Anthony Lake Tent Campground
The Anthony Lakes Tent Campground is situated on the southern end of Anthony Lake. Since the campsites are adjacent to the lake, they have easy access to lakeside activities and offer spectacular views of Gunsight Peak and the Elkhorn Mountains. Access for bringing in gear and tents is limited to 'walk-in only' along the lake shore trail. No vehicles are allowed near the campsites. The campsites are not accessible for persons with disabilities. Popular activities include fishing, canoeing, day hiking, photography and just relaxing.
