- 01
The cabins are simple but comfortable. They each have a queen size bed, with all the linens, pillows, and towels provided. They each have a mini-fridge, a microwave, a little porch overlooking the pond and the lodge. There is one parking spot at each cabin.
The cabins do not have private bathrooms. There is a bathhouse, open 24 hours, next to the cabins which is shared. Many guests prefer to shower in the lodge facility and use the bathhouse when the lodge is closed. There are fire rings and picnic table which are shared by the cabin guests.

The travel trailers are very similar to the cabins, they are simple but comfortable. Most of them sleep 4 people, the linens, pillows, and towels are provided. The one advantage of the trailers versus the cabins comes in the summer, since the trailers have their own private baths, small kitchenette, and air conditioning. In the colder months the water is shut off to the RV section and the benefit of having a private bath and kitchen are negated and guests will have to access the lodge for showers and restroom facilities.
Please note, while the trailers do have small kitchens, they are not stocked with cookware/cooking tools. If you plan to cook while you are at TPL you will have to bring your own equipment.

Yes. Cabins and Travel Trailers are priced for double occupancy.
Anyone you invite to the camp must be a member, or must become a member upon arrival.
If you have rented a cabin or a travel trailer the price of the cabin/trailer is for two people. Anyone more than two that joins you must pay for his day pass and then an additional $10 fee to stay overnight.
If you meet someone at the camp who is here on a day pass and you invite him to stay the night, they must register with the office and be added to your cabin, tent site, RV, etc. and they just pay the additional overnight fee of $10.
If you are here and you are on social media or a networking app and you invite someone to join you in your cabin, that person must join as a member. No one can be on the property who is not a member.
You cannot get on Grindr after the lodge closes and invite someone to join you. Once the lodge closes there is no way to verify someone's membership.

Yes, pets are welcome at TPL. In fact, the dogs that come to TPL regularly love it here and we think they have just as much fun as their owners. You can have your pets in certain cabins/trailers or at your tent site. When booking a stay, indicate that you have a pet and the system will only show you pet approved options.
In 2025 we are adding a pet cleaning fee to stays in FEMA trailers or cabins. We have found that units that have had a pet stay over take an hour longer to clean, slip covers need to be washed, etc. If you are booking a cabin or one of the FEMA trailers that allow pets, there will be a $25 fee added to your stay. The Pet Cleaning Fee only applies to stays in cabins or one of our Trailers.
When booking your stay, if there are no pet friendly lodgings available, give us a call. In certain situations we may be able to make exceptions to give you more options.
Pets are not allowed inside the lodge building. There are some commonsense rules regarding your pets. We do not require that they be leashed, however if your pet is not well socialized with people or with other dogs, a leash might be a good idea. You must supervise your pet when it is not confined. You must clean up after your pet. Your pet can not interfere with any other members enjoyment, so no excessive barking or jumping on people. If your dog is not used to this type of environment, keeping them on a leash might be a good idea until they are acclimated.
Service dogs are welcome everywhere at Twin Ponds Lodge, inside and out. While inside the lodge, service dogs must be tethered.

Cabins do not have kitchens. They each have a refrigerator and a microwave.
The trailers do have kitchens, including a range, refrigerator, microwave, oven, and a kitchen sink. They do not however come equipped with cookware, cooking tools, or coffee makers. If you plan to do any cooking while in the trailers you will want to bring your tools with you.
In the shoulder seasons, before May 1st or after October 1st the water is turned off to the RV section of the campground. Therefore, the kitchens in the travel trailers are unusable.
- 06
WiFi, yes and no. We have WiFi inside the lodge building for guests to log into. We have separate, dedicated WiFi in the cabins for guest staying there. There is no WiFi service outside in the camping area, nor does our signal reach all the way to the RV area.
Cell service can be really good or really bad depending on who your carrier is. AT&T and any provider who uses their lines, seems to work really well here. If you use Verizon you will have a hard time connecting when not using the WiFi.
- 07
The cabins and the FEMA trailers are all air-conditioned in the summer and they have heat in the colder months.
- 08
There are bathrooms, lockers, and showers inside the lodge.
Out side we have two small bathhouses, one is at the front of the property near the cabins. The second one is adjacent to the main tenting area. These small bathhouses each have one shower, one toilet and one sink.
The small bathhouses are open 24/7 in season.
The lodge bathrooms close when the lodge closes at 9:00pm during the week.
On Weekends we keep the lodge bathroom accessible 24 hours, however, the showers are not accessible after hours as they are attached to the pool area, which must be closed.
- 09
Most of our lodging will sleep up to 4 people, unless otherwise indicated. (never tents are limited to 2) Tent sites can sleep quite a few people.
If you are coming with a group, on the booking page indicate "2 adults" that is enough to reserve your lodging. If you actually have more then 2 people, when you arrive, we will check in your additional guests. Additional guests always pay for a day pass plus $10 for their overnight stay.
You can have two tents at a campsite, so, if you have 4 or 5 people coming up together you can book one site, it still costs about the same per person. This is helpful on weekends when it seems everything is booked or your group can not find two campsites next to each other.
