Beautiful area, beautiful campground. There are bugs in July, so a net tent to sit under is a good idea. Also wildflowers in July. Trail to Black Lake wonderful.

It's a Bug's Life at Anthony Lakes... it was a very nice campground but we were not able to even enjoy it withall the bugs and mosquitoes!
They were relentless ot getting to us and we ended up sitting in the van instead of enjoying a fire on a beautiful day in July.
Maybe there are better seasons to go there, like when it is freezing and the bugs can't take it, but not this time.

We love Anthony Lake because it is so beautiful and peaceful! This is the first time we have gone early in the season (July 1-3), and found the bugs, particularly mosquitoes, to be almost overwhelming! We also experienced a thunderstorm with hail, which was a great test for our tent! Shout out to the REI Wonderland, it held up wonderfully! We will stick to the later summer months in the future!

It's a pretty magical place. No ATVs in the campground so it stays pretty quiet. Sites are secluded in the trees and hikes to lakes are reasonable for kids. Camp Host is the best. Good vibes all around.

I've camped a lot, from a simple tarp to a nice rv.
The #8 yurt that was rented was dirty. There were multiple little things that should have been addressed before the next camper arrived. But those little things are minimal to the presence of mold all over the lower portions of the walls of the yurt.
Also there was no lock what so ever to secure the door. We had to use a folding chair to secure the door while slept and crossed our fingers when we were away.
The site is listed as ADA.
If I were a person with disabilities needing a ramp or railing considering renting this I can tell you the railing in my personal opinion is unsafe. The ramp and platform needs addressed.
Would I rent this again NO.

The trail to the lake was nice and a brief walk. It was so quiet in the evening. Fish were jumping! No bugs, clean restrooms and lots of hiking behind campsites. The fir trees were breath taking. Would return.

Great hikes and a beautiful lake. The host was terrific. I have ATT and had no cell service at the campground. The fishing is good too.
