About
Lost Lake Group Unit is a designated group camping area within Lost Lake Campground, located on the Tonasket Ranger District of Colville National Forest in northeastern Washington. The single group site can accommodate up to 100 people and features a paved driveway suitable for RVs and trailers up to 45 feet. The site is shaded and sits near the lakefront. The campground offers flush toilets, drinking water, and fire pits for campfires. Campers have access to shared facilities including a swim beach (no lifeguard), boat ramp with electric motors only, and an amphitheater. Lost Lake provides fishing opportunities for rainbow and eastern brook trout. The Big Tree Trail, starting near the campground entrance, offers an easy 0.8-mile interpretive hike to see 600-year-old western larch trees, and Strawberry Mountain Trail provides a 1.5-mile climb to scenic views. The area supports diverse wildlife including deer, black bear, bald eagles, and common loons. Pets are welcome but must be kept on leash.
