Very organized and clean camp site. Clean toilets! The camp hosts were great. The lay out of the camp allows for privacy between the sites. There is no cell service for AT&T nor Tmobile.

This was a beautiful quiet (nearly empty in mid September) campground with access to lots of hiking trails and a picturesque lake. Toilet was clean. The camp host was frequently out and about cleaning, checking on campers, selling firewood.

An absolutely beautiful location with tons of sites, well-maintained trails, and easy access around the lake. I got there 30 minutes before sunset and was able to set up camp AND do a hike around the lake with the orange glow on the mountains. Could not recommend enough!

Anthony Lakes was an amazing camping destination and exceeded our expectations. The area is incredibly scenic, peaceful, and surrounded by beautiful mountain lakes and alpine landscapes. One of the best things about this campground is the abundance of easy to moderate hiking trails that lead to stunning ponds, lakes, and viewpoints, making it perfect for families, casual hikers, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
During our stay, we completed the Black Lake Trail and the Crawfish Lake Trail, both of which were excellent hikes. The trails were well-maintained, easy to follow, and offered incredible views along the way. Black Lake was especially picturesque, with crystal-clear water and a quiet, serene atmosphere. Crawfish Lake provided beautiful mountain scenery and was a rewarding hike without being overly strenuous.
The campground itself was clean, well-kept, and provided a great basecamp for exploring the area. Wildlife sightings, fresh mountain air, and the peaceful surroundings made for a relaxing and memorable trip.
If you're looking for a campground with easy access to alpine lakes, scenic hikes, and beautiful views in every direction, Anthony Lakes is hard to beat. We will definitely be returning and look forward to exploring even more of the trails and lakes in the area next time.
Highly recommended for camping, hiking, fishing, and anyone who enjoys mountain scenery.

The campground was clean and quiet. We stayed in the group camp site. The bathrooms were very clean and garbage was picked up daily. The lake is beautiful! We also enjoyed lunch at the ski lodge one day.
