Lewis Lake Campground is about eight miles from the South Entrance and a short walk from the southeast shore of Lewis Lake. Densely forested by lodgepole pine, each site has a picnic table and fire pit with grate. Food storage boxes measuring 48 x 22 x 22 inches are available for shared use.

If you plan to boat on Lewis Lake, please read up on boating regulations. Due to freezing temperatures, drinking water may not be available in Lewis Lake Campground beginning early to mid-October. Fall campers should plan to bring their own water. If used, lake water must be treated or boiled before consumption.
