This family-owned destination provides a peaceful retreat for those looking to disconnect from the hustle of daily life while enjoying the natural beauty of the Black River Falls area. Whether you are arriving with a travel trailer or a simple tent setup, the park emphasizes a relaxed, community-focused atmosphere that honors the tradition of outdoor living within a lush, forested environment.
Location & Surroundings
Situated just south of Black River Falls, the park is nestled within a dense canopy of hardwood and pine trees. The property is conveniently located near the Black River and is adjacent to the sprawling Black River State Forest, which encompasses over 68,000 acres of wild terrain. This proximity allows visitors to feel completely immersed in the wilderness, with frequent sightings of local wildlife and easy access to the region's unique geological features and winding forest roads.

The campground features a variety of site types, including water and electric hookups suitable for most RV sizes. Guests can take advantage of the clean shower house and restroom facilities, which are essential for comfortable multi-day stays. For convenience, the park provides an on-site playground and a camp store stocked with essentials, while every site includes a private fire ring and picnic table. The layout is intentionally designed to maximize privacy and shade, ensuring a cool and secluded environment during the peak summer months.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to do within a short drive of the campground. The Jackson County ATV and UTV trail system is a major draw for guests, offering miles of off-road excitement right in the vicinity. Additionally, Wazee Lake Recreation Area, known as the deepest lake in Wisconsin, is nearby and provides unique opportunities for scuba diving, swimming, and fishing. The Black River itself is a favorite for those interested in canoeing or kayaking through picturesque sandstone bluffs.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is an ideal fit for nature lovers and off-road adventurers who prefer a rustic, authentic camping environment over a high-density resort.

2nd annual trip this year was a blast! We love walking the lost falls and floating down the river. Lost Falls Campground has a perfect setup with a playground playground and well-kept bathrooms and a quick walk from the upper campground to the lower white sandy beach & campground. Perfect for our family.

Did not stay because we were visiting a friend. She wanted to show us this campground. It’s nicely wooded! The bathrooms were great! It’s wonderful to have been able to be women out in the countryside and have a bathroom available without having to make a purchase!Thank you you lost Falls campground! Your place is on our to do list!

Absolutely beautiful spot! The grounds were immaculate and well-maintained, and the entire area felt peaceful and serene—especially the beach. The staff was outstanding: friendly, helpful, and clearly knew what they were doing. The tubing services and drop-off process were seamless, and we felt totally taken care of. Big bonus that it’s dog-friendly! Can’t recommend this place enough

We only spent one night but it will hopefully not be the last! We chose a primitive spot close to the beach with our hiker trailer! Peaceful, relaxing and pristine! The owners are so kind and accommodating! The property is beautiful and so very well maintained! The bathrooms are clean and convenient. The beach is spectacular! We hope to come for an extended stay soon and float on the river! Thanks for everything!

An absolute gem of a campground! Stayed there with 2 children in one of the cabins, we all loved it. Cabin was clean, stocked as described, a small but well set up space. AC worked well, as did all the appliances. The kids loved the playground with its huge sandbox area, we explored the Lost Falls, the kids also loved the large sandy beach. Quiet campground, just the expected sounds of people hanging out and kids playing. When I spoke to the staff on check in/out, they were very warm and friendly, you don't feel like you are being monitored during your stay, but they are very accessible if needed. Highly recommend for families or people who want a nice chill camping experience in a beautiful setting.
