We love Loop B. There are several things that could be done to improve it.

Sanders Cove needs lots of maintenance, dead tree limbs and trees trimmed and cut. Nothing has been done to clean up the place in years.

Nice camping area. The only complaint I have is the restroom. I know the ones that dont have running water cant smell fabulous but this is ridiculous. They need to be pumped out or something. They smell so bad, you cant stand to walk in there and you can smell them from your campsite!

We liked how clean the park is

we had reservations at PM West, B 31, however due to an electrical problem we had chosen another site. Seems like this is happening EVERY YEAR. We love to go camping there.

Had a very nice time. I rode the mountain bike trail (Barber Hills) challenging. Went fishing in a cove next to our spot, was able to relax and enjoy time with wife.

Good spot

Very friendly staff, clean campground and a beautiful lake.

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.

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 17ft 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.

Should be a rule NO MORE THAN 2 DOGS. Need every dog to have a barking collar also.

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.
@CurtisL7337568 · Camped on Mar 21, 2025 at Campsite #C29
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.

Beautiful campground and very nice staff.
@AnnY9602400 · Camped on Mar 15, 2025 at Campsite #B11
No shower house. Also way too close to your neighbors. Not typical..
@RogerH7061222 · Camped on Mar 14, 2025 at Campsite #A19
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.
@JasonB8429005 · Camped on Mar 6, 2025 at Campsite #C8
lots of trees
@GayP9751C6141D · Camped on Feb 16, 2025 at Campsite #B22
Great location and services.
@TomM3609852 · Camped on Dec 22, 2024 at Campsite #B26
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.

This is a very nice park. It appears that most (if not all) of the pads are level and wider than the state parks norm. The area is open and you can see your neighbor but far enough apart where they shouldn't bother you. We did notice a general lack of trash cans in the park but that could be due to the time we are camping (early December).Water pressure was good and pleasant tasting. The lack of signs made it a little more difficult to locate our site but once around we found it with no difficulty. Overall we had a very nice, quiet stay and will be back.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
