Cute and Compact

I have camped at Lost Maples many times. The camp site area is kind of small and the sites are all close together.

The tables all have shelters, which is great as there are few trees to give shade. Each site also has a fire ring and water.

When hiking, you are in a great forest. The East Trail goes up onto a ridge with a great view. The West Trail goes through a forest, up a hill and then into a canyon.

On the trails, there are a few composting toilets. They are well marked on the map.

There is a point in a river that widens for people to swim. It's a bit of a hike in, but the only place to swim on hot days.

When hiking, be sure to stay on the trails. If you wander off and a Ranger sees you, they will give you a talking to about it.
