Twin Lakes

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Free drive-in camping on BLM land near two fishing lakes, Twin Lakes requires a Washington Discover Pass and has a 14-day stay limit. The access road down to the lakeside sites is steep and winding, and reviewers advise keeping rigs to 25 feet or under since turnaround is difficult. Cell service drops out completely at the lake. Vault toilets are on-site. Anglers report decent fishing for smaller fish. Campers with larger setups may want to consider Coffeepot Lake as a more accessible alternative with its own boat launch.

A scenic free camping area near lakes with good fishing opportunities. Several guests noted limited cell reception at lakeside sites and steep access roads that may challenge larger RVs over 25 feet.

Remote fishing and wildlife location

This is a gorgeous camping area. A Washington Discover Pass is required. 14 day max stay. But once you drive down to the lake/camp sites there is ZERO cell reception. I’m camping at the top of the trail which has a few spots for those with RV’s. The road that leads down to the lake/camping area is steep and winding. I would not suggest anything over 25 foot length try to go down because you may not get back up. If you’re pulling a car or trailer you’ll want to be mindful. But many trucks pulling aluminum boats drive down to the boat launch that goes to the upper lake.

There is a second site about 22 minutes away (coffee pot recreation site) that is more accessible friendly for larger rigs and setups and a boat launch to the lower lake.

Labor Day 2020

We went camping here on Labor Day 2020, the campsite is fairly nice, although there is no shade. The pictures that are uploaded must be from a long time ago. The campsite ended up being full, so we camped on top of the ridge and rode mini bikes around the fields. Not many trails to drive on. Fairly good in fishing for smaller fish.
