About This Campground
The Saddle Lake Recreation Area was one of four that was associated with flood control lakes built along the Middle Fork of the Anderson River. Saddle Lake once had a fully developed recreation area but now has only a primitive campground, a boat ramp for the lake and a hiking trail.

This camp site is small but nice. Most of the sites are within eye shot of another site, but a couple are more secluded. Nice fire pit, picnic table and lantern hook. Well maintained. It was a short drive or .5 will to the lake and trail around the lake.
