The shower and bathrooms very nice. The fire wood from the campground would not light. It had not cured so a waste of $8. Beach was nice, water is very warm unless ur out on the lake. Then it is nice and cool.

Great location for summer get-away. Boating and fishing were great fun! Campsites are well spaced for lots of privacy. About half the sites have electricity and the rest are primitive. Each loop has several water access points but no campsite water (except for hosts). Two dump stations near campground entrance. A sand & dirt "beach" is available on the lake along with 4 boat launch ramps. Poison ivy is prolific so stay on middle of the trails!

I love Twin Knobs campground! Had a great time!
However got stuck in a long line getting in the campground, multiple times throughout my stay, because the second lane at the gate entrance was blocked with a cone.
