Welcome to our little piece of paradise! 55 acres of woods hidden near town. A network of trails criss-cross the creek and wind throughout the property under a peaceful canopy of large beautiful trees. Don't be surprised if you run into deer, squirrels, or roadrunners! Our property is home to a wide variety of hill-country wildlife. - Each of our campsites are private and surrounded by forest. - Each site has a fire ring for campfires - Our trees are our most precious natural resource and set this campground apart! Please don't do anything to harm them. - Port-o-john is available on site. - All of our campsites are primitive. No electric or water here. - When you camp with us you are welcome to explore and play on the entire property! We have 55 acres of trails and woods to explore! Please bring your bikes, trail shoes, or whatever helps you have fun in the wild! - Hammocks welcome! We have so many trees! All of our sites are hammock-friendly. - When you check-in, just text us, your host will help you find your campsite. - Some sites are drive-in where your vehicle can park right next to the fire. Others are walk-in and require a short hike of 100' or less from your parking space. You can indicate your preference during booking or at check-in. If you want to drive right into your site, Campsites 2, 3, 6, and 12 are the sites you want. Some of our campsites are more secluded than others and offer extreme privacy in the most beautiful settings we have to offer. If you're looking for a wilder campsite surrounded by huge old trees and all the peace the woods have to offer, just request Campsites 4, 5, 7, or 8. Each of these sites requires a walk of at least 50' from your vehicle to the fire ring. Site 13 is only for backpackers or people willing to hike about 500 yards to the campsite over rough terrain. There is no way to drive to it or even get close except on foot. But it is spectacular and beautiful! Only three sites can accommodate a smaller trailer or camper. Site 1, Site 2, and site 6. Please notify me in your booking if you intend to bring a camper and I can accommodate you. We practice leave-no-trace as much as possible. So please pack out anything you pack in. You are responsible for removing all trash. If any garbage is left behind in your site you will be billed for the cleanup. We have a dumpster located near the front gate. Please use it and put all your trash in there. Heads-up! We have a small farm on the property. Dogs are always welcome and we LOVE our furry friends! For their safety and the safety of our livestock please keep them leashed while on property.

Not what we were expecting

Site 3 - Lost Woods Campground

The good: Great communication Pleasant host Getaway within the city Cons: They say accommodates 34ft my 30ft class C was scratching on both sides of trees Very noisy. Near highway Spot 3 was small Very tight area for turning around. We live in the mountains of New Mexico and were traveling, hoping for primitive camping for a couple of days before our eventful vacation in San Antonio and Port Aransas. When we got to the spot, it was tiny. Very limited space to turn around. I wanted to back in our RV, so the door was facing the camping area. The top of RV was scraping between two trees. The highway is very close, so you have all the traffic noise. There is also a sports field nearby and lots of traffic. We didn’t get to explore the area. We left within 30 min from getting there and staying at a KOA with all the hookups. We figured if we’re going to be in the city, we might as well have all the amenities. Might be ideal for someone who is local and doesn’t want to travel far for a quick camping trip. Someone who is tenting or using a small pop-up because turn-around space is limited.

Site 6 - Lost Woods Campground

Our group really enjoyed our experience at the Lost Woods Campground. We stayed at site 6 which was super convenient for us since it allowed us to back our vehicle right up to the camp spot.

Site 8 - Lost Woods Campground

Lost Woods seemed far away from the city but in actuality you could run to a store to pick up something you forgot in 10 mins. Sites were far enough away from each other that you felt like you were the only one out there for miles! It was great and my best friend and I loved it there!! We did visit during a burn ban due to the winds and couldn't have a campfire but that was ok. It was so relaxing and we had camp stoves so we just heated up food that way and sat around and talked and listened to music ... 3 days of relaxation.. doesn't get better than that! I did read reviews about road noise... Yes there is a little bit during the day but nothing major... We actually didn't even notice it. Just a reminder as we saw some campers unprepared, even though it's stated through out their website,... Bring water .. For hand washing, drinking, bathing, Coffee... Etc. We had a portable shower, potty and a portable stove with a coffee pot.... And we filled our empty gallon water containers with faucet water from our house and used that for washing, etc... Just bought a couple gallons for drinking.....we could have stayed out there for a month ..... Lol. Just be prepared.... It's just the woods.... And awesome! Thank you James for a wonderful 3 days!!! We will definitely visit again!!

Site 12 - Lost Woods Campground

We really enjoyed our night in site 12. It was secluded and spacious. The large stone fire pit with provided wood is a wonderful bonus. Although the Lost Woods feels like the middle of nowhere, it is actually in town and you can hear some soft traffic noise. Note: There is a small pen across the road from site 12. They were quiet - other than when the owner came to feed them. As a bonus the goats all came over to the fence across the road from our site to say goodbye🙂.
