We only list amenities a source records. A missing item doesn't mean the campground lacks it, so check with Double Lake Tail Camp before you go.
Double Lake Recreation Area was built in 1937 by the Civilian Conservation Corps and offers a little of everything, including camping, fishing, swimming, picnicking, hiking and simply relaxing in nature. A variety of tent, RV and group campsites are available. Recreation Double Lake is open for fishing year round. Only boats with small electric motors are allowed. A 5-mile hiking trail leads to Big Creek Scenic Area, and there is access to part of the 128-mile Lone Star Hiking Trail. A 20-mile mountain bike trail meanders around the lake. Swimmers can relax on a sandy beach after taking a cool plunge.
