Good location. Good walking trails. Would be nice if each camp sight had its own water supply. Bring plenty of water hose.

This was our first stay anywhere in our RV. The rangers were very helpful and made sure we had a great site that was easy to park at. The camp area is not huge but was had all that we needed.

Sanders Cove is a clean and well maintained Corps of Engr. park.
We were in a water and electric camper site in Loop A. Some of the sites might be a bit short for long RVs but they were fine for our 24 ft pull trailer and pickup. We had a nice view of the lake, with pretty sunsets.
The park is only 12 mi North from Paris, TX. We visited downtown Paris on Saturday. I am a Ham Radio operator, and the Main Trading Company store has a great inventory. Other fun places to visit are Swaim's Hardware and 107 Restaurant.

It was a excellent experience just like always, we love Sanders Cove park but this last trip it was great we set up on a great spot where we are 20' from water and 20' from restroom, It was a great experience for the kids riding their bikes in the trails. Dad cooking and fishing whit the rest of the kids.

We were very pleased with the set up of this park. Of course we all base our reviews from what we know and from what we have experienced, it was a very nice park. The one this that needed attention was the bathhouse. It needed some cleaning and probably some additional lighting. It seemed so dark which no one likes when they are using the bathhouse.

I've only been at Sander's Cove in the winter but it is very nice there! Love walking down to the beach and viewing the water.

We were the only campers in the park except for the camp hosts. We stayed here during the major freeze and snowstorm of 2021. The park shut off the water to all sites ( they informed us that the water had been shut off) during freeze to protect the water lines from freezing. After the coldest nights had passed they turned the water back on. The camp hosts were super and checked on us several times during the storm to make sure we were doing ok. Would definitely stay here again!!

Our first time to camp in B loop. We loved the level, paved site. We had a nice view of the lake, and excellent satellite service. Phone service (Sprint) wasn't great. Our biggest disappointment was not in the campground, but other campers. There were SO many dogs running around loose. No one seemed to adhere to the leash ordinance (except us!), so you had to be very careful where you stepped when out walking.
On the weekend, fellow campers had about a dozen kids, and 3 or 4 dogs. We're okay with kids, but so many kept running through our campground, and they were all zooming up and down the road on a motorcycle (teens hauling tots). Again, this isn't a campground issue. I guess it's the downside of camping in off-season when there aren't camp hosts on duty to keep an eye on things.
Site #18 looks to be a perfect spot for backing in a long trailer, by the way.
