I very much enjoyed the site and being so close to walking trails and the lake. The hosts were extremely friendly and welcoming. Would recommend highly and would like to come stay again.

Our first time here and had a great site we picked out. Other than it being a bit warm, the site was well maintained and quiet at night. Looking forward to going back.

Always a good time here. All park hosts are friendly and accommodating. I wish I could bring DLRA with me when move to Chattanooga TN!

Howdy,
We're new to rv'ing but not to camping. The majority of our camping has been in this Sam Houston national forest and we love it.
Double lake is a real treat because it's the best of both worlds.

We love the woodsy spaciousness of this campground. The lake is awesome, non-motor boats only, quiet. Swimming is allowed. Awesome trail around the lake, biking trails; also in town is nice. A couple times a year they have organized bicycle races. There are sites that have full hookups on one side of the campground and on the other side of the lake are many tent sites with a community water source. In nearby Coldspring, there are a few shops, restaurants and a nice town square with a historic past in the county. On occasion there are car shows and parades with vendors around the square.
