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!

Not a place we will likely come back to. Needs some TLC at sites and around the grounds. Everything was a bit soft and saturated. Felt like we were right on top of neighbors. Lots of long term rentals there.
