Two Lakes Recreation Area
Two Lakes Recreation Area near Drummond is on the southern part of the Washburn Ranger District. This campground is operated by a concessionaire under a special use permit with the US Forest Service. This popular campground is nestled between Lake Owen and Bass Lake. Campsites are located within red and white pines and mixed hardwoods and many overlook beautiful Lake Owen and Bass Lake. Two Lakes Campground has 94 sites made up of several loops. There are two fee station areas, two swimming beaches, boat launches with parking and a dock on both lakes. Also included is water, vault toilets, an RV dump station, garbage and recycling bins, water craft rentals, and ice for sale at the campground manager’s site. There’s also a one-mile hiking trail around Bass Lake and a paved interior road that is great for bike riding. Fishing is very popular on both lakes year round.
