Pat Mayse Sanders Cove Recreations area

Tented 2 nights. Spot A5. Spot was good. Right on the water. Could boat up if you wanted. Nice and shady, even good shade in the direct western sun. Beautiful sunsets! Hike right from camp.

Reason for only 4 stars: toilet pits and bathhouse needs a little TLC. It’s time to clean up the shorelines. And the site ground could use some grass. Tax dollars don’t really help so don’t forget to DONATE!

Boating, grilling, yard games, geocaching and more!

Our family had such an amazing time tent camping on the water!

Due to rain and cloudy weather spent 3 nights for electrical hook up, I have solar system so with long periods of no sun just as easy to plug in and pay versus running generator,I have 2 freezers full of meat's for the winter in South Texas at RV park.

Located on the south shore of Pat Mayse Lake is the beautiful Corps Of Engineer campground Sanders Cove Recreation Area. This three loop campground is nestled among stunning trees and is a wonderful place to RV camp.

With two boat ramps you will have no issues putting your boat in the water. The swim area was kinda dull but better than nothing.

There is a serious fishing tournement held every year, Uncle Jesse Big Bass Classic Fishing Tournament, started by Denver Pyle who played Uncle Jesse on The Dukes of Hazzard fame, Denvers wife continues to hose this tournement in Denvers name today.

We stayed at Sanders Cove for the first time this 4th of July weekend. We were in B loop, site B5. Lots of trees to help keep things shaded. The sites are pretty close together on the interior where we were. Since it was a holiday, everyone around us had multiple vehicles, campers and boats, so there was a lot of “traffic” coming and going (and vehicles parked everywhere). I still prefer state parks for there more spacious sites / privacy, but would definitely camp here again. Gate attendants were friendly and helpful. B loop has a nice group camp section that is set back just off the main B loop, which would be great for families.

This is a great place for the whole family

It is awesome out there it has the best view

We loved our short stop over here. The bathrooms were nice, you have a choice of campground space with the three loops, nicely spaced spots and the lake. It even has a short trail if you hike! We just stayed over night here on the way home from a trip but really enjoyed the views. Comparing it to all of the other spot in the area this is definitely the best and most accessible as it is a short drive from the main hiway.

I’ve camped all around Pat Mayes lake since I was a kid. Sanders Cove is the most up to date facilities on the lake and I believe the only one with showers. The camp hosts are always so very nice and we always have a wonderful time here. The hiking trails are great!

This is a beautiful, well kept campground. The people that work there are real nice. Its real peacefull. This lake doesn't have a marina so there is not too much boat traffic. There are boat ramps and docks. I plan on taking my kayak next time. It looks great for kayaking. The campsites are spacious. Lots of shade trees. Pets are allowed. It is a quit campground. The campground A & G have vault toilets. The shower house is up near the entrance. I believe that loop C has a shower. Loop A does not have a shower but the main restroom and shower is within walking distance. They give you 1/2 price off if you have an Access Pass. From Paris, TX, take HWY 271 north 12 miles to FM 906 W and follow it 1 mile to CR 35920. Turn left into the park following signs.
