We stayed mid-week so campground was very quiet. A few things felt like they could use some TLC but overall we enjoyed our stay. We were unable to see many pictures so did not know what to expect. We did not use the restrooms or showers so can't comment on those buildings.

@JorgeB55F49BDE · Camped on May 10, 2025 at Campsite #1

I really appreciated that the camp host came by to check on us as we got there and provided us any information we needed. Great place to camp!

@RichardC284688 · Camped on May 9, 2025 at Campsite #60

We stay at this park several times of the year and we really enjoy our stay each time. The only downside is the poor cell reception which is great for disconnecting from the digital world,

@SueS2549054 · Camped on May 8, 2025 at Campsite #54

Nice place to relax during week, friendly camp hosts, the trail around the lake needs repair but know that takes money, if parents bring kids in that want to play team sports , suggest an area that is away from roads and rv sites

@DorisH2932874 · Camped on May 7, 2025 at Campsite #34

Leeches in the swimming area! Beware! Camp hosts are aware but dont warn the campers. Horrific.

@JashanB6E3C057 · Camped on Apr 25, 2025 at Campsite #14

Directly across the road from a restroom, water access and trail access very clean spot with good room.

@LyndiM21705213 · Camped on Apr 25, 2025 at Campsite #62

The park was clean and the park hosts were friendly. It was nice that the swim area was open. There happened to be an arts and crafts fair with live music on Saturday in Coldspring. It's not every weekend, but check it out.

@MitchellD75609 · Camped on Apr 25, 2025 at Campsite #36

Always a wonderful escape from day to day life. Peaceful and secluded yet close enough for a day trip. great staff, both friendly and helpful. good trails, close to the lone star hiking trail and a lake for canoes or kayaks. very dog friendly.

@PamelaS2519925 · Camped on Apr 17, 2025 at Campsite #48

We had a great time! The staff was so friendly. The bathrooms were the cleanest we've ever seen at a park. This was our second time here. We will definitely return again. Only downside, was all the lilies in the pond, made it hard to fish.

@JessicaH685289 · Camped on Mar 15, 2025 at Campsite #1

Spacious campsite; I couldnt hear music or conversations from neighboring sites. Running water to wash dishes along the main road. Trail around the lake was about 45min walk and very pleasant. The bathroom facility near site 15 was nice but the one near site 6 was closed. We enjoyed the wooded location very much!

@ThomasG8527799 · Camped on Mar 13, 2025 at Campsite #33

Campsites and restrooms are clean. Lake is overgrown with vegetation and fallen dead trees need to be cleaned up along the lake trail.

@RachelS6363728 · Camped on Mar 8, 2025 at Campsite #5

Great area.

@GailS6748838 · Camped on Feb 22, 2025 at Campsite #36

The park isn't as busy in the winter time but they had a couple of very large groups there that left early due to rain. One host said around 180 tent groups with lots of children. Even after the group left I was so impressed with how clean the restrooms were. Of course the facilities are old, but they are very well maintained with the hostess group in place.

@JasonM3591902 · Camped on Feb 17, 2025 at Campsite #2

Lovely campground. My only complaint is that the bathroom closest to my campsite was closed.

@RichardC284688 · Camped on Feb 14, 2025 at Campsite #39

We had a great trip to Double Lakes and really enjoyed our visit. The only negative for this trip was the poor cell service and having to search for and area where our phones would work.

@DanielR3951934 · Camped on Jan 31, 2025 at Campsite #60

Double Lake is a gem within a reasonable drive of Houston. the lake is nice with a foot trail around it and the other mountain bike trails are well maintained and marked. I just hope this secret can stay as it is for many generations to come.

@GregoryM823083 · Camped on Jan 28, 2025 at Campsite #59

Although the weather was dreary it is a nice campground. We hiked the asphalt path around the lake. The bathrooms were clean.

@MeredithH9A4A3 · Camped on Jan 17, 2025 at Campsite #32

This is a really nice campground with a nice walk around the lake on a paved path. Pill through sites are long enough for big rigs. The restrooms were clean. We stayed in site 32 with our 40 5th wheel and we had plenty of room. The site was a full site with a fire ring and table close to trailer. The bathrooms are not a long walk. We saw some deer on our walk as well as a Bittern. We will be back.

@RichardP563677 · Camped on Jan 14, 2025 at Campsite #54

This is our second stay at a National Forest in Texas. The area has a lot of trails and opportunities for biking or hiking Some camp sites has FHU available We were met by a slightly rude Camp host. He had more comments than suggestions. Some trails and campsites were very challenging due to not being level or up keep. The facilities are older and not well maintained

@BrandonC112819 · Camped on Dec 29, 2024 at Campsite #32

We thoroughly enjoyed our camping experience at Site 32 in Double Lake. The site is a large pull through with full hookups, and is relatively level. The site was cleared well for our visit, the bathrooms were in great shape and cleaned regularly, and we enjoyed hiking the trails through the park. The Park Hosts were very friendly, and were able to answer any questions we had about the park.

@EdwardG4063779 · Camped on Dec 28, 2024 at Campsite #54

Very quiet, and the camp hosts were very kind folks

@StephenR879500 · Camped on Dec 20, 2024 at Campsite #D

Beautiful campsite, great facilities. I highly recommend!

@CathyT89B1052D · Camped on Dec 1, 2024

Beautiful day at the park. Well maintained. Friendly people (both employees and hosts). We had SO much fun! If I need to rent a pavilion for a picnic again, I will DEFINITELY come back here.

@Elizabeth6A1F9 · Camped on Nov 29, 2024 at Campsite #46

Campsite in great shape. Bathrooms clean. Hand dryer in bathroom did not work, but paper towels were provided. Would like to have a map of the trails in the area.

@JordanB2827270 · Camped on Nov 26, 2024 at Campsite #46

Best trip ever. The maintenance is so much better this year and will be back next year

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

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.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
