About

National Forest

Willamette National Forest

Overview

After a fun filled day exploring the area, relax and fall asleep to the sound of the babbling Lost Creek at this secluded and quiet Group site that's made up of 12 sites. Towering Douglas fir and cedar trees surround this small, rustic and compact campground. The campground___s name was derived from "Girl of the Limberlost," a classic novel by American writer and naturalist, Gene Stratton-Porter. The campground offers vault toilets and garbage service. Each campsite includes a fire ring and picnic table. There is no drinking water available at the campground. Firewood is available at Olallie Campground. Hikers, swimmers, and anglers alike will delight with nearby Three Sisters Wilderness Area, Mt. Washington Wilderness, and Lost Creek. Those interested in relaxing will enjoy a soak in nearby Belknap Hot Springs. If you have an interest in biking, several trails outside of the Wilderness areas are available.

Super quiet, shaded and clean

This is a nice, quiet, and secluded feeling campsite. Though it’s near the 242, the road is not busy. Mostly used by bicycles and during a good chunk of the year there’s a snow gate blocking further up. Shade throughout the day, whispering rapids through the bushes, beautiful sky at night. I wish that there was a little more access to hang around the water, but otherwise it’s a great site. Campsite 10 is tucked away from the others and a short walk to the restrooms, which are just pit toilets. If you fancy going for a short drive further east down the 242 you’ll find the Proxy Falls Trailhead. Great short hike to two gorgeous waterfalls.

Small campground but really nice!

Limberlost is a great alternative if you can’t get into Paradise Campground. Limberlost is small but clean having all the basics you need. No cell service with Verizon and this campground is super close to Proxy Falls trailhead that has a beautiful waterfall.

Lovely, cozy campgroud

12 is great. #11 is pretty good. There are several that are great to group together for a few families or group. Gateway to many hikes -short drive on scenic hwy. and lakes. Cheap and reservable.
