Our group stayed in spots 51 & 53. They had hookups for an RV including two 110V outlets (like you have in your house) which was very convenient for us as there was a burn ban when we went. We were able to bring an elecric griddle to cook our meals because of that. They have several bathrooms located on the campgrounds. The one close to us had showers as well with hot water! They clean them twice a day. Would recommend.

I really liked our stay at Double Lake. The campsites were a little close to each other, but they were really beautiful. Lots of tree cover. The hiking and bike trails were very well maintained, and the warm showers were super nice after a day on the trails. The park staff was awesome, and the facilities were clean. And if you have a hankering, there's a coffee shop not too far down the road from the entrance. We stayed in I believe site 21. Cellular data signal wasn't great, but SMS worked fine and we were able to make and receive calls without issue. All in all, it was quite enjoyable and we will be back.

This is a nice park with good hiking and biking trails. But it needs some maintenance, on of the restroom buildings was closed and it was a bit inconvenient while camping.
