The place

Rec.gov campsite availability grid is not reflective of availability. For more information on reservations, please visit http://fotlanf.org/ 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. Recreation Campers love Twin Lakes for its swimming beaches and lakeside fishing piers. Keep reading

Mill Creek offers native trout fishing, and can be accessed along the Mill Creek Trail. Hiking and backpacking are available along area trails. The Black Cherry National Recreation Interpretative Trail features nearly 40 interpretive displays along its path, and forms the eastern end of the Twin Lakes Trail, the second longest in the forest. Facilities Twin Lakes Campground offers a variety of sites, from group picnic and overnight sites to family sites with and without electric hookups.
