We’ve been camping at Double lake for over 25 years and this was my first time back in about 8 years. It is still a nice place to go that’s close to home but I was a little disappointed about some things. First, I wish they would stock the lake with fish even if it’s catch and release. No one was catching anything but lily pads. There was a host on staff that was very responsive and glad to see they sell ice and fire wood, but years back they would have a park ranger doing activities with the kids. They also used to rent canoes and paddle boats but that is no longer the case. The shower at our bathroom was out of order. Over, we would come back for a short stay.
