Loved our trip to Double Lake! We saw old friends and met new ones. The park hosts were terrific! We will be back again......

Many of the campsites have been restored (replaced old fire rings, new soil laid down to replace what has washed away over the years, etc.). We have been camping here for over 20 years! The lake is small but beautiful. Perfect for smooth water canoeing, kayaking, etc. The camp hosts are very helpful and interactive (just send a text and they respond quickly). There is a side for RVs and groups, and a side for tents, so the tent side is nice and quiet. Also, the camp is imbedded in the Lone Star Hiking Trail, so a couple of hours along the trail is worth doing. And fishing is better than it has been in the past. The fish are small but fun to angle for.

Our experience at Double Lakes was enchanting! The lake is beautiful and serene. The walking trail around the lake was an easy and shady 1 1/2 mi, although their are other trails that are longer and more challenging. And there's plenty of off-road cycling. Bring your kayaks because the water is perfect! Most of the campsites are secluded amongst trees. The hosts, Kathy and Greg, made the experience extra special. They are friendly and knowledgeable. They make sure that everyone has a great experience!
