About
US Forest Service campground. The Twin Lakes Campground is a small minimally developed site on the southern edge of the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area and southeast edge of the Eagle Cap Wilderness. The site is popular with visitors wanting to fish on the boardwalks along Twin Lakes or hike and relax during the summer and fall. Trail #1874 takes off from the campground through remnants of an old burn area. Not reservable through Recreation.gov, so plan on first-come, first-served; check with the ranger district for current conditions and fees.
