This is a review of the general store and marina area. We did not stay in the campground here…read more I've been following Twin Lakes Resort on social media for sometime now due to the epic community and mountain culture they've cultivated here over the years. It's a place with real roots. Families make traditions of coming here and I can see why. Many of the lakes in the Sierra are hard to access due to limited development and parking, but Twin Lakes has struck the right balance offering opportunities for day trippers and campers the like. Coming up from the valley below the lakes, I never imagined there'd be quite the lively "town center" we came upon. The general store is clearly a central gathering place where fish stories are swapped and visitors can stock up on basics, grab a bite or a bloody marry, and snag all the local intel and tackle they'll need to catch a big one in the waters directly across the street. Unlike the other small stores I visited, the staff here was GOLD! They were incredibly friendly, full of info, engaging and welcoming too! Our kids got to participate in a scavenger hunt and after finishing it got to choose rad prizes. The merchandise in the store is also AMAZING! I decided I'd buy a hat or shirt after I get my first big trout out of the lakes. They also offer boat rentals at the marina with everything from kayaks and SUP to larger pontoon boats. We had hoped to rent a pontoon for the day but got there a bit later in the day and missed out. Apparently you can reserve online (I must've missed the link when looking) and the rates are super reasonable (less than $300 for the day on a pontoon for up to 8). It kind of worked out because the wind kicked up and that would've likely ended our day on the water, but I'd love to do a half day starting in the morning! This isn't a secret of any kind, but it's somewhere more folks from the Reno area need to explore.

People were respectful of the 10pm lights out so by the tine we went to bed there weren't any foot traffic -- there really wasn't much at all in the day either. We were able to make a reservation but when we got there at 12pm there were plenty of spots around (we did go middle of the week though.) There's fire-pits and a grill at each site. For #3, one 3-4 tent and a 1-2 person one fit. A picnic bench and a bear locker for each site too. The creek was a quick walk away and fun to sit in the edge and watch the water. Bit too cold for end of April to go in though.

It starts on the drive in. The panoramic views of the valley are breathtaking and the mountains so impressive that their scale is felt on first sight. That feeling only grows as you get closer until they surround and you realize how truly massive they are. The lakes are equally beautiful and breathtaking. Clear and cold water flows from the mountain into the two lakes. The local conservation organizations make sure this area stays clean and filled with fish, making this a fantastic angling destination. We enjoyed the shores of Upper Twin Lakes this Memorial Day weekend and found plenty of places to set up for the afternoon. Parking was a little tricky, so just prepare for that and a walk from the car with your things to ensure a fantastic time. The water in May was quite cold and shallow a ways out, so waders are recommended for anyone who wants to fish from shore, though there were many who were successful without them. All in all, this is a rad area to explore with lots of camping options around. I'm looking forward to another visit soon.

There is a sizeable bear container, picnic table and fire pit with a grill but I would recommend bringing your own wood as the campground offerings are expensive. Restrooms were as clean as they could be There are no campsites on the lake, but it's a short walk to get down to it and what an amazing place it is! Small, it would probably only take half an hour to walk around, and loaded with rainbow trout. There is also a beaver lodge and we were thoroughly entertained by three of it's inhabitants through the evening. There was also a young buck in velvet that was hanging out lakeside both in the evening and the early morning. And his little doe friend hopped right through the campground at one point! We ate breakfast at the Virginia Lakes Resort restaurant and while the food was simple, it was good. And it was nice not to have to worry about cooking and cleaning at the campsite! The restaurant also serves lunch and dinner as well as beverages to stay or to go (Sierra Nevada on tap). Little Virginia and Big Virginia are both drive-up lakes, and they were VERY crowded by shore fishermen, boaters and float tubers. No motors here, but row boats were available for rent at the resort. There are some easily-accessible high-elevation lakes just above Big Virginia but you'll have to bring your own map, as the Wilderness offers no signs of guidance...and i'm not giving much more away as the upper lakes were a nice, quiet retreat from the madness below :)

You can park in the day use area if you're just doing a day hike but if you plan on doing backcountry camping, you'll need to pay them the $10 bucks to leave your car overnight. That $10 will buy you up to 7 days of parking. Follow the road between the maze of tents and motor homes until you reach the sign that marks the official beginning of the trail to Barney Lake. Take that trail roughly 4 miles up and you'll find it. It's simply gorgeous and an amazing view up there. From here, you can turn around and head back or continue up the trail to Robinson Lakes, Crown Lake, Snow Lake, and eventually, Yosemite National Park. The trail is very easy to follow and is mostly on an even level. There's switchbacks towards the end as you near the lake, but they're not bad incline wise. From car to lake and back to the car, it's just a hair over 9 miles. This is one of my favorite hikes in the area and I do it at least once or twice every season. Just please be respectful and leave no trace. Also, this area is known to be popular with Bears. I've personally never seen one here, but a lot of others have. That being said, you have nothing to be fearful of. If you do come across one, give it plenty of room and respect and you'll be fine and for god's sake DON'T FEED THEM! Or any wildlife for that matter. You have no idea how many moronic tourist I yell at for feeding squirrels and deer. Lol.
