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.

Granite bedrock makes for good swimming in surrounding lakes

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.

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!
