This secluded and quiet campground is nestled along beautiful Lost Creek on the Willamette National Forest. The campgroundâ??s name was derived from "Girl of the Limberlost," a classic novel by American writer and naturalist, Gene Stratton-Porter. Recreation Hikers, swimmers, and anglers alike will delight with nearby Three Sisters Wilderness Area, Mt. Washington Wilderness, and Lost Creek. Those interested in relaxing will enjoy a soak in nearby Belknap Hot Springs. If you have an interest in biking, several trails outside of the Wilderness Areas are available. Facilities The campground offers vault toilets and garbage service. Each campsite includes a fire ring and picnic table. There is no drinking water available at the campground. Firewood is available at Olallie Campground. Natural Features Located near the Three Sisters Wilderness Area, Limberlost is surrounded by fir and cedar forest. The vine maples and thimbleberry in the area help provide privacy and shade for some sites. With the babbling Lost Creek in the background, Limberlost will not disappoint. Nearby Attractions Both general stores and restaurants are nearby in the towns of McKenzie Bridge and Blue River. ADA Access: N

Stayed hers during the summer. It is a nice and quiet little campground. The camp host was amazing. My truck died as we were leaving. The host helped me diagnose the problem and then towed me to the ranger station where I could get some help.
Beautiful campground -- was very quiet and peaceful, with about half the sites filled.
Some sites are closer to each other than others; they generally feel private, however this would not be the case if the campground were full.
Pit toilets were clean, well maintained, and smelled about as good as one could expect.
I cannot honestly rate this campground, as I did not camp. I came to search for a dachshund lost in May 2021, never found it. It wasn't mine, I have a FB group for lost dachshunds and was trying to help. If anyone found one, the owner would just like to know it is loved and safe. Anyway, if I were still a camper, I would give this site a try, but normally prefer more solitude. My camping partner of 39 years passed away in May 2021, so no more camping.
Small campground, 12 sites. Very quiet during a high summer season. Sites 1 and 12 are the best. No water available and no real river access. We were on a road trip and wanted quiet and found it.
