“I would recommend and go again.”

I read the reviews down below before camping at Lost Falls and was skeptical but did not regret the stay. Actually thought this was a great, hidden away as they should be, campground. As far as the owners, they do drive around on thier golf carts but I thought they were very freindly. Tubing is very enjoyable, not very deep but sandy bottom the whole way, you don't need shoes or sandals. With five of us and $10 person, I could have saved $100 on the two days of tubing by bring own floatation device, life jacket and found someone to give a ride up river 2.5 miles. Last but not least, don't forget to check out the waterfalls in the woods "Lost Falls" down and across Sunnyvale Road form the campground.

“Had Fun!”

We were also worried about the previous reviews. We were traveling with other families and we get kind of loud after the kids go to bed but I am happy to say, we did not have any problems. This is a small campground with very nice looking cottages near the camping sites. The beach is awesome and my dog loved doggie dip hours. I probably won't bring my dog next time because you have to give a $25 pet deposit and sign a form with their dog rules. While we love doggie dip hours, we couldn't bring our dog to the beach any other time of day and they did drive by in a cart to check when I walked my dog down to the beach. The playground was satisfactory, kids had fun, the 1-2 block walk to the 5 foot tall falls was worth it - great photos & kids played under it. The sites were good sized, and the price was reasonable. We did the 1 hour $25 canoe trip which was perfect for all our young kids & they allowed my dog to come! (great trip for families - lots of sandbars - wide & slow river - usually shallow)

  • Liked — canoeing & tubing options

We were worried about staying here after reading the reviews,but we decided to stay for 1 night on our way up to Bear lake.
We experienced no problems here whatsoever.There were 2 adults and 3 teenagers in our party and we all had a great time.
we hired some kayaks and we taken to a spot up river to paddle down from.We had the whole river to ourselves.
This was one of the friendliest sites we stayed on during our RV adventure.
It is very quiet here and we noticed sound did travel.I myself told our teenagers to quieten down so as not to disturb other people.It looked a great place to camp at.The pitches were right by the river in the forest.(Mosquito heaven)

“Stay Away From This Terrible Place!”

I read the reviews on this site before going to this campground, and unwisely chose to ignore the post about the owners bothering the campers. Sadly, my trip to Lost Falls ended up being the worst camping experience I have ever had.

My friends and I go camping somewhere different every summer and have experienced good and bad as far as campgrounds go. We planned on staying the weekend at this place, and the 5 of us were all set up on Friday night, sitting by the fire and talking, when the owner came by on her little golf cart and told us that we were being too loud and causing a disturbance and had better be out by 9 AM the next morning or she would call the sherrif's department. When I followed her back to her cart and tried to calmly explain that we had only been sitting there talking and that the large group of drunk people across from us was probably the one causing the disturbance, she started screaming at me and grabbed my arm and told me that this was "not the right campground for you, honey!" Needless to say, she refused to believe me that we hadn't done anything wrong. When later we were sitting in our tent with a lantern, trying to decide what to do now that we had no place to stay in the morning, she came over and tried to pretend to BE the sherrif's department and threatened us once again that we would have to leave in the morning or else. Aparently our little lamp was too much, as were our quiet voices.

Fifteen minutes later we were packed up and out of there before we had to deal with anymore of that, and we stayed in a hotel all weekend. As we were packing up, she drove by again and taunted us. They run a tight ship; there was not a light to be seen nor a voice to be heard as we drove out of the campground.

Unless your favorite part of summer camp as a child was when the counselors said "lights out and be quiet!" this is not the place for you! The owners seemed to be much more concerned about geting our money than letting us relax and be on vacation!

“great camping”

We have stayed at lost falls twice now, my wife and I and typically 4 to six friends rent a couple sites every year. Last year we had a site next to the river, we always go take the tube trip ( sign up the night before to ensure you go when you want) that is always a relaxing trip. We have never been bothered by the owners, we have seen them ride by in the golf cart but they never interfere with our vacation. Everything is clean and we always have a good time.
