Despite the cold weather and early Sunday morning rain, I had a fantastic time at Double Lakes. The area was neat and clean and really quiet. Other campers were friendly but not bothersome. The relaxation was just what I needed.

My family used to go camping here in the 90s when I was young. The campgrounds are exactly how I remembered them, but the fishing is not as good. Besides the fishing, everything is amazing. We arrived with a reserved spot, but when we noticed it was very close to a neighboring spot, we asked to move to a different spot that was open, and the groundskeeper said it was no problem. We enjoyed hanging out at our spot and taking walks around the lake. Note: They discourage bringing your own firewood, so if it’s a cold night, and you need “beefier” logs, be prepared to pay a premium price. $5 got us about 5 scrawny pieces

Double Lake is my FAVORITE campground in the area and now I can share it with my children! Bathrooms are clean and beautiful, grounds are stunning, and there are so many campsites with great lake views. I can't wait to return!

It’s a lovely little campground. The sites are in the midst of majestic pine trees, and the little lake is pretty. The campground hosts are very helpful, and the access to the Lone Star Hiking Trail is terrific. I highly recommend taking a long hike in the forest!

Wonderful park to camp, hike, bike. Lake is smaller but place to swim and of course fish. Only 1 stall & 1 shower in campground bathrooms which was a bit disappointing but it was clean. Trails are great and easy to get turned around if you phone as a bad GPS (trail maps not very reliable). We will stay here again.

I've been coming to this park for all my life (30 years). It looks better than it has in years! The park hosts have really put in a lot of time and hard work to recover from the drought and pine beetle infestation of years past. Its obviously still in need of funding, but the park is really looking loved again. 💗

Took the family for a week, we hd 3 sites and 4 different families on and off through out the week. Fantastic time and will be going back. The hosts were very nice and also helped to move one of the sites so it was a bit closer to the other 2. Highly recommend. The facilities are clean and WELL maintained and the lake is fantastic to fish in.
