Lost River Campground

1 ReviewAdd Review

Six miles southwest of Mathias, Lost River Campground occupies roughly two dozen sites arranged in a loop configuration near the Lost River. The campground accommodates RVs up to 65 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections. Sites on the corn field side of the loop offer different positioning than those facing the road, with hookups typically located at the rear of camping spots.

A large lake sits across the street from the campground. The bathhouse provides clean restroom and shower facilities, while additional amenities include a swimming pool and playground area. The Lost River General Store with its cafe and gift shop operates nearby, along with the Lost River Arts Co-op. For campers seeking a different experience, Trout Pond Recreation Area provides an alternative setting four miles east.

Small but Mighty

This is a small hidden gem! As you approach it doesn’t look like much but the approx. 2 dozen sites are just part of the appeal of this campground. The owners are awesome! They provided a BBQ dinner and had a corn hole competition. They gave a tour of their farm next door and the meat they sell was out of this world. When you make a reservation, you’ll call and they’ll give you a good site. Try to get on the side of the loop that faces the corn field, not the road. The hookups end up being on the living side of your camper and right at the back of your camper. Our door isn’t at the back so it wasn’t a big issue. Across the street is a large lake. The bath house was clean and nice. There is a swimming pool and playground. Close by is the Lost River General Store with cafe and gift shop. The Lost River Arts Co-op has great unique gifts. Check it out. Did I mention the owners are great? Customer satisfaction is important to them.
