Schoepe Scout Reservation at Lost Valley is located in northern San Diego County, 12 miles east of Warner Hot Springs. Surrounded by the Cleveland National Forest, Anza-Borrego State Park, and the Los Coyotes Indian Reservation, the camp is known for its remote beauty and rustic wilderness.
After traveling the scenic eleven-mile dirt road to the camp, Lost Valley appears like a mountain oasis in the high desert. Oak and pine trees surround the meadows and valleys that comprise the 1,400 acres of camp. The reservation abounds in wildlife and has many hiking trails so that those attending can enjoy the unspoiled nature of the surroundings. At 4,500 feet, the facility is available year-round for a variety of camping programs.
Lost Valley operates as two separate camps with some shared and some separate facilities. The shared facilities include a rifle range, shotgun range, horse stables, lake, chapel, nature center, COPE course (advanced ropes confidence course), mountain biking, observatory, archery and campfire bowl. Camp Grace, developed in the 1960s, has a pool and showers, dining hall (feeding cafeteria style), trading post, handicraft lodge, and 13 campsites. Each campsite has a latrine, fire pit, water, picnic table, and is equipped with tents during the summer for camping. Grace has nine heated log cabins build in 1995 for non-summer weekend rental.
Camp Irvine, developed in the 1970's, also has a dining hall (feeding cafeteria style), trading post, pool and showers. There are 15 campsites for tent camping. Irvine has nine heated log cabins built in 1995 for non-summer weekend rental. Facilities and programs are available depending upon staffing, weather conditions, and time of year.
