Natural Features and SceneryThe Lostine River runs through the canyon here, its cold water cutting through granite walls. Ponderosa pine and Douglas fir shade the sites, and the canyon walls rise steeply on both sides. Beyond the campground, the Eagle Cap Wilderness spreads across 350,000 acres of alpine lakes, meadows, and glacier-carved peaks. The Lostine Canyon forms a natural corridor into this backcountry, with trailheads leading into the high country.
