Lost Lake Resort and Campground is a premier destination for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Located in the heart of the Mt. Hood National Forest, our resort offers a wide range of accommodations, activities, and amenities to suit every taste and preference.

Our Rich History

In the early 1800's, Lost Lake was used primarily by Native Americans who came to the area to harvest huckleberries. They called the lake E-e-kwahl-a-mat-yam-lshkt, meaning heart of the mountains. The first documented visit to the area came from Euro-American explorers Joe and John Diver in 1873. The lake finally got its name when adventurer Ezra Smith set out to find the lake as mapped out by the Divers. When Smith had difficulty in finding the lake, he came to the conclusion that it was not their party who was lost, but rather, the lake. The US Forest Service obtained the title to the land in 1922, and it is one of the oldest camping resorts in Oregon.
