My family used to go camping here in the 90s when I was young. The campgrounds are exactly how I remembered them, but the fishing is not as good. Besides the fishing, everything is amazing. We arrived with a reserved spot, but when we noticed it was very close to a neighboring spot, we asked to move to a different spot that was open, and the groundskeeper said it was no problem. We enjoyed hanging out at our spot and taking walks around the lake. Note: They discourage bringing your own firewood, so if it’s a cold night, and you need “beefier” logs, be prepared to pay a premium price. $5 got us about 5 scrawny pieces

Despite the cold weather and early Sunday morning rain, I had a fantastic time at Double Lakes. The area was neat and clean and really quiet. Other campers were friendly but not bothersome. The relaxation was just what I needed.

Double Lake is my FAVORITE campground in the area and now I can share it with my children! Bathrooms are clean and beautiful, grounds are stunning, and there are so many campsites with great lake views. I can't wait to return!

It’s a lovely little campground. The sites are in the midst of majestic pine trees, and the little lake is pretty. The campground hosts are very helpful, and the access to the Lone Star Hiking Trail is terrific. I highly recommend taking a long hike in the forest!
