Twin Lakes Fishing & Camping
Overview
Overview
Twin Lakes Fishing & Camping in Hawthorne, Florida provides a classic North-Central Florida setting centered around aquatic recreation and quiet campsites. Situated in Putnam County, this property draws travelers seeking a slower-paced stay surrounded by the natural lakes and pine forests characteristic of the region. Visitors arrive here expecting straightforward outdoor living rather than modern resort frills.
Location & Surroundings
Positioned near the intersection of U.S. Route 301 and State Road 20, the area features flat terrain, sandy soils, and a humid subtropical climate. Travelers typically access the region from Gainesville to the northwest or Palatka to the north. The landscape is dominated by cypress swamps, oak hammocks, and numerous freshwater bodies that define this part of Florida.
Amenities & Park Features
Because specific property amenities are not publicly detailed, travelers should contact the park directly to confirm details before arrival. Guests should verify essential infrastructure such as electric hookups, water pressure, waste disposal options, and site dimensions to ensure compatibility with their specific rig length and towing setup.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The surrounding region serves as a prime destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Anglers and boaters frequently visit nearby Orange Lake and Lochloosa Lake for largemouth bass fishing. Additionally, drivers can easily reach the Ocala National Forest to the south for miles of hiking trails, off-highway vehicle tracks, and scenic freshwater springs.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination suits anglers, road-trippers, and outdoor travelers who prioritize fishing access over urban conveniences. It works well for those navigating backroads between Jacksonville and Orlando who want a quiet basecamp removed from major interstate traffic and coastal tourist crowds.

Was looking for a Public Fishing location. There advertising said not open to the Public. A bummer.

Funky old world Florida on Cross Creek and a lake. Pros: friendly residents, free canoes, clean shower, and single washer and dryer worked great. Cons: parked next to a rusted broken down trailer and 1/2 mile dirt bumpy road to get in off the highway. It’s a fishing camp and would have been better in good weather.
