Group site #D was great! It has its own little drive way and seems more secluded than the rest of the group sites. Other group sites are right on top of each other (A and B) and I wonder where everyone is supposed to park. Water is available at the sites even though it isn't listed as an amenity on Recreation.gov.
Note: During the week or when attendance is low park management closes the restrooms in the group loop due to potential vandalism concerns.

Boy do I have a list for you: First of all the restrooms are in very poor condition and one of the facility is closed due to repairs. The small fishing pier is gone or destroyed, ( I guess due to storms). that needs to be replaced and the larger fishing pier is on its last leg. The amphitheater needs attention as well. I remember going camping at Double Lake numerous times in the past and even though the previous restrooms and showers were much older they were well kept and in good working order. I hope soon these matters will be taking cared of. thank you

Numerous Bathrooms and Showers were closed due to lack of maintenance. There were trailers which looked like they had exceeded their 14 day limit (flat tire, broken pop up).

Double Lakes is our favorite campground. We love the pull-thru sites with full hookups. Taking walks is our way of enjoying the beauty of nature in the park. The park host Craig is so helpful and friendly.
