Double Lake Recreation Area is a beautiful and clean park set in a tranquil wooded environment, ideal for hiking and biking. Campers appreciate the friendly and helpful hosts, well-maintained sites, and clean restrooms. While some facilities need updates and there's limited fishing due to lily pads, the overall experience is positive, making it a popular getaway spot close to Houston.

The campground was wonderful! The sites were spacious and private so it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. Access to mountain biking and hiking trails was awesome.

Beautiful lake with quick access to the Lone Star Trail. The non-electric sites on the west side of the lake are right next to the water and the lake trail. I could see the lake from inside the back of my camper van. Park hosts were friendly and even delivered firewood straight to our campsite at a reasonable price. Only complaint was the lack of Covid-19 signage in the park. Without signs, people simply don't care, and it was disappointing to see people without masks going into public buildings like the bathroom. I just timed my visits to go when they were empty but I shouldn't have had to do that.

We loved Double Lake. The only reason I did not rate higher was because our spot 36 was very unlevel. We did not have enough leveling blocks and had to buy lumber and nail them together to get us leveled. Otherwise, we loved the camp.

My wife and I were hiking the Lone Star Trail and planned an overnight at the park. Additionally, I parked my truck in the park in advance and hiked to the park. We found the husband and wife hosts very accommodating, very friendly, full of information, and very service oriented. The entire park was clean, well groomed, and filled with all the amenities we wanted. Since we were thru-hiking we did not get to spend as much time as we would have liked enjoying the beauty of the park, but we will return!

My wife and I have camped at this park since 2004. The campground has never been in better condition. It is the cleanest National Park we've ever visited. The restrooms are spotless and the shower has hot water. The sites are clean in in excellent repair, the trails are clear of debris and leaf litter and the bridges and board walk are safe to use. The staff are helpful and attentive without being intrusive on the campers.
This is an exemplary campground operation!
