Twin Lakes Campground is located near a small, spring-fed, trout-stocked lake, popular with families. Visitors enjoy fishing, swimming and exploring local trails, including the Twin Lakes Trail.  The campground was once the site of a chemical factory, and the lake was built as a "splash dam" to raise water levels in a plant downstream.
