Twin Knobs Campground

We drove from out of state and planned a peaceful camping experience with our extended family/2 trailers. We found a double site that was perfect - isolated with a view of the lake. UNTIL the day after our arrival. The sound of chain saws and commercial wood chipping equipment went on for most of the next three days. We couldn’t carry on normal conversation around the campfire, it was so loud.
We understand normal maintenance might require this equipment but the campground was supposed to close for the season a week after our departure and this should have been scheduled for after the campground closes. The staff at the entrance gate was very helpful in assisting us to find the spot we did and upon our exit when we spoke with them about the noise, we were informed that it was something the US Forest Service was doing and they had no control over it.
I feel that the system is set up to insulate the operator and those running the campground. Who do we file a complaint with/ask for a refund from? The reservation was made through Recreation.gov, the campground is operated by Thousand Trails, the noise was being made by the “US Forest Service“ working in the campground.
Twin Knobs campground has some very nice campsites. And if those responsible for operating and maintaining the campground could coordinate maintenance activities for after the campground closes for the season, it would be a very, very nice place to stay. Sad to say, we did not experience that and were very disappointed.

my experience was great as always we love visiting Cave Run/Twin Knobs spring summer and the fall love our walks around the trails and the evening sunsets are beautiful.

I loved the campsite. It was large a good distance from other sites. The picnic tables and fire pit were well maintained and good size. The bath houses were very nice and well kept. Our site had good access to water, electric and sewer.
I was very surprised to learn that most sites do not have water. If we couldn't get a site with water & electric in the future, we would likely pass to find another campground.

Nice campground with beautiful views of the lake.

Bathrooms were exceptionally clean. Camping sites had plenty of space between each other. Hiking trails and views were good.

Our favorite place to camp. Truly out in the woods, animals all around. All around great campground.

Nice COE campground close to Cave Run Lake. Well maintained by Thousand Trails staff. Friendly and efficient.

We stayed in Loop A and didn't check out any other loops, the sites in A were spaced far enough apart to give a sense of not being crowded and having a camping experience in the woods. Our site was one of only two in the A Loop that had water. No TV reception but internet was good with verizon.

Shower house was really clean.

There were two dump stations, but one was closed due to a clog (rumor). So we sat in line for about 30 minutes.

Perfect! Twin knobs is our favorite campground!

Twin Knobs was clean, quiet and BEAUTIFUL! The campsites were spacious and somewhat secluded; not on top of one another. Each section had a camp host, which is nice. We had site F11, and loved it. It is across from the bathhouses and close to the camp host. Cave Run Lake was a short walk, and was absolutely gorgeous; especially at sunset. I highly recommend Twin Knobs!

We’ll maintained and spacious campsites.
