We were at Sanders during the off-season (late December). We found the roads to have areas of disrepair - broken asphalt, deep ruts along the outsides of the lanes. The only shower/flush toilet facility is near the front gate and is in need of repair and upgrade. The Men's side shower area was 3 stalls with a shared bench and changing area. While all three shower doors had 2 hooks, two of those doors had broken off hooks that had not been replaced rendering them useless. No place to set soap/shampoo. Lights were on a timer and didn't function during the day instead, relying on skylights for lighting. The same could be said of the Women's side of the facility with the addition of a slow drains that cause water to back up on the shower area floor.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
