Stay Lakeside at Twin Lakes Camp Resort

Set on the peninsula between Holley Lake and King Lake, Twin Lakes Camp Resort is made for travelers who want the peaceful feeling of Walton County camping with a few extra comforts close at hand.

The resort’s newly renovated facilities include:

55 full hook-up RV sites
Five cabin suites
Two glamping tents
An activity center and event venue
A swimming pool
An open pavilion
A’Lure Boutique Camp Store
A bathhouse and laundry room

For RV travelers, Twin Lakes offers both pull-through and back-in sites with scenic lake views. The resort is also conveniently located near I-10, making it easy to reach without feeling like you are camping beside highway noise. Once you arrive, you will find gated access, Wi-Fi, cable TV and a relaxed setting that makes it easy to settle in for the weekend.

For visitors who prefer a little more convenience, the cabin suites and glamping tents are an easy way to enjoy the outdoors without giving up the comfy details. Wake up near the water, sip coffee slowly and spend the morning deciding whether the day calls for a kayak, a fishing pole or absolutely nothing at all.

What to Pack for a Walton County Camping Weekend

What should you pack for a camping trip in Florida? The beauty of a glamping getaway is that you don’t have to overpack. Bring the basics, then let the setting do the rest.

For a comfortable weekend, pack:

Casual layers
Walking shoes
A swimsuit
Sunglasses
Sunscreen
Bug spray
A hat for time on the water

If you plan to fish, bring your gear and make use of the resort’s docks, boat launches and fish cleaning stations. For slow mornings and intimate evenings, add a good book, a deck of cards, your favorite snacks and a sweatshirt for sitting around the firepit after sunset.

Plan simple meals or snacks that can be enjoyed outside. Think breakfast by the lake, sandwiches after kayaking and s’mores or drinks for campfire evenings. The resort’s grills and firepits make it easy to lean into the classic camping feel, even if you are sleeping in comfort.

Spend the Day on the Water

A full day at Twin Lakes can be as active or as easygoing as you want it to be.

Start with a slow breakfast, then head out for a morning paddle. Kayaks are available to rent, with half-day rentals at $20 and full-day rentals at $30 according to the resort's official pricing page. For a more leisurely ride, rent a Pondtoon for $50 for a half day or $80 for a full day and spend a few hours cruising the lake.

Freshwater fishing is another easy way to spend the day. Cast from the docks, launch a boat or simply enjoy the quiet rhythm of being by the water. With fish cleaning stations conveniently located on-site, it is a great setup for guests who want to make fishing part of the weekend.

Not in the mood for an activity-filled day? Claim a spot by the lake, relax in an ENO-style swing, take a dip in the pool or check the resort’s planned activity calendar to see what is happening during your stay. A relaxing weekend here does not need a packed itinerary.

Head Downtown for Dinner

After a day of lake time, clean up and make your way into downtown DeFuniak Springs for dinner at Iron & Grape. It’s the kind of evening stop that turns a Walton County camping weekend into a full getaway, especially if you are looking for a relaxed but memorable meal after a day outdoors.

Reservations are a good idea, but if there is a wait, make the most of it with a visit to Last Stop Brew Vault nearby. Grab a drink, enjoy the laid-back downtown atmosphere and ease into the evening before dinner.

A Peaceful Getaway That Works for Any Kind of Traveler

Part of what makes this weekend getaway to DeFuniak Springs so appealing is how flexible it is.

For couples, a romantic camping getaway offers quiet lake views, cozy glamping accommodations and an easy dinner date downtown. For families, there is room to spread out, plenty of outdoor activities and simple ways to keep everyone entertained without overplanning. For a girls’ weekend, it’s low-key, scenic and easy to customize around relaxing, paddling, shopping the camp store and enjoying dinner and drinks downtown.

At Twin Lakes Camp Resort, the pace naturally slows. Mornings begin by the water. Afternoons can be spent kayaking, fishing, swimming or lounging. Evenings end around a fire pit or with a meal in downtown DeFuniak Springs.
