About
Lost Cabin Campground sits on a forested hillside at 8,200 feet elevation along the Cloud Peak Skyway, 29 miles west of Buffalo, Wyoming. The campground features 20 sites surrounded by a dense stand of lodgepole pines, with 10 pull-through sites accommodating spur lengths of 35-55 feet. North Fork Creek flows nearby, accessible via a short trail from the campground. The location provides excellent access to both wilderness and developed recreation. Hikers can explore trails in the adjacent Cloud Peak Wilderness, while scenic off-road driving, hiking, and mountain biking opportunities abound on nearby Elgin Park, Pole Creek, and Crazy Woman Canyon Roads. Meadowlark Lake and Tie Hack Reservoir, both 20 minutes away, offer fishing and canoeing. The historic High Park Lookout, a CCC-era fire tower, provides panoramic views after a short hike. The campground offers vault toilets and hand-pumped drinking water. Sites include picnic tables and fire pits. Site #7 is a double site accommodating up to 16 people. South Fork Lodge is nearby for dining, supplies, and guided horseback riding. The campground is managed by Gallatin Canyon Campgrounds and operates seasonally from Memorial Day through Labor Day, weather dependent.
