Great location and great camp host! I was raised in Wyoming and in the BigHorns and just like being home!
My only complaint is the trash lids are to heavy to put trash in them. They need a better set-up.
Had a wonderful time!!

Lost Cabin is a great base camp for exploring the southern portion of the Bighorn Mountains. The campgrounds are well maintained and we like the spacing between sites.
