Had a very nice time. I rode the mountain bike trail (Barber Hills) challenging. Went fishing in a cove next to our spot, was able to relax and enjoy time with wife.

I enjoyed 3 days of camping and mountain bike riding. My campsite had a great view of the beautiful Pat Mayse Lake and easy access to the fantastic Barber Hills trail system. The trails were in great shape and a lot of fun to ride. Kudos to the folks that build and maintain the trails.

First time staying here. Showed up on a Saturday. Park was packed. Suppose to be no more then 2 vehicles per site but I saw 3 & 4 along with boats. I tow a 17 ft TT & could barely squeeze by to reach my site. Sites spaced very close together. Staff at gatehouse very friendly. My site had w/ e. Pad very rocky but back end view of lake not bad. Shower house not anywhere near campsites. Just pit toilet I never used. Once Weekenders checked out on Sunday it quieted down. Unfortunately this one not going on my favorites list.

Our 13 day stay at Sanders cove was very nice and peaceful. The park personnel were very nice and helpful. The park was very clean and the grounds were mowed. This is our favorite camp to go to every year at least three times.

Nice campground, site was large enough for the tuck and 24' RV to fit with room to spare., Located waterfront on the lake. Most sites are shaded with electric and water. Dump station located near the entrance.

There are 3 separate areas for camping. We have camped in two of the areas. Each was enjoyable. The stays have quiet and peaceful with other campers around. It is a beautiful area.
