Lewis Lake Comments & Reviews
Visited Lewis Lake Campground lately? We'd love to hear about your adventure. Did you find us useful? Did we forget something? Anything our community should know before heading out to Lewis Lake?






I booked site 41 based on this sites recommendation (which is usually spot on) but this site is downhill and floods and you can’t pull into the site as it’s a large pool of water. I had to park crooked right next to the road.
Hi Kristen,
Sorry about that. Recent storms must have change the site up a bit and flooded the area. We will remove the site from our ‘best list’.
