About Limberlost Campground

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.

We have camped here for 40 years! It is our second home. We would live at Limberlost if we could!

Beautiful. Quiet. Water in stream very cold and rapid so danger for small kids. Easy to drive up to McKenzie Pass and nice hikes in the area. No mosquitos! But some up higher.

The reservation information had not been updated at the campsite. Our site had a sign that said it was open even though we reserved it. Other sites had outdated reservation information. If someone had arrived before us they would have thought our reserved site was available. There was no way for late arrivers to know if sites were available.

I cannot honestly rate this campground, as I did not camp. I came to search for a dachshund lost in May 2021, never found it. It wasn't mine, I have a FB group for lost dachshunds and was trying to help. If anyone found one, the owner would just like to know it is loved and safe. Anyway, if I were still a camper, I would give this site a try, but normally prefer more solitude. My camping partner of 39 years passed away in May 2021, so no more camping.

Beautiful camp sight. Across the street is a big lot with group camping which used the bathroom which was right next to our site #11. On the map 11 is not even close to the bathroom. Also check in was 2 pm that is why we chose this campground. But while cooking our lunch they came to pump the bathroom, maybe they could have cleaned bathrooms before check in. Never saw any host, but my name was on campsite, so they must come around. Other wise the camp grounds was nice.
