mosquito coils - the air was horrible. A real shame - it’s such a beautiful area.

I talked with the young man that was the camp host and really appreciated the care he was taking of the campground.

Just Know if you get a Yurt that it doesn't have power and make sure to get wood to burn in the stove if it's going to be cold at night.

The campground itself is nice. We were pretty disappointed that of the two sites we reserved only one actually had a tent pad. The other was clearly an RV only site (large paved pad with trees on all sides and a steep hill behind) so it was tough to squeeze a tent on that site and it was off in the trees. The booking website did not say this or we would have not reserved the bad one. Otherwise it is a very nice setting. Beautiful lakes and fun hiking nearby. Just make sure that the site you reserve can accommodate your tent!

Anthony Lake has lots of good campsite options, easy access to the lake, and hiking trailheads that you can walk to. It’s a great place for a quiet summer vacation.

Surprising little gem! Looks like a mini Lake Tahoe. Campsites are a bit tight but we had no trouble with a pickup and camper. Would definitely go back.
