D009 is our favorite site over the years. Great workers.

Suggestions/observations (not complaints)
- this time noticed a lot more trash on the lakefront rocks. Suggest timely cleanup along the lake trail.
- there is a large fallen tree limb high up around the camp site. Looks like a strong wind WILL bring it down. Not good. Sitting at table facing the lake…the tree is off to the left.
- a great improvement would be put some sound proofing around the sewer plant generator…effects multiple potentially prime sites. Counters the noise policy.

Disappointing experience overall. Our site had very little tree coverage and sat very close to the road. There group across from us we're very inconsiderate. The kids and adults were loud and shouting well past 1am. No one was enforcing quiet hours. Their kids rode the bikes into our site early in the morning. We had reserved the site for three nights but after our experience the first night, we decided to pack up and head home after just one. We won't return to Twin Knobs.

On the plus side, the hiking trail was nice and we were able to get our canoe out on the lake easily.

I loved my large and private site at J20. The campground was clean and each loop had access to the lake. There was quite a bit of trash left by the lake which was sad but didn't effect my campground rating.

The sites are well spaced so you aren't right on top of your neighbors and the bathroom facilities were very clean.
