What campers say

Lost Creek Campground offers a scenic, peaceful mountain setting with a clear creek and lake for fishing and cold swims, memorable sunrises/sunsets, and both standard tent sites and seasonal glamping tents. Camp hosts are frequently praised as friendly and accommodating. Expect primitive amenities: vault/pit toilets, potable water and a fill station near the entrance, limited running water at sites, and buggy conditions at times. Roads and some site turns can be rough or tight for larger trailers, and a few sites sit close to the creek and may be muddy or uneven. Weigh the beautiful setting against these rustic trade-offs.
