I have been to Lost Hill Lake before for special events (Christmas lights and adult Easter egg hunt) but this was my first overnight glamping experience. We booked the Charming Camper which had two full size beds big enough for two adults and two kids. It had a beautiful outdoor patio, air conditioning, and close proximity to the lake, outdoor showers, and sauna. They have everything that you need with open use canoes/kayaks and an activity shed with floaties, fishing poles, bikes, scooters, and games. They also have a shared kitchen for campers that includes a full size fridge and grill. We had so much fun at an affordable price and will definitely be back! read more

This review is for Lost Hill Lake's glamping experience. They offer some very unique glamping experiences. It took me a while to post this review because I did not want to let the secret out before I made my next reservations. You can rent a cool bus, a VW van, a house boat or some campers that have been converted into sleeping quarters. Some of them have their own out houses, camp fire pits and kitchenettes. For those that don't there is a shared kitchen and out house on the grounds. The camp ground has a decent sized lake with a shelter that overlooks it. There are picnic tables under the shelter to sit and eat or just hang out. Some of the other amenities that you will find on the grounds include hiking trails, canoes, kayaks, corn hole boards, a small playground and a tree swing. There is also a big blue trailer with games, toys, fishing equipment, bikes, pogo sticks, life jackets. All of the equipment is pretty worn. I would recommend bringing your own. The equipment in the trailer is a nice gesture and serves as a good backup though. Checking in and out is easy. You just go to your unit after 3. We were the only one checking in during our visit, so they allowed us to check in early. You just follow the instructions they leave you to check out (take out trash, turn off A/C and/or heat, pull all linens and leave them in a pile on the bed). They ask that you bring your own towels and blankets with you. I would suggest bringing your own fire starting stuff such as a lighter and cardboard/news paper. They have some matches and news paper around in fire starter kits, but I had to go on a scavenger hunt, because my unit did not have any. A flashlight is a must too. We stayed in the Sunshine Schoolie in the off season. This is the only unit that has a hot tub. All the units have AC and heat. We lucked out and had really good weather during our visit. It was a bit chilly at night, but the heat kept us warm. They provide you with a small bundle of wood to get your fire started. Additional buckets of wood is $5 per bucket. They also have ice (in a freezer at the main house) and ice cream (in a freezer under the shelter) available for purchase via Venmo. We brought hot dogs and corn on the cob that we cooked over the camp fire for dinner. It was delicious I must say. You will see a couple of towers in the lake that would be awesome in summer lake swimming and activities. I saw a bunch of clams in the water, but did not see many fish, even after throwing some bread in. The site has a trail that leads to Thinking Rock, that overlooks the valley. The trail has a steep hill and goes about a mile or so. I would only recommend it for those with moderate hiking ability. The view is awesome though and is definitely worth checking out. My family had a great time here and I highly recommend checking this place out. It is a laid back spot and provides a chance to disconnect from the world for a bit. I had spoty cell phone coverage while at the camp (Verizon), but that did not bother my much and I actually preferred it. I took the time to sit out and relax. Now if I could have only gotten my littles to put their iPads down. read more

Yes, it's far! But, I knew this before arriving. It's about 15 minutes past Six Flags/Eureka, MO coming from St. Louis. That being said, it's a great scenic fall drive. I depended on the "MAPS" app for directions, it had me exit at #247(HWY 50 West) this was NOT the best option (go to the St Clair exit (there's a McDonalds) and it's only a couple turns away. I was not aware of this on our way there and it honestly took us thru the most narrow, windiest roads in the state....ooh and after 5:00pm also the darkest with few street lights. I mention all this because they could do a much better job with offering best routes AND signage on the way. We arrived for the YELP #ELITE Expiernce and it was really fun. It's a very cute and quaint Holiday display walk thru. There are several GREAT Photo stations set up throughout. Perfect place to capture all your Holiday Card pics!! They use Eventbrite for ticket purchases which was smooth. The staff at the entrance were very nice and helpful. After the Holiday walk thru, it leads you to a Pavilion filled with vendor tables selling everything from Elderberry syrup to scarves. I would advise to bring Cash. Most of the Vendors rely on Venmo for payments...which is usually great BUTTTTTT There is NOOOOO AT&T service in this location annnnd NO WIFI - Y I K E S! My wish of having a Screen FREE evening for the kids was granted! Behind the Vendor area they have a Kids corner/Family night games set up...Cornhole boards, Yard Jenga, Connect 4, and a couple other games. This was really fun as a family and would be with a group of Friends. They'll also have a kids craft table sat up towards the end. Overall this was a great fun Elite experience!!" read more

Roads, hot water, bed sizes, driveways, grass cutting, water resupply. I will never go there again as far as glamping. There was no glamping! read more

My cousin had her wedding with Lost Hill Lake Events, and it was nothing short of a fairy tale experience.. the staff was beyond helpful and friendly and the location where the ceremony & dinner were phenomenal and located very close to the campsite... the campsite itself was clean and definitely a "glamping" experience... the trail up to " thinking rock " was my favorite part. At the top of the trail and cliff you can see the wedding venue location and a breathtaking view of the Maramec river... 10/10 recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a relaxing time to connect with nature. read more
