Definitely worth a trip! Very hot in the summer with not a lot of shade, at night you can see so many stars and meteors. Excellent for watching meteor showers. Super packed.

Lost creek campground is a really great campground. It's a little bit out of the way and the road leading up to it is a small gravel road that has some serious potholes, but we had no trouble getting there in our car. It is about halfway up the mountain in a heavily forested area. Beautiful views, and it's situated so that most of the campsites are right on the creek. There is no electricity, but there are well maintained restrooms and the campsites were clean and cleared out nicely. Great hiking trails, overall a nice little campground. Absolutely no cell phone service.

We followed directions to this campground but had a hard time actually finding it.  We ended up staying in a dispersed site near a fire road just before the site b/c it was so pretty there.  

The road is curvy and takes you up high onto the ridge.  

The creek is beautiful and there are many trails back there to hike.

We enjoyed the views from the ridge of the valley. Pure beauty!
