It is a nice site. The lake is beautiful but the fishing was lousy again this year.

The Lost Lake Group Campsite is a great destination for any group. The site has plenty of camp sites and spaces for campers. It has a large sitting area surrounding the fire pit, is close to beautiful Lost Lake and various hiking trails. Highly recommend for family reunions or the like.

Lost Lake group site is located on a beautiful small lake with its own loons. Very close to a whole lot of people. It part of an area with private homes, an old private campground (cabins) right out of the 50’s Poconos, and the federal campground. Needless to say no privacy what’s so ever. Terry the regular camp host is a lovely, helpful, and kind man. He’d give you the shirt off his back. The hiking trails are quite beautiful. You may even meet a cow or two. If you feel like taking a spin there are plenty of quiet roads to ride your bikes or scoot off in your wheelchair. It’s very dog friendly. There are a lot of regulars who are super friendly. They may even let you use one of there kayaks.
