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.

Site 13 - Lost Woods Campground

It was great. I wanted to be myself with just me and my dog and it was perfect. James was super helpful and answered any and all questions I had. Hopefully I can go back again

Site 3 - Lost Woods Campground

James is a great host. A great way to get out to nature. Mild traffic noises but doesn’t interfere with experience. Great old walking trails throughout property and a really nice animal pen. Always good to visit this property.

Site 1 - Lost Woods Campground

Complete newbies to campervanning, so was a bit difficult for us to set up, but site is secure, quite, and James didn't mind me bugging him about the padlock ha ha

Site 4 - Lost Woods Campground

We loved how the Lost Woods was so close to the city. We were able to get out for a my CB needed quick night of camping. Site 4 was nice and secluded and was had perfect trees to set up two hammocks near the campfire. The hiking trails could use some work, it doesn't look like they get much use. Overall I’d recommend this spot.

Great spot- still in the city

Site 13 - Lost Woods Campground

Overall, we had a great experience! James was helpful checking us in and the site was exactly as described- it was really convenient to San Antonio, and easy to find. We probably will go farther out instead of going back because there was a lot of road noise and a small amount of noise from other campers while at the site, as well as dog poop everywhere around the site and in the creek bed trail (assuming from others who visited and walked their dogs without picking up after them). Feels unfair to blame that on the host, but it smelled enough that it negatively impacted our stay.

Site 5 - Lost Woods Campground

If you’re looking for a site not too far from home store this is a great option. If you’re looking for a true camping experience with multiple trails and resources then this is not for you. It was easy to find the camp site and they provide a port o john but I noticed there is trash scattered everywhere all over the property, old beer cans, tires, random shoes, toys, bags of trash. It was an unpleasant sight. It felt more like a guy letting you camp on his property rather than “camping in the woods”. Not sure if I recommend if you want a real camping experience.
