Campsites were clean and no issues with critters or bugs. The lake was close by and had walking trails around it. There was a site with a small dog that seemed to bark non-stop and quite a few other campsites were yelling at them to have the dog be quiet.

The camp ground was amazing and so were the people who ran everything. It was large with a volleyball net, a nice lake, and amazing trails. My group got to the campgrounds late Friday night and wasn't able to check in like we needed with the guardshack, but one of the women that work there came Saturday morning to take care of our vehicle passes (which I also forgot to go Saturday morning to let her know we were there due to getting busy) and she was absolutely AMAZING and so sweet. She wanted to make sure everything was in order based on her job, but she wasn't rude about it and very understanding. I had other experiences at other campgrounds so I was apprehensive when I kept having things come up and couldn't get to the campsite in time to be able to check in Friday. But the people were amazing and the sites were awesome. Very outdoorsy and secluded, especially if you get some of the group campsites. Very much worth the money.

We always enjoy camping at Double Lake. The only drawback is there isn’t any television reception.
