I want to start off by saying I have been camping here for 40+ years and am very disappointed in how this place is being ran. First off the cost. It is $56 a night for a single with electric. It used to be $20 to $25. There is a lack of camp host when needed, I saw maybe 3 or 4 working the whole campground. That explains why the bathrooms are not consistently cleaned and why Vista has purchased several new side by sides to ride. By the way, hearing a side by side early in the morning is not ideal when trying to relax and sleep. During the stay I saw 2 different ice cream trucks driving through the loops with music blaring selling ice cream. Don't get me wrong, I love ice cream, but I don't agree with them driving through selling it when it is supposed to be a quiet campground. The area has gone downhill ever since Vista started running the place. They no longer sell season passes to use the boat ramp so it sits the unused most of the time. I live close to the area and have always used that ramp to contribute to the campground. I am done with this campground until Vista is no longer running it.

This is our 6th year camping at Twin Knobs. Check for rain conditions before you go as the beach may be closed due to flooding. Campsites and grounds were well maintained, bathhouse was not as clean as in the past and sadly the laundry is no longer available at the beach building. Also, the store was not open once this time. They seem short staffed. Will go back because it’s so pretty there. Thankful for lots of locals who pick up trash along the lake’s edge.
