East Twin Recreation Area

East Twin Recreation Area is a family favorite nestled within a maple, birch and hemlock forest on 110-acre East Twin Lake just five miles north of Clam Lake. The campground offers 9 campsites that can accommodate RV’s up to 30 feet. A developed boat ramp, picnic area, drinking water, fishing pier, and vault toilets are available. Each campsite has a parking spur, fire ring, picnic table and tent pad. East Twin Lake and nearby West Twin Lake have a variety of fish including bass, musky, and panfish. Campsites can be reserved online through recreation.gov . A spur trail and township roads open to ATVs link East Twin Recreation Area to the Dead Horse Run Motorized Trail . ATV/UTV use in the campground is prohibited. So, if you like to camp, boat, fish, picnic and be close to ATV trails, then the East Twin recreation area is the place for you.
