Lost Creek Group Campground

Lost Creek Group Campground is a group camping facility in Lassen Volcanic National Park with multiple sites equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets. The facilities spread across a wooded area at moderate elevation within the park's volcanic landscape.

The campground was established in the 1960s to meet growing demand for organized group camping in Northern California. Its creation reflected broader efforts to expand recreational facilities in the park during that era.

The campground serves as a gathering point for environmental education programs, where rangers conduct presentations about local wildlife and geological formations.

Reservations are required from May through September, with groups limited to 50 people maximum. Visitors should be prepared for fire safety rules and check access roads ahead of time.

The camp sits at an elevation with views of volcanic formations and direct access to fishing areas. Visitors can encounter native trout species that inhabit the surrounding waters.
