Twin Lakes Camp Resort
HIGHLIGHTS
Camper’s delight. Glamping, RV, tiny house camping on a peninsula surrounded by two lakes. Plenty of fishing, and a boat ramp for each lake.
BETWEEN TWO LAKES
When you pick a campsite for a week, you’re always rolling the dice to some degree. We were confident that wouldn’t be the case with Twin Lakes Camp Resort. So let’s get straight to the point; you need to stay here if the opportunity arises.
Twin Lakes Camp Resort is exactly what it sounds like and more. Nestled between two large lakes, the campground is uniquely positioned. The RV, tiny houses, and glamping canvas cabins are on the main peninsula while more glamping canvas cabins are on the opposite side of the lakes. Between the lakes is an earthen dam that also acts as a walkway between the two areas of the resort. It really is a sight to see for a campground.
"You need to stay here if the opportunity arises."
Unlike so many RV parks that try to pack us in like sardines, Twin Lakes makes great use of the limited space. There are green spaces for both humans and fur babies to play. The lodge has an adjacent field with soccer goals at either end and a catalog of field games. Croquet, frisbees, bocci ball, soccer balls, and some games I’ve never seen before are all available for free use. There is a pool but we did not get the opportunity to use it due to the chilly weather.
Amenities include a recreation room with a large flat-screen TV and DVD collection, billiards table, and kitchenette. Along the multiple docks you’ll find flats boats with outboard motors and kayaks you can rent by the half-day or full-day for reasonable rates. We were situated with an unobstructed view of both lakes, the dam, and beautiful sunsets. Our spot was technically a “buddy” spot which was meant for a single group. On our second day, a couple (Mark & Cindy) in a decked-out Airstream sprinter van joined us and became the buddy occupants we were previously lacking. We shared the campfire and told each other our stories. Perhaps this is the best part of traveling full-time; unexpectedly meeting and making friends with wonderful people in wonderful settings. Going by the handle, NomadsYouAndI, our camp buddies are traveling to 100 churches across the country. You can check out their podcast here or learn more about them at their website.
"We left the campground a total of zero times."
Lucio and Peach made friends each day, some of which became pen pals in the modern sense; Facebook messenger for kids. Our stay lasted a week, of which, we left the campgrounds a total of zero times. It’s really that blissful. During cooler times, like now, a handful of people congregate at the community firepit up by the lodge and enjoy their morning brews. The community, in particular the camp hosts and personnel working hard to keep up the grounds, are absolutely wonderful and helpful people. We found ourselves once again wishing we could stay longer.
