A quiet, clean lakeside campground in Alberta with fishing docks, a day-use area, trails and a bike route to Crimson Lake. Sites can be close together and one camper found no water pumps.
Twin Lakes Campground is a small, tidy campground and day-use area on a pretty lake, and reviewers are close to unanimous in liking it. People describe it as quiet and peaceful, with tall trees, a sandy stretch of waterfront and good dark skies for stargazing. A west-facing day-use spot makes a nice place for an evening fire and sunset.
Campers repeatedly mention how clean the facilities are. Views on the sites vary: some found them large and well spaced, while a recent visitor thought they were small and close together and could hear highway traffic from their site. One camper noted there were no water pumps in the campground, so bring your own water. It's close enough to town for firewood and snacks.
The lake suits paddleboards, kayaks and small tin boats, and there are several docks for fishing. It's not considered great for swimming. There's a good playground, a walking trail around the lake and a mountain-bike trail to Crimson Lake that one family rode with a toddler on board. A large gated group site with its own dock, boat launch and sheltered kitchen can hold a big family gathering, though it has outhouses and no hookups.
There are no low ratings among the reviews. The main things to plan for are water, possible road noise from some sites and limited services at the group site.
