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!

This place is great for so many reasons. You can access the lone star trail, there are campsites on the water, and paddle out into the small lake. I didn't even bring a bike with me this last time, but there are lots of bike trails too. I took a friend there this past weekend for her first time camping ever, it was lovely and she had so much fun. I'm bringing my husband back with me in December now that I know more about the park and which sites are the best. Only an hour from where we live and it was like being in another state entirely! Beautiful tall trees and cool, dry weather.

Wonderful well maintained campground. Clean bathrooms and showers. Quiet. Miles and miles of biking and hiking trails. This is worth multiple visits. Some camp sites were too close to each other, so choose wisely. Cell service was minimal, but I consider that a plus.
