Lewis Lake Campground is located in the southern part of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. The campground is situated on the eastern side of Lewis Lake, a beautiful and serene body of water that provides a stunning backdrop for camping. The campground is surrounded by forests of lodgepole pine, which provide shade and a sense of seclusion.
Nearby points of interest include the Lewis River Channel, which is a great spot for fishing and hiking. The Lewis River Channel Trail, which begins near the campground, offers a picturesque walk along the river and through the forest. The South Entrance to Yellowstone National Park is only a short drive away, providing easy access to all of the attractions in the park.
The campground amenities include a well-maintained restroom facility, potable water, and trash collection services. There are also picnic tables and fire rings at each campsite, and firewood is available for purchase on-site. The campground is open from early May to mid-October, but the specific dates may vary from year to year.
One interesting fact about the area is that Lewis Lake was formed as a result of a massive landslide that blocked the Lewis River. The landslide occurred in 1959 and created a natural dam that created the lake.
The best time of year to visit Lewis Lake Campground is during the summer months, from June to August. During this time, the average temperature is around 75 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and 45 degrees Fahrenheit at night. However, visitors should be prepared for cooler temperatures in the evening, especially in the higher elevations of Yellowstone National Park.
