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.

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)

My family has been coming to this campground for decades and this trip was so disappointing. The camp host is not taking care of the grounds anymore. Most of the spaces are overgrown with weeds and tall grass. The bathrooms are not taken care of, none of the broken things have been fixed. Also the cards for the reservable spaces are not updated or removed. Definitely not what it used to be and absolutely not anything like the pictures on this site.

Our family camping trip is the highlight of our year. Ackerman campground was absolutely beautiful! The sites were large and well maintained and the bathroom was clean. The lady who was on site was incredibly helpful and friendly. The nearby lake, the beautiful views, and the quiet made this a great time.
We went at the very beginning of June and it was already very hot during the day and there is little to no cell service which would be the only downsides but having no screen time for a week is not a bad thing.
Perfect place for those who love to camp in peace and quiet.
