Lost Creek Campground

If you plan to hike to Burnt Lake, I'd definitely recommend this campground. Be sure to bring your own firewood! The camp host doesn't stay here, so unless you sync up with them right when you arrive, you should bring in your own wood so that you aren't just waiting around for check-in (wood is sold at the gas stations and stores on Highway 26).

We camped in B1, the walk-to site closest to the parking lot, which was very convenient for carrying our gear to the site. This campground was moderately private; you could definitely hear the campers around you, but there are so few sites that the whole area feels beautifully quiet and isolated. As another reviewer noted, the pit toilets do indeed smell like baby powder! I believe that there is water at this campground, too, but it's over in the RV section near campsite A9 and I had a little trouble finding it (the signage at the registration area was not very informative).

The campground is also super close to both the Burnt Lake Trail head and the Trail to Ramona Falls. Aside from a couple of minor inconveniences (which could be solved with better signage), this campground is great, and I'd for sure stay again.
