About this campground

North Twin Lake Campground is located just north of the South Twin Resort on North Twin Lake. North Twin Lake Campground can accommodate RV, trailer or tent-campers, however, water and electric hookups are not available. Campers will need to bring their own water supply. All sites are equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring with grill and the campground has vault toilets available. North Twin Lake was formed about 20,000 years ago when rising magma encountered groundwater. This resulted in violent steam explosions which formed a broad shallow crater that later filled with water. Nearby peaks, lava flows and old-growth forests provide visitors with a varied landscape.

Located on North Twin Lake, this campground offers a small beach at the shallow end of the lake that is great for wading and swimming. Fishing is also quite popular though motorized boats are prohibited on this body of water.

What campers say

North Twin Lake Campground offers a calm, swim-friendly, no-motor lake that’s well suited to kayaking, paddleboarding and fishing. Campsites are well maintained and many are within easy walking distance of the shore; several lakefront sites are especially desirable. Vault-style toilets are used but are frequently reported very clean, and camp hosts are helpful. A roughly 4‑mile Twin Lakes Loop trail provides easy hiking. Tradeoffs include limited cell service, busy day‑use parking at peak times, and the occasional noisy group or seasonal insects. Pack‑in/pack‑out practices are expected.
