This was our second time staying at this campground. The staff are friendly, eager to help or answer any questions you may have. The Junction is a great place to congregate to have a few drinks and a bite to eat. Ashley and Mackenzie, hope I spelled those right, are really great bartenders and make you feel like they've known you for years. The campground is peaceful, well maintained, with the Mohican River running alongside. They also offer river trips, where the canoe livery will pick you up at the campground and you travel down the river, back to the campground. We plan on making this a yearly trip.

Our very first experience camping and this was a wonderful location! Owners and staff were great! You won't be disappointed! Since I cant leave more than one review, I will add to my original review. This past weekend, Oct 10, 11, 12, was our third trip here this year. This campground is clean, family friendly, and has a great place for eating, refreshments, and watching THE Ohio State Buckeyes! Not sure if we are going to continue camping, but if we do, we certainly will be back! Great experience camping on the river!

Lost Horizons Campground proved to be the ideal spot for a weekend of fun on the river with friends and our dogs. We launched our kayaks upstream and easily made our way back to one of our group's campsites. The campsites were spacious and well-maintained, and the staff made us feel right at home with their friendly demeanor. On Saturday night, a live band played, which really added to the lively atmosphere. My only suggestion for improvement would be regarding the restrooms— the smell was pretty off-putting, and I noticed there wasn’t a way to dry my hands after washing. While this isn’t usually a problem for me, I didn’t opt for a full hookup site this time around. Despite that, we’re definitely planning to return next year for another group kayak adventure!
