I got there right after an ice storm so it was cold. Site was very nice and I plan to go back again and hopefully have better weather. It's a beautiful area.

It was quiet and peaceful. Cheryl and Eugene were very helpful in helping me get my fire started and informing me of my options when I come back.

It's been years since I've visited this park. I have such fond memories of it. I enjoyed my stay, it rained and temp dropped down to 24 degrees, but it was still fun. The trail around the lake needs a little maintenance.

Double Lake Recreational Park is a great campground to bring your family. It has some great hiking trails at the location, and others within a short distance. The campgrounds were well kept, restrooms were kept extremely clean and stocked, and the showers had hot water.
Park hosts Eugene and Cheryl were extremely accommodating and friendly. Checked in with us regularly and were always available if needed.
Would 100% recommend this location to friends and family. Definitely plan on returning for another fun trip with the family!

Guys go to double lake my friends and I had a blast. Clean, orderly campsite that was super close to the lake (4 min walk) and there was a connivence store with firewood nearby (5 min drive). Also a beautiful area with wildlife (deer!).
