I visited the Joseph H Stewart State Recreation Area September 16, 2019. This review contains the information, pictures and impressions I gathered then. IdahoCampgroundReview does not own, manage or make reservations for this facility. The locals may call this the Lost Lake State Park. The campground is setting on a fairly level slope on the southern shore of Lost Creek Lake. The shore line is mostly cliffs here but you can drive to the day use area to find a beach. The campground is grassy and well mowed/trimmed. There are a variety of trees including pine, laurel and oak. Most are large mature trees which provide a great deal of shade. However most campsites have both shade and sunlight in them. There are a few that are totally shaded.
