Spectacular location and views. Really enjoyed the trees and rocks around our campsite. Unfortunately the mosquitos were horrendous and we could only stay 1 of our 2 nights. Sorry to have missed out on spending time at the lake and the hiking. Camp host Hunter was gracious and accomodating.

Hunter was a great camp host, the camps were always clean and everyone we met was helpful and interested in us having a great time. A beautiful place in the mountains to get away to. We will go back for sure, next time with a bike.

Beautiful campground! The lake is stunning both at sunset and in the morning. Because of the lake, the night and early morning was quite cold. Sites are spacious with enough privacy. Site 20 was great for a 4-person tent.

What a great campground. We’ll appointed sites with beautiful white boulders, we’ll kept picnic tables and fire rings and vault toilets near by all. The trails around the lake are so perfect and just the perfect mellow place to relax away from it all. I grew up in eastern Oregon and spent many summers and winters going up to Anthony to snowboard, hike, and kayak but had NEVER even driven into the campground. What a nice surprise! I’ll be booking a whole week next summer. And the Star Bottles pizza and beer were a big hit for a nice Sunday dinner with some family who drove up from Baker. If you want a quiet, clean, and entirely beautiful please to take a breath, Anthony Lakes is the place for you!

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.

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.
