We arrived fairly late on Saturday but ended up having an amazing time regardless. Bathrooms were clean and all other guests were very respectable about COVID-19 related procedures.

It is a small quiet campground. There are 2 boat ramps near. We ended up going to the french meadows boat ramp to unload our canoe. This was our first camping trip with our canoe so we chose Lewis at French Meadows because of the reservoir. The reservoir can get windy so we did some hard paddling but nothing 2 girls could not handle. Would recommend going early or later in the day if you do not want to go up against the wind like us. The campground itself has well maintained restroom and friendly host. My one minor complain was that the previous occupant threw trash (bottle cans/cigarette buds) in the fight pit. Please do not do this!! It's ghetto. We also did not have neighbors as site 13 has no neighbors on one side and our neighbors on the other side did not show. I would also recommend site 13 for smaller suvs/sedans as the parking site is long but it curves so if you have a longer car u might be on an incline/decline. We took the road from auburn and even though you can see the cliff for some parts it was not that bad considering we were carrying a 16' canoe on our small pt cruiser.

Nicely spaced sites. Clean restrooms. Lake temperature for swimming is perfect, but easy access to the shore is spotty. As the lake lowers, very little shade to sit under.
