The camping area was recently updated with new fire pits. Overall was clean and very nice camp sites. No water in the twin lake... or or was just mucky. We enjoyed the camping a lot.

We stayed 2 nights. We couldn’t start a fire and weren’t notified beforehand. It was ok.

Twin lakes was a great place to camp. There were a lot of options for tents, it was very shaded, and quiet. The atv learner loop was also a big hit. We will definitely come back again

We had a great time staying here. I would probably stay here again. It is nice to have a few days without service to really unplug and enjoy nature. It was a very pretty, wooded area with a couple trail heads for hiking. The lake was also a cool little spot, I definitely wouldn’t swim in it but it was a fantastic fishing spot. The campsite was great as well, fun little area and spacious for 6 people + a big dog. Had good shade and the fire pit area was clean. I will say the downsides were the immense amount of flies and the few cow pies from the Cows that roamed around.

Excellent site, fit our 25' toy hauler perfectly. Site was clean, well maintained. We were the only ones there during the week and it was so peaceful. ATV practice loop was fun. Great access to the SxS from the campground. Intermittent 5G and 2 bars LTE with t-mobile but NOT at the site. Group site across from host and the trailhead would randomly get service. But we wanted to get away!

Well. It’s called twin lake. And when I pull up the app w limited service whilst in mammoth it’s pretty misleading. Would be great to differentiate. Didn’t want to go to bridgeport
