Our visit was fine, but we were very disappointed to find that at least half of the campsites do not have electric or water hookups, making it difficult to reserve a spot. The whole week we were there, several of the loops were empty because of the lack of amenities. There is no playground on the campsite anywhere. It was well kept and clean. The beach was a little disappointing as well. It was mostly dirty gravel, although the grassy slope was a nice are if you were picnicking. The beach by the dam was even worse, very small and very rocky. Not nice at all. The bathrooms and showers were clean, but the water for the showers was scalding hot with no way to adjust the temperature. Also, the sink faucets only stay on for about 3 seconds. Only allowing 6 people per site was not very family friendly in our opinion. There are only 2 vehicles allowed per site, unless you pay and extra $8 per day for and extra parking pass, even though there are extra parking areas throughout the campground. Overall, our stay was fine, but we definitely see where there is room for improvement!

Clean and modern bathrooms. Trees provide privacy. Shoreline bike trail is accessible from camp sites. Enjoyed my stay.

We have camp here for many years, finally were to reserve one the best sites in the campground. We could not enjoy the site due to the Yellow Jackets. They were all over the site. We visited some of the neighboring sites and they were not experiencing the same problem. We brought the issue up with one of the campground staff, his answer was if we could fine the nest they would do something. This new management group is not doing a very good job. None of the campground rules were not enforced. It is a shame, this is a nice campground. I was very disappointed.

We had a great stay at Twin Knobs Campground. The sites were spacious, clean and had a decent amount of privacy with wooded areas between. Loop D was great for our large family camping trip. The bathroom/showers were clean with warm water & great water pressure too. Gate staff were very friendly & the park as a whole was beautiful. My family enjoyed fishing, with several trails that cut though the camp to get to the lake as well as swimming in the beach area. We hope to return again!
