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.
This is our second stay at this property. First time was fine this trip not so much.The first night was great no neighbors everything was nice and quiet it was amazing and my family had a great time. Now the second night we had some not so great across the way neighbors. They had brought 3 completely untrained dogs. They were chasing cars I sent my kids to go stay with family in the area because the Irish hound and other 2 smaller dogs that were constantly barking and chasing and wondering free were being aggressive and it was no longer a safe place for my kids or my dog. So granted bad neighbors don't really make a difference on the campground itself but there should definitely be better rules in place for people bringing their untrained ill mannered dogs and allowing them off leash. I'm all for dogs off leash my dog stays off leash but he is trained and not aggressive nor a threat to vehicles and children. Until better rules are instated on that we probably won't return. And the well maintained porta potty has weeds and plants going through it so it obviously isnt as well maintained as advertised. I ended up cleaning up a full trash bags worth of other people's garbage from around our site as well as a lot of shattered glass that was on the site as well (gave up on cleaning all of it got tired of digging glass out of the dirt so it's probably still there) kinda bummed because last time we came it was great but this trip was not where it was at 😮💨
I loved how secluded the site, yet, not too far from the car, the toilet station and trash station. We really enjoyed the experience despite of the strong wind. James is greatly responsive and supportive. We will definitely visit again!
Not much to say, we pulled in late and left early. Probably could have parked on the side of the road, but I hate getting woken up and having to move. James the host was responsive and helpful. The place looked pretty killer for a nice getaway. It's not a typical campground, it's private land with outhouses and sites with firepits. Very reminiscent of a Baja situation. Host says he locks the gate at night but I couldn't confirm. Overall I'd recommend
We stayed twice this season so far and it's honestly a fast favorite! We have a small 16' teardrop that fits perfectly for use at sites 1, 2, 3, 6, & 8. Our 1st trip was with some friends, their kids and our dogs at sites 6, 7, & 8 at the recommendation of the owner. Perfect to sit at the shaded campfire space @ 8 with space for everyone's tent! The 2nd trip was for a family birthday camping with some dogs as well @ site 1 - which was adjusted to site 2 to be further from the entrance road. James is always very responsive and easy to communicate with for anything!
Notes for potential campers:
- IT IS JUST THE WOODS...in the suburbs. There is the convenience of access to stores if you forgot something but once you are on site, there is 1 port-a-potty (cleaned 1/wk?) that is within a 5-10 minute walk from any site. No water connections & no electricity. Great "tester" for introducing people to camping b/c of the safety net of being so close to civilization.
- Most sites VERY well shaded. If you are in site 1 or 2 I recommend bringing a canopy because the sites are cleared pretty well.
- Road is very accessible but it is a dirt/rock road. More uneven and larger rock than gravel.
- Sites 4-8 have the least road noise, with the lowest road noise being at 8.
- Carpool for groups as much as possible. Parking (except at 1, 3, or 8) limited.
- 8+ppl tents: Sites 1-4 & 8 have space for at least 2 tents; site 6 (maybe 5?) for 1 tent; sites 5 & 7 poss. but tight
- Very walkable!
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.
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.
