Twin Lakes RV & Camping Resort in de Verenigde Staten

We've been here many times and Twin lakes always ranks in our top 10 list. It's a nice park that's always clean and well maintained. Many of the transient sites are pull through and very few narrow. It's big rig friendly and the staff are always fairly pleasant. The noise levels are typical for a nice campground; occasional train in the distance, crazy boater out on the water somewhere, and the odd Marine fighter jet overhead. Nothing to concern anyone except to most audio-sensitive among us. Sites are level, and there's a security gate. The roads are good. We've never been here during the summer, so I don't know what it's like then, but the rest of the year is great. They serve Hershey's Ice Cream at the store, so that's a huge plus in our books, and the typical amenities abound. Fire ring, 50 amps, full hookup, picnic table, pool, game room, and $1 laundry machines. The free WIFI at the clubhouse is good for email and browsing, and the paid WIFI has been very acceptable in previous visits. Verizon is often only 2 bars on my iPhone or iPad, and bandwidth has always been very acceptable in the past. Voice and data connections are great. However, it's October 2022 and the data bandwidth is crazy good! Up to 90mbps on my iPhone 14! Up to 30mbps on my original iPad Pro, and I'm currently using a cheap little hot-spot and getting almost 10mbps down and over 5mb up. If it were like this everywhere, I wouldn't need StarLink! New Bern is an easy distance away with the birth place of Pepsi; a drugstore that's fun to visit. In our opinion, Persimmons is one of the nicest waterside restaurants on the East Coast without the hoity-toity attitude. We go there every time we're in the area. Washington has Backwater Jack's Tiki bar and it also serves good food. Both places are dog friendly with good outside seating. There is a good dog park in Washington and a small but very serviceable dog park in the campground. Washington is quite close (especially once the bridge is done in the summer of 2023) and Greenville is an easy drive away. Plenty of stores and services in both cities. For those who bike, it's a fairly good area with trails within easy driving distance. Once the bridge is finished, biking into Washington will be easy. The road from the campground is kind of narrow, but there's not a lot of traffic outside of shift change and we've never had an issue with the drivers. We plan on selecting a campground as our home base when we retire, and this campground will be on that very short list.

We've been to 12 different Thousand Trails parks, and this has been my favorite so far! The voltage was great, we didn't need to drag out our water softener, and had no issues with the sewer holding tanks filling up (and we do alot of laundry in our camper!). The honey wagon came by several times during our stay. The pools and hot tub were all very clean and well maintained. All the facilities were in great shape. The front desk people were super nice, and responded to concerns immediately. We got a few Amazon orders delivered, and there was no charge for packages. Yay! We stayed for 14 days, including the labor day weekend. It was very peaceful during the week, and the non-holiday weekend. It was packed and very busy over the holiday, but that's totally expected. Everything calmed down before quiet time. I especially enjoyed all the ponds and access to the water! We spent alot of time walking around, and watching the fish jump. We went to nearby Washington, visited breweries, the Estuarium ($5 entry fee, and includes a boat tour if you schedule in advance!), and we saw lots of animals from the boardwalk. It's a cute little waterfront area, and a nice way to spend an afternoon. My only complaint is that the back of our site was super close to the neighbors. Their picnic table was a few feet from our bedroom slide. The sites are pretty long though, so it would be a little better if people parked so they sort of stagger the rigs, instead of lining them up directly next to each other. Some have bigger yard areas than others, but I guess that's part of trying to lay out a campground among the trees! The trees here are beautiful. I'm happy that we're coming back here for another 2 weeks next month!

We stayed 2 nights for free as part of our Thousand Trails membership. Full hookups (50amp, water, sewer). Stayed in site D10. It's a very large campground with mostly permanent residents. The section where we stayed was reserved for nightly/weekly sites. Most of the sites were sand/dirt under tall trees. The ground is a bit unlevel with tree roots but we pretty easily found a good spot. It had been raining so some of the site was a bit soggy and we opted to back in instead of pulling through to avoid some mud at the back. Definitely more of a "camping" style park rather than a "resort" but not bad at all. The pool was closed due to coronavirus restrictions, but we spent our time out by the lakes fishing. A Walmart Supercenter is just 15 minutes up the road in the small town of Washington.

This place was not that great. It is definitly a weekend/party type place. The weekdays were quiet which was nice but the weekends are loud and full of obnoxious types. The bathrooms would be trashed (ex: feces left in the toilet on numerous occasions, toiletries left behind all over bathroom, toothpaste smeared on the mirrors). The bathrooms were actually nice, clean and A/C. But the type of people that would come through just treated everywhere like their garbage can. There was litter all over the ground, the pool area was filled with trash all the time. Empty cans/bottles, broken sunscreen bottles, etc. People were always smoking EVERYWHERE! Even in the fenced in pool area where there are numerous signs that say nonsmoking. There is a shed with pool chemicals that is clearly posted NO SMOKING. People were even smoking IN the pool. It was unfortunate. The main purpose of this place is for boat access. People with boats will love it. The sites do have a cement slab which was nice. Some sites do not have sewer but the employees will come around and pump out your tanks for free whenever requested. The only problem with that is that the tractor is loud and it smells!! The ants are atrocious because of the sandy soil. We had to get two sets of bug sprays since my peppermint and cinnamon oils weren’t enough to combat it. We literally founds hundreds inside our RV. There is a ice cream truck that drives through about three times a week as well as a food truck that is always parked by the pool. We didn’t buy anything but the food truck looked decent. The city of Washington is very cute and worth exploring. The downtown is raight on the river. Overall, I just don’t think this place is really worth the money.

This is what I get for flying by the seat of my pants and not having a cooler with me to stay in a Walmart parking lot. I was trying to get ahead of some spring storms but needed to stop driving. My first choice was booked up for the night. I paid a ridiculous price to attend a party where I didn't know a soul. This is summer camp. Had that been my mood and intention it would have been great - but I was surrounded by three different groups blasting three different genres of music for hours as golf carts whizzed too and fro. I was parked near the "kitchen" which was a tent set up frying everything from pickles to twinkies with the fryer stinking up a large portion of the surrounding area. It was not my idea of relaxing. All of this and no internet, add in some relatively obnoxious ladies working the desk and voila - never again. It gets 2 stars, rather than one because my sight was level and there was a security gate.
