Average National Forest Campground

Lost Cabin Campground is your run of the mill National Forest campground. There are 19 spots and it looked like they could accommodate some pretty large rigs.

There are two vault toilets as well as a water pump. All campgrounds have a fire ring, table and grill. The whole campground is shaded. There isn’t any recreational access from the campground however. You’ll have to drive to find trails or lakes.

Loop campground near the toad but far from town

Right off the main road you climb up and around a scenic forest. It’s just far enough to provide some insulation from the road noise. One loop of campsites go around a clean vault toilet and 2 water pumps. One water pump was not working. A few sites are tent only and there were a couple that had pull throughs. We drove in on the Fourth of July weekend and there were still a couple open sites. Some were reserved for the 2 week limit. This weekend found a few families and lots of dogs enjoying the holiday. 

This is a nice spot but it was farther away from town and hiking trails.
