Lost Maples RV and Camping

6 ReviewsAdd Review

Lost Maples RV and Camping operates as a private campground with full hookups and a general store selling gas and diesel. The facility accommodates RVs up to 50 feet with 30 and 50 amp electrical service, plus water and sewer connections at each site. Online reservations streamline the check-in process.

Sites include fire pits and BBQ grills, with open areas that work well for families with children. Clean restrooms and showers receive consistent praise from visitors. The campground sits across the street from a river that provides swimming opportunities when water levels permit. Kevin C. notes the "bathroom and showers are clean and easily accessible."

Hiking trails with moderate difficulty levels feature significant elevation changes and lead through sections of ancient maple trees. These trees reportedly survived from the ice age, creating a distinctive landscape feature. The trails extend up to seven miles and traverse varied terrain types. Fall brings color changes to the maples, while summer offers river access for cooling off.

The campground provides year-round access and allows pets. For those exploring the broader region, campsites around Vanderpool offer additional options. Reserve ahead during peak fall foliage season when demand increases significantly.

Great option

Easy online reservation and once at campsite easy check in. In spot #2 with Winnebago Revel so it's easy parking. Fire pits and BBQ grills at various campsites. Bathroom and showers are clean and easily accessible. 30 and 50amp plug and grey/black tank disposal at each site. River across street for swimming when it has water. Store with gas and diesel onsite too.

Great Destination

Nice campground with water and electricity. Plenty of open space for kids to play. I would classify the hiking trails as moderate. Lots of elevation change but the views are spectacular. Fall is the optimal time to visit to experience fall colors, but plenty of places to swim during the summer.

Best birthday camping experience!

This was a great campground for me as a first time camper. There is a cost to stay there so there is also water & electricity available at the campsites. There are also restrooms & showers as well. A walking distance from the campsite is an amazing trail that takes you through a small section of maple trees. Those maple trees were said to have made it from the ice age! I did a seven mile hike that ascended up different kinds of terrain. I definitly recommend this charming piece of hill country if anyone ever gets a chance to camp here!
