Why Camp Here
Anderson Cove is the rare Forest Service campground that feels closer to a small resort. Roads and parking spurs are paved throughout, hosts live on site, and a dump station, ice, and firewood are all available without leaving the loop. Toilets are vaults, but each one is lit inside, which matters more than it sounds at 2 am with a kid in tow. The swim beach beside the campground is day use only, so it is not a place to leave gear overnight.
Tip: Weekends are loud and fun. Midweek is a different, quieter reservoir.

- You camp here to be on the water without towing far. Pineview is a minute away, and between volleyball courts, horseshoe pits, and a cafe half a mile down the road, kids stay busy on the days nobody wants to launch a boat. Sites are reservation only through recreation.gov rather than first come.
