About
Lost Park Campground is a remote, high-elevation destination in Pike National Forest near the Lost Creek Wilderness boundary. At 10,000 feet, the campground offers 12 sites tucked into the forest with access to excellent hiking and fishing opportunities. Each site includes a picnic table, fire ring with grate, and pedestal grill. Facilities include vault toilets and potable water available from a hand pump. There is no trash service, so campers must pack out all garbage. The campground accommodates trailers and RVs up to 22 feet in length; roads within the facility are unpaved. Two vehicles or one RV per site are included in the nightly fee. This is bear country, and all attractants must be stored in a bear-resistant manner. Dogs are allowed but must remain leashed at all times. Quiet hours are enforced from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., with a maximum stay of 14 consecutive nights.
Directions
From Fairplay, travel north on US 285 to the town of Jefferson. Turn right on County Road 56. Follow County Road 56 for 17 miles to the campground.
