Double Lake Recreation Area

Fantastic campground, great camp hosts. Site #15 was not suitable for my Class B RV, so Host switched me to site #8, much flatter driveway, one of several first-come-first-served non-reservable sites. There are amazing hike/bike trails surrounding this lake. Biked all trails over my 3-day stay. Very peaceful.

Great campground, wonderful camp hosts. Site #1 is extremely sloped, not suited for my Class B RV, so Host got me switched to Site #8 which is flatter and one of a number of first-come-first-served non-reservable sites. There are fantastic hike/bike trails surrounding this lake. Biked all the trails over my 3-day stay. Very peaceful.

Campsite was clean but park needs general maintenance, roads parking lots etc. sites are pretty close together so better be ok with neighbors. Bathrooms were not very clean either.

I went with my teenage daughters...it was only overnight...but, we had a lot of fun.

Great place for our family of 5 with young kids. Plenty of trails to walk and bike on. Definitely recommend bikes to take full advantage of the many trails you can do. Campsite and area was clean. Only downside is the lake is full of overgrowth, but still a fun and easy place to get to.

I dont know how exactly to rate this place. It was relatively clean, although there was not soap in the bathrooms. The fire pits were pretty picked up, but definitely not cleaned out. There is a trail that goes around the "lake" but it is in serious need of repair. There is no way you could get a wheel chair or scooter on the trail. The lake seemed very low, and would be very difficult to fish out of and I am sure my kids wouldnt want to swim in it. From what we heard, the management company is leaving January 1st, and it seems like they have kind of given up on maintaining the place. The cost is higher than what you would pay for a state park, and so for that I would not hesitate to just go to Huntsville State Park if you are in the area and looking for a spot to camp.

Camped with 10,8 and 5 year old in tent. Great spot and campsites are very wooded, which is nice for some privacy. Wood and ice was available and manager was friendly. will go again!

Beautiful area. We have visited for many years and love the beauty and quiet Facilities are quite old and dated. Wish more funds were available for repairs. Will be back again

Campsite 019 is surrounded by tall trees. The driveway holds about 3 cars. There is a handy 6' wood post to hang a lantern. Also, there is a flattened rectangular area that fit two large tents.

The fire pit ring is taller than average. Therefore, it is best to sit on a folding chair rather than a short backpacking chair to catch the heat.

If you are facing 019 from the road then 021 is nearby on the left. The nearest campsite to the right is far away. Behind you is 020 which has a great panoramic water view of Double Lake. The bathroom is a few hundred yards north up the road. It has a heated, push button shower. There's plenty of toilet paper but no soap anywhere.

Recommend hiking on the secluded Lone Star Hiking Trail. It is a 92 mile trail which exits the park so be prepared to double back! We saw deer on the trail and other locations near the lake.

We visited on a very rainy weekend. Thanks to the sandiness of the campsite, drainage was very good and muddy shoes weren't an issue.

Best kept camping secret in Texas. Beautiful private camping areas, peacefully quiet park with gorgeous views and trails. I've been going for 45 years and although I've camped in many places, Double Lakes is still my fave. Craig and the other camp hosts are amazingly kind and helpful. Craig has taken such great care of this park for years and he makes sure everyone is safe and well taken care of.
