Our campsite was nice, not too close to any others, so we had some privacy. There isn't much in the way of activities for kids (playgrounds, etc.) except for what you bring yourself. Overall though we had a good time.

Great little park, quiet, clean, and spacious. Also right outside of cold springs with little restaurants, and coffee shops near by.

First-ever camping trip for my boys. Beautiful location. Fishing was easy for first-timers. In a pinch, firewood vendors and gas stations are close to the park entrance.The park rangers I encountered were excellent and very helpful. We will be back next month

Everything was pretty wonderful. The trails were nice, the restrooms were clean, our camp hosts were very friendly and informative. One of the womens showers had quit working and they were already in the works of having it fixed. The lake was such a beautiful site.
@jordanl1150205 · Camped on Nov 25, 2025 at Campsite #46
Best place to go camping in a tent or a RV.
@KimberlyH57940 · Camped on Nov 22, 2025 at Campsite #33
Great campsite!
@CampbellL090BE · Camped on Nov 16, 2025 at Campsite #41
Hosts were great. Trails awesome. Online pay time limits a hassle; in- person pay only in cash outdated nowadays, particularly when places unstaffed. Maybe give hosts mobile payment system or change online payments policies. Also, which sites are pad-only or open use unclear and two-tent rule arbitrary. Seems to assume campers only use large family tents?Still, great recreation area near Houston and well located for outdoor fun!

The park was super clean and shaded. We enjoyed our stay very much.
@DudleyPFA9B520 · Camped on Nov 12, 2025 at Campsite #1
Was nice way to enjoy outdoors!!! The park needs updates!! But all good. Been going for year! As a kid with parents 50+ years!! A great place to recharge. Thanks!!

Campsites were clean and no issues with critters or bugs. The lake was close by and had walking trails around it. There was a site with a small dog that seemed to bark non-stop and quite a few other campsites were yelling at them to have the dog be quiet.

The camp ground was amazing and so were the people who ran everything. It was large with a volleyball net, a nice lake, and amazing trails. My group got to the campgrounds late Friday night and wasn't able to check in like we needed with the guardshack, but one of the women that work there came Saturday morning to take care of our vehicle passes (which I also forgot to go Saturday morning to let her know we were there due to getting busy) and she was absolutely AMAZING and so sweet. She wanted to make sure everything was in order based on her job, but she wasn't rude about it and very understanding. I had other experiences at other campgrounds so I was apprehensive when I kept having things come up and couldn't get to the campsite in time to be able to check in Friday. But the people were amazing and the sites were awesome. Very outdoorsy and secluded, especially if you get some of the group campsites. Very much worth the money.

We hope to enjoy the campgrounds year after year. Protect our public lands!!
@BenW9089063 · Camped on Oct 16, 2025 at Campsite #32
One of our favorite places to camp! This is our third trip to Double Lake. Sites and bathrooms are well-kept, and the camp hosts are welcoming. Trails showcase a variety of things to look at. Make sure you firmly close up all food containers before you go to bed! The raccoons are well-fed little guys. lol
@EricM3719593 · Camped on Oct 16, 2025 at Campsite #5
Enjoyed site 5. The restroom is permanently closed at that location. Next restroom is several sites down.
@EricV1462766 · Camped on Oct 10, 2025 at Campsite #43
The park is very clean and peaceful. All the camp hosts are great, very friendly and welcoming. We are definitely going back.
@RyanS4713424 · Camped on Oct 3, 2025 at Campsite #19
We had a good time but they should spend money on the upkeep on the lake it looks terrible and abandoned.
@Elizabeth39763 · Camped on Oct 2, 2025 at Campsite #5
Such a beautiful place. Campsites have trees between themwhich create privacy. The lake is wonderful for fishing, and the swimming hole is great fun for the kids when its open. Hiking around the lake is lovely, and riding mountain bikes on the bike trail is always a hit.
@RobertL7452920 · Camped on Sep 28, 2025 at Campsite #5
When I was young I came to this park as a Boy Scout. Then my father and I would come camp here, and countless day trips to fish the lake. So I wanted to bring my kids to experience this park. The campsites are just as I remembered, big and quiet. Perfect tent sites. But. The restroom that was closest to our site was closed. Its been closed for sometime now. Not a deal breaker. But. The lake itself was horrible. Couldnt fish because its all grown up with weeds. The only open water was out in the middle and inaccessible. Also we couldnt swim. The water had bacteria and leaches. Totally a let down. When the lake is the star of the show and you cant do anything with it its just a sad sad thing they let this lake get to this condition. And not receiving money to do anything about it. Just sad. Very sad.

Double Lakes is a wonderful place to camp. Trails and lake views are very nice. Private spots and lots of quiet.
@GingerP6B02A18 · Camped on Sep 12, 2025 at Campsite #5
Friendly camp host. Site was just as expected. Great scenic hiking. Can't wait for the swimming area to open!
@SydneyH8901746 · Camped on Sep 12, 2025 at Campsite #34
The camp hosts were very helpful and friendly, we really enjoyed our stay here. We plan on returning at the first opportunity we have.
@JustinK8383191 · Camped on Sep 7, 2025 at Campsite #62
Beautiful and peaceful! Very clean and friendly camp hosts!
@TraceyB7FB84F1 · Camped on Aug 11, 2025 at Campsite #43
Love the park. Camp hosts are amazing. Sites have plenty of shade to help beat the heat. Bike trails are not for faint at heart but fun. One of my favorite parks.
@CurtisH2683445 · Camped on Jul 10, 2025 at Campsite #55
First time here and was very disappointed in the shape of the lake and grounds poison ivy and oak all along the hiking trails and a stray cat living in the woods kept stealing are food the lake needs so much attention...
@CristalGCD2689 · Camped on Jul 4, 2025 at Campsite #43
Beautiful trail. Campsite was clean and host was nice. Restrooms well kept and we had a great holiday stay here.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
