We stayed at Lakeview Campground over the 4th of July weekend, and overall it was an easy, convenient spot. Getting there was a breeze, and the campground host, Rick, was fantastic—super helpful with directions back to Twin Lakes where we did some fishing, and he kept the firewood well stocked ($10/bundle, self-serve with payment to his postbox).
Verizon service worked surprisingly well at our site in Loop B, which was a nice bonus for staying connected. While the campground has loops A through at least G, they’re spread out enough to feel separate, though within each loop some campsites are quite close to one another. We stayed at site 2 in Loop B, and the sparse tree cover made it feel more exposed—probably a result of a past forest fire. The thinner tree line also meant sound traveled easily, and unfortunately, nearby campers (multiple Indian families) kept us up well past the 10pm quiet hours—until around 1 a.m.
The campground had a mix of RVs and tents, which makes it flexible for different setups. Sites have those tall USFS fire rings that can sometimes choke off airflow. Sites also each have those BBQ stands that worked well with charcoal briquets. Mosquitoes were pretty active—everyone in our group who’s popular with bugs went home with a few bites, so don’t forget the deep heavy bug spray. The pit bathrooms were just okay—not the worst, but lacking basics like hand sanitizer and some of them smelled. Some of the deeper loops toward G looked like they offered better views of the lake, so if you can reserve ones in loops later in the alphabet, get it. All in all, it’s a decent base camp if you're looking to explore the Twin Lakes area, just bring earplugs and maybe a citronella candle or two.
