Lost Creek Campground Access

Lost Creek Campground Access provides primitive, no-fee camping along Big Lost Creek in the Cherokee National Forest with first-come, first-served sites open year-round.

The campground serves as a trailhead for the Benton MacKaye Trail and offers parking along Lost Creek Road; note that potable water and restrooms are not available on-site.

This location is ideal for hikers and creek enthusiasts, with easy access to a scenic 4. 1-mile trail section that follows the creek through a rock-lined gorge with multiple swimming and fishing opportunities.
