Very nice campground right on Lewiston Lake. Very clean, well maintained, beautiful surroundings, lots of space. A number of large pines died over the last few years and were very recently cut down; was not all cleared away yet. Would have given 5 stars otherwise. (As of June 17, 2023)

Great campground with sites that aren’t too close together. Close to the river and able to walk down a hill about twenty feet to the river to kyack. The water is very cold so no swimming really but very fun to fish and float. It’s a quiet campground.

This place was nice. Was here July 2022 and it was HOT during the day. The water was cold, 47°F at the camp, but warmer as you went downstream, 55°F near Pine Cove Marina. Lots of trout n this area, water was perfect temp. Copper spinner caught them all evening.

We really like this campground, we have been here a few times now.
The bathrooms and campsites are clean.

Pinecove Marina is a good place to rent a pontoon boat and it’s close by.
Bring kayaks: there are spots to drop in the river.

The campsite was great. Close to water and had decent shade. We had to leave early due to the overwhelmingly aggressive yellow jacket hornets. Probably staying at a hotel with a pool next year.
