Within Fishlake National Forest, Anderson Meadow Campground provides a compact lakeside setting at high elevation with 10 sites accommodating RVs up to 78 feet. The Forest Service charges $24 per night during the June through September season, with reservations available for this popular spot that tends to book up early.
Access requires navigating rough forest roads where high clearance vehicles work best. The campground sits directly adjacent to Anderson Reservoir, giving most sites immediate water access for fishing. Bryan O. notes "There is a reservoir practically in the campground that is great for some relaxing fishing day or night." Sites range from intimate spots for couples to larger areas that can handle group camping for up to 30 people.
The facility includes vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings, with a camp host maintaining cleanliness throughout the season. Bears frequent the area, and deer commonly walk through campsites. The high elevation provides clear night skies for stargazing. Campers seeking additional options can explore places to camp around Fishlake National Forest, though Anderson Meadow's lakefront positioning and fishing access make it worth the challenging drive for anglers and families returning year after year.
