Peaceful, Private Campsites

We enjoyed camping at Double Lake.  The campsites are huge and well kept.  I believe all have full hookups.  We had a lakefront site which had a private little path to the lake.  The shore was good for fishing.  There is a trail which goes around the whole lake, and it was such a nice hike we did…

Spacious campground with plenty of trails nearby

We enjoyed a really nice weekend here for our first ever RV camping trip. The RV specific sites have sewer hook ups which was nice for newbies like us. The sites were nicely spaced out except for a few that seemed to be for groups traveling together. Miles and miles of hiking and mountain biking…
