This is a great place to camp. There's playgrounds for the kids and beaches to swim in. Very clean with spacious camp sites and very clean well kept bathrooms and the staff are super friendly and helpful. There is a small problem with skunks but it's part of nature and if don't bother them the they won't bother you. If your looking for a close , clean cool campground to go to then definitely check them out.
Twin Lakes is a well-kept campground that's both convenient and safe. A nice place to get away for a few days to be on the lake and out in nature.
This is a great campground and like most Army Corps facilities it is well laid out with mostly water front and water view sites. The facilities are in good shape.
Site #17.... very nice and level. The camp hosts are great friendly folks. The place is family oriented and pet friendly. But the skunks.... what's up with these skunks???
We love this campground. We typically camp in the off season and it’s really nice and quiet. Easy to get in and out. Pretty lots and decent privacy between them.
