“Stay Away From This Terrible Place!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 August 2006

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!

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.

“Get Lost at Lost Falls Campground”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 August 2005

people found this review helpful

Myself and my family camped at Lost Falls Campground at a group campsite with some friends. Most folks brought their children and a few brought their dogs. We are all mid 30's professionals from the Twin Cities metro area.

The children played for hours in the sand pit and the river behind the campsite had a nice sandy beach. The river slopes slowly and is easy to traverse and swim. A large group went tubing down the river. The group campsite was roomy and in a good location next to the river.

Unfortunately, despite this, I am writing this review to save any poor soles the loss of their vacation or weekend.

During our stay the campground staff, quite probably the owners, drove by our campsite about 10 times a day on a golf cart and made condescending comments about every little infraction they could discover while passing by. They threatened these infractions with the loss of deposit $, being kicked out of the campground and even campground cleanup duties. It really was quite bizarre.

We could not understand what we had done to deserve this treatment. However, while we were there they kicked out another group of campers and a neighboring camper came over to commiserate with us.

It was if they were saying, "GET LOST!"
