Sanders Cove is a beautiful and quiet campground with large, clean campsites and friendly staff, making it a great choice for relaxation and family gatherings. Many visitors appreciated the scenic views, well-marked trails, and the overall cleanliness of the park. However, the facilities, particularly the restrooms and showers, require significant maintenance and updates to enhance the camping experience.

My low rating is for the specific site that I reserved, A1. In the description of the campsite, the campground map, and the one single picture, there was nothing that indicated the campsite was next to the dock and boat ramp. Worse, was the fact that the parking lot to the boat ramp was directly adjacent and overlooking our entire campsite so when vehicles parked they were right next to us and put us in a very dangerous position with our site directly at the bottom of a small decent. There was no where except the parking lot for our vehicle, which made it difficult since I use a rooftop tent. The registration site did not say anything about it being a walk-in site. I assume the dock and boat launch were built after this site was established; this specific campsite should be removed as it is directly below the parking lot which is dangerous, but also very annoying as many of the late boaters return to their vehicles have absolutely no regard for the noise they create or the light pollution from their vehicles. There are only three primitive/non-electric campsites at this specific A location, and I wouldn’t return to camp at any of them even though they were right next to the water.
Aside from that, we enjoyed the waterfront and the wooded area. The toilets are vault toilets and while I don’t expect much from vault toilets these were strangely the second nastiest toilets I’ve seen this year (Palo Duro portajons being 1st place by a few thousand black flies) I’ll blame the fishing competition they had the day I arrived as possibly being the reason the toilets were so gross. This seems like a great spot for boaters and fisherman, but that pretty much ruins the camping experience for anyone just hoping to enjoy nature and not hear boats blaring 90’s pop and/or country from their boat speakers.

Hosts were friendly, helpful and accommodating. (They assigned us a slot with a great view of the lake!) Campground was clean and well kept.

It was a little hot , so fishing was slow and bike riding didn't have a lot of breeze, really good other than that

Well, it could be a lot nicer. We stayed there Labor Day weekend. The fire pit was full of beer cans and trash from the previous camper. The sites could have been mowed. The restrooms are absolutely nasty and could stand major upgrades. Given a chance to stay at a state park versus a Corp of Engineer campground, I will always choose the state park if at all possible.

Worst spot in my time. Open door and have a 4 ft drop off with a bad knee. Should not rent out the spot
