Lost Valley Reservoir Camping Area

New Meadows, Idaho · Camping

Lost Valley Reservoir Camping Area offers dispersed camping around a forest reservoir near New Meadows. Site access and the amount of developed infrastructure vary, so choose a spot suited to your vehicle and family.

Road, weather and seasonal conditions affect access

Site access varies; many spots are difficult for RVs

🌳 Amenities & Features

  • Reservoir-side dispersed camping
  • Some vault-toilet/outhouse facilities
  • Forest recreation setting

💡 Good to Know

  • The Forest Service cautions that most sites are difficult for RVs to access.
  • A Forest Service log-hauling alert is listed through November 30, 2026 for roads 089, 123, 139, 138 and 946. Roads remain open, but narrow sections and blind corners require extra care.
  • Bring drinking water and supplies. A ranger-office closure notice does not by itself mean the camping area is closed.

Plan your Lost Valley Reservoir camping trip

Reach the reservoir on Forest Road 089 from Highway 95 southwest of New Meadows. Dispersed sites differ from a developed campground: check the approach before committing a large RV, bring drinking water and do not expect a toilet at your individual site. Consult current Payette National Forest alerts for closures and restrictions before choosing a spot.

Prefer an established campground with reservable options? Compare nearby Cold Springs Campground, then explore our Adams County guide.
