We had a wonderful stay! The campsite was just perfect. We are usually visiting for a day to ride mountain bikes. The marking on the trails are somewhat confusing, it would be great if all the signs had an option for shortest way to parking lot. Sometimes we are riding in circles or away from parking lot which add miles, what is (usually) okay for us. But families with children or riders with cramp will appreciate the option for shortest way out.
We love Double Lake recreation area very much!! And we will definately be back for more camping.

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.

Camped in site 5 of the primitive loop. Beautiful site, well maintained and direct access to a small fishing platform and the walking trail that goes around the lake. Why 4 stars? Multiple non-functional or only partially functional bathroom facilities. I booked site 5 because it is directly across from a bathroom and I didn't want my camping buddy to be walking far in the dark/cold for a midnight potty visit, but it was closed. We drove to the bathrooms by the lodge but they were closed as well. Found open facilities by the campground host which we used for the first day of our trip but having to pack up toiletries and drive to the other side of the campground every time you needed the loo is a pain. The facilities by the beach concession stand are open, we used those until we found the ones up the road from us, by site 18. Great campsite but worrying about how you're going to go to the bathroom definitely puts a damper on a trip! Hoping next time they will all be repaired and open.
