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.

Nice small campground on lost creek, a large creek which is definitely fly fish able. Some of the sites would not fit my truck and camper. 10 and 11 are probly the best. Site 1 is great for a tent site. This campground is a great base camp for McKenzie river adventures

AWESOME CAMPGROUND!!
Do NOT book site 3 though. Literally every other site is perfect. Number 3 has some sort of pipe from the restrooms (gross) and with the fire ring and picnic table .. it leaves basically zero space for anything else because you don’t want your tent anywhere near the disgusting gooey looking pipe.. which also SMELLS all the time.
Will book this spot again but now I know! Not #3 lol

Wonderful campground in old-growth western-Cascades forest (Douglas Fir, western Hemlock, western redcedar). Lots of privacy and quiet spots. Site #10 is a very private place. I had neighboring #9 and it was very beautiful and right by the river. Clean privy and clean Dumpster. Campground well maintained. Would spend more time here if I could.

Super awesome campground, the space between the tent was enough that felt private. The location was fabulous and accessible to the blue pool and clear lake

The campsite is pretty small, and the sites are packed pretty closely together. But, we grabbed a few sites for a large group along the river and felt like we had plenty of privacy. This was a great basecamp for a weekend full of mountain biking, hiking, and hot springs.
