Lewis Lake Campground Opens
|
National Park Service Yellowstone National Park ----------------------------------------------------
Approximately 80 of the campground’s sites on loops A, B and C are open to visitors. Most the additional five sites located on the walk-in loop are still underwater and will remain closed until approximately the first week of August. Campers are advised to bring their own drinking water or method for treating water as no drinking water will be available until the beginning of next week. Faucets will be properly signed until water becomes available. The Lewis Lake Ranger Station will also open sometime during the beginning of next week to provide visitor assistance and issue boating and fishing permits. Until then, permits can still be obtained at ranger stations at the South Entrance, Grant Village or Bridge Bay. The Lewis Lake facility has a limited number of RV sites which can accommodate vehicles up to 25 feet long. There are no generators permitted or other electrical facilities available. Vault toilets are also available. Because of the recent snowmelt, campers may experience some wet and muddy conditions in the campground for several more weeks.
