Double Springs Campground

Double Springs Campground is an “old fashion” campground, originally built in the 1930’s, and has sites nestled in a beautiful draw filled with cool grass, ponderosa pine and Gambel oak. The heart of this camp is Double Spring, which runs to the surface just above camp. Wildlife and bird watching are popular activities in this area as they visit the spring. Some of the birds you may see are hawks, northern harriers, an occasional bald eagle and a variety of songbirds. The area also boasts a healthy population of elk and mule deer.

Relax and take in the nostalgia of this historic campground or hike the Lake View Trail (2 miles one way), which starts adjacent to the campground. The trail leads to overlooks providing views of nearby Mormon Lake and the surrounding forests and extinct volcanoes. 

 Wildlife watching is also a popular activity in this area. It's a very good place to see hawks, including northern harriers and ospreys. The area boasts a healthy population of elk and mule deer, too. The scenic village of Mormon Lake is conveniently close, offering horseback rides and mountain bike rentals. You'll also find a country store, service station, and a picturesque cowboy steak house there.

Campground roads and parking spurs are gravel.
