Clean and quiet campground with a close walk to a beautiful lake. The drive to and from the campground is also beautiful.

Fantastic experience. Campground was very clean and nicely maintained. Camp host was very friendly and helpful. By far one of the best camping experiences that I have had. We will be back in the future for sure.

Anthony Lakes is an absolutely beautiful place to visit and the campground is a nice place to stay. There is access to a variety of hikes to local lakes as well as the Elkhorn Crest Trail as well as kayaking. It's one of my favorite places to spend a few days just relaxing and enjoying the outdoors!

Camp host was very helpful and made rounds regularly. He assisted me in finding a first-come first-serve spot that would accommodate our camper van.
There was plenty of potable water, garbage cans, restrooms, and the campground was clean.
Anthony Lakes is a premium location offering hiking, kayaking or paddleboarding, fishing, rock climbing, and bicycling during the summer.

Had a great time at Anthony Lakes. The mountain biking was awesome, even if it was a little dry. We had paddle boards for the lake, which the lake is perfect for beginners like us.

My view may be tainted we stayed in site number 26 for only one night, thus we didn't get to explore the surrounding area. We found the campground difficult to find. We also tried to stay at this campground last year in September and were surprised to find snow on the ground. This year we successfully spent the night however were frustrated by the high amount of mosquitos.
