The lake at Double Lake is a disaster.because of plant growth taking over the lake. You cant put a small boat in the lake or fish off of the shore. Not a good campout for us and we will not return to this campground until the associated website assures us that the lake has been cleared.

This is one of my go-to campgrounds. It is never very full and therefore nice and quiet. There is also an abundance of wildlife and a great trail around the lake.

Double Lake Recreation Area can be very peaceful or very busy, depending on the season. We enjoyed three very quiet days in early September. The deep shade kept us from being too hot. The swimming area was surprisingly cool. We enjoyed several hikes around the lake and on the Lone Star Trail which runs right through the park.
