Attention Navigation Software Users!
Please note that some GPS software on the market gives incorrect directions to Blue Lake (often to very tiny dirt roads, rather than East Crystal Lake Road). The Camp’s only entrance is off of Russell Road. If you are on a dirt road at any point, you are going the wrong way! Also, it is not located within the city of Twin Lake—this is simply the mailing address.
