Lost Cabin Campground

Lost Cabin Campground is located 29 miles west of Buffalo, Wyoming on the east side of the scenic Cloud Peak Skyway, near the Cloud Peak Wilderness Area. The surrounding Bighorn National Forest offers a wide variety of activities, including hiking, fishing, scenic driving and a number of historic sites. Scenic off-road driving is available on nearby Elgin Park, Pole Creek and Crazy Woman Canyon Roads, which are open to hiking and mountain biking as well. Many additional hiking trails are available in the Cloud Peak Wilderness, and a short trail leads from the campground to a scenic creek below. The campground offers several single-family sites, each equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring with grill. Accessible vault toilets, drinking water and trash collection are provided. The nearest dump station is 12 miles away on Powder River Pass. The campground is situated on a hillside above Highway 16. A dense forest of lodgepole pine covers the area and North Fork Creek flows nearby. Meadowlark Lake is 20 minutes west of the campground and Tie Hack Reservoir 20 minutes north; both lakes are great locations for canoeing and fishing. The High Park Lookout, just east of Meadowlark Lake, is an old fire lookout built by the CCC decades ago and no longer active - a short hike leads to it, and to panoramic views of the surrounding area. South Fork Lodge is nearby, offering dining options, lodging, guided horseback riding and fishing and camping supplies.
