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.
