First visit here, the park is very beautiful and clean, lots of trees which in a lot of sites not very good for starlink, was still able to get some ok mbps. ATT phone service was 1 bar. The sites are decent though sure could use some money for maintenance. One of the quietest park we've visited. Double Lake has a nice 1.3 mi paved trail around it and there are other trails for hiking. Will defiantly come back for more visits.

Restrooms were so clean for a campground, the staff was SO incredibly friendly, the trails were great and the sites were amazing. The only thing that wasn’t awesome was that 95% of the surface of the lake is covered in lily pads so fishing was pretty impossible. If you don’t love to fish, this place is amazing.

Double lake has excellent trail and campsite conditions. The Volunteers also kept a strict quiet policy after 10pm which was refresning!

For being so close to Houston, it feels like you are far enough out to enjoy nature. The night time is quiet and everyone is respectful

We camped during the week. It was a nice peaceful location, with our campsite near the lake. Unfortunately they used the gas powered blower on a Wednesday morning (maybe it's every Wednesday?) which ruined the birding in the morning, but otherwise it was pretty peaceful during the week. The restrooms were clean and showers were ok but the water was lukewarm. Great trails to bike/hike/bird. Lake had a lot of lily pads in it so it was green but still very nice overall. We like this place for biking and come here often.
