My husband and I have been camping at Double Lakes ever since our kids were little and now we go by ourselves! The campsites are always clean. Our campsite is the only one we’ve ever stayed at and we love it. We can’t wait to go back.

Overall a great park with a nice lake and trails. Small swimming area and a few fishing spots around the lake.

We visited in late May and the campsite was pretty empty. We camped in a tent for two nights. Nice camping pad, water and a toilet were readily available, and the site was under the shade of the beautiful forest. Close by was the lake, and my brother and I especially enjoyed the bike trails. The only thing that rubbed us the wrong way was, when the 'host' came to check us in, and we told him where we were from, he said, "Well, I'm sorry to hear that" - an obviously political diss establishing his conservative persuasion. Not good for a national park. But, hey, it's East Texas. I wholly recommend staying at Double Lake!

On our recent trip, no one was in the check-in station, and if we had not visited the area previously we would have been lost. The roads are narrow and need to be aware of some tight spaces. Our site was great, the only thing missing was waste hookup. If you need this not all sites have this. However, you can pull into any available site to use as a dump station when departing. Never saw a park host until our 3rd day. Beautiful trails, and lakes and wildlife is abundant.
