Lost Falls Campground prides itself on offering a wide array of services designed to enhance the comfort and convenience of its guests. Within the Campgrounds & RV Parks platform, our services extend beyond just a place to sleep. We offer 52 campsites, two spacious group areas for tents, and seven cozy log cabins. Our campsites are varied to meet different needs: seasonal sites with water, electric (30 amp), and sewer hookups; sites with water and electric hookups (both 30 amp and 30/50 amp options); and "green camping" areas in wooded or riverfront settings with no hookups, specifically for tents and pop-ups. All campsites come equipped with a picnic table and fire ring for traditional camping experiences.

For those seeking more comfort, our log cabins are a perfect choice. These pet-free and smoke-free accommodations are equipped with heat and air conditioning, full kitchens (including refrigerators, stoves or two-burner cooktops, microwaves, toasters, coffee makers, dishes, cookware, silverware, and utensils), and baths with showers. Guests are asked to bring their own linens. Each cabin also features a picnic table, fire ring, and Weber grill. Cabin options range from one-bedroom layouts with queen beds and futons, to two-bedroom cabins with queen beds and built-in bunk beds, accommodating between 2 and 7 people.

Beyond accommodation, Lost Falls offers a range of recreational services. We provide rentals for canoes, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards (SUPs), and tubes, facilitating exciting river trips along the Black River. For gatherings and celebrations, our covered pavilion is available, equipped with water, electricity, serving tables, picnic tables, and a Weber grill. While cooking on your own is encouraged, we can also recommend local caterers for larger events. The campground also features free hot showers and clean restrooms. A camp store is on-site, offering essential items such as s'mores ingredients, ice cream, beverages, snacks, firewood, and ice. Dumpsters are provided for bagged trash, and we encourage recycling with bins for glass, aluminum, and plastic.

Lost Falls Campground is distinguished by several key features that set it apart within the Campgrounds & RV Parks landscape. The most notable feature is the enchanting Lost Falls itself, a beautiful cascade waterfall easily accessible via a short walk from the campground. This natural wonder is a highlight for many visitors and is truly "well worth the trek." The campground's location directly on the Black River offers exceptional opportunities for water-based recreation, including swimming on the sandy beach, boating, fishing, and, most popularly, tubing down the river. The river is known for its clear water and sandy bottom, making it inviting for a dip.

For those who enjoy land-based activities, Lost Falls provides a nature trail, a playground for children, and areas for sports like badminton, horseshoes, Gaga Ball, and volleyball. The presence of a wildflower meadow and butterfly habitat adds to the natural appeal. Bird watching is also a popular pastime here. For pet owners, Lost Falls is pet-friendly, with specific "Doggy Dip hours" (7-9 am and 7-9 pm) allowing pets on the sandy beach and in the river, provided they are leashed and accompanied by an adult. All pet droppings must be bagged and disposed of. The campground emphasizes a family-friendly atmosphere with a strong focus on safety and respect for other campers and the environment. Quiet hours are enforced from 11:00 pm to 7:00 am, and amplified music is prohibited at all times. Guests are reminded to stay on marked trails and respect private property boundaries surrounding the campground. Fires are allowed only in designated fire rings and must be kept modest in size and never left unattended. For those interested in local culture and attractions, the campground is conveniently located near various points of interest, including antique shops, apple orchards, ATV trails, breweries, casinos, and the Black River State Forest, expanding the recreational possibilities beyond the campground itself.
