Fish Lake was more popular than Twin Lakes. It had bathrooms and what appeared to be potable water. I went on a week day so the first part of the campground was full, but the second part was totally empty. There are camping spots all along the lake’s edge. I stopped at an empty site to go down to the lake and take a quick picture (it isn’t a good picture and it doesn’t do the lake justice). I was in a bit of a rush because a thunderstorm was moving in and I wanted to get back down to where I was planning on camping that night before the storm hit.
I know Fish Lake is popular for fishing. There were people out in canoes and people fishing from the shoreline. I imagine the campground is popular especially on the weekends. It would be a nice place to come back to and fish.
