Great trip, the website should be updated to reflect that there is no campfire or charcoal grill ban at the campsite.

I am a mountain biker so the trails are the main reason I camp at Double Lake. They are well laid out and stay in great condition. The restrooms/showers are always very clean. The campsite itself was also empty of fallen leaves creating a nice clean hang out area. The hosts are friendly and on this trip repaired a leaky faucet after dark. The nearby town of Coldspring has a nice little grocery store (Brookshire Brothers) so you can either bring your own food or pick things up locally so you don't have to transport everything from home.

The facilities were well cared for. The host and park manager were very helpful and friendly. We have been camping there for 22 years now. As always very quiet and peaceful.
