What Guests Are Saying
Sanders Cove is a beautiful and clean campground with spacious sites, lovely views, and friendly hosts, making it a favorite for many campers. While the campground offers a peaceful atmosphere and good amenities, some facilities, particularly the bathrooms and showers, require significant updates and maintenance. The roads leading to the park are in poor condition, but the overall experience is enjoyable, with plenty of outdoor activities available nearby.

Enjoyed very much and give great credit for park rangers controlling restless of people's of unrest ! The park was very well maintained! However , feel that phasing out gate attendants is a very detrimental mistake !

For such a large campground, there was only one very outdated shower house near the entrance and beside the dump station. There was one dump station for campground. Campground B is the only area with 50 Amp even though recreation.gov filter shows many 50 amp campsites in A and C. I told the campground and recreation.gov about the filter inaccuracies but did not get the impression anything will be corrected. Camp area B has a small beach. Signs at the beach indicate no alcohol allowed but lots of beer boxes and trash left behind. We visited in June on a weekend and cars/motorcycles came through continuously heading to the beach and/or site seeing . Site B4 base is concrete and almost level (used one pad on driver side) and had partial shade. Very little shade in the afternoon in June. No view of water but a decent amount of space from outer loop road and next site B6, unfortunately site B3 was a bit too close.

It would be nice to join the modern world and have flush toilets, an a warm shower @ each loop.
I could quickly forget the aroma of outhouses!
They could be located 200 yards from lake. I come back to this lake for the clear water in the summer ,if you prefer brown water ,go to hugo lake.

Beautiful park, gorgeous lake. Rangers were extremely helpful. This was the first time we stayed at a COE park and will definitely do so again. . . With an inflatable boat.

The camp hosts are professional, friendly and helpful, and the park is very well kept. Given the proximity to the lake shoreline, as well as to the nearby mountain bike trails, there's always plenty of outside fun to be had at Sander's Cove.

Lovely park, very clean, staff very responsive. The power went out during our stay and they communicated well and resolved it quickly. The only negative is the sites are very close together.
