We had a lovely experience I have to say the camp host was amazing! I can’t remember his name but he had glasses and was super friendly and helpful. Campground was really clean and loved how close we were to the trailhead!

The campsite was spacious, the views were beautiful. It was nice knowing someone was there keeping an eye on the campsites. The water was freezing as to be expected but the rocks are extremely slimey and not the safest which is why they say go at your own risk. I wish the restrooms would have been cleaner like all the spiders and bugs inside and maybe even put a light in them so you can see what you're doing and what's around you. It was an experience I'll never forget so definitely visit one day!

We really enjoyed our stay here the weather was beautiful the water was cold but we could still swim because it was just warm enough outside. Thankfully the campground was quiet and respectful. Absolutely gorgeous place to visit. It's one of the most beautiful waterfalls I've ever seen. I do recommend bringing mosquito repellent and it would be nice if they installed either real bathrooms or better composting toilets to reduce the flies and the odor. I love the campsites because they are far enough apart spaced with trees with walking trails up and down along the river. The last five minutes of the drive of the road is not paved and it has some deep rutts, so a car with decent clearance is needed, we have a Honda CRV that made it fine, but take it slow the last bit. Highly recommend this place it's a family favorite!

This was my 4th time at lower Lewis and it never fails to disappoint! The campground is well groomed and the camp hosts are so friendly and welcoming.

The campground is beautiful, with decent sites and excellent maintenance. The campground's proximity to Lower Falls and the paths to Middle and Upper Falls, along with multiple access points for the river. The road in has gravel sections in both directions. One ten-mile stretch from the east, and one with a short but steep and rutted stretch from the west. The campground hosts were delightful, friendly and welcoming. No bars in miles from the area for Verizon

Such a beautiful area! Great campground, too - trees and privacy between every campsite. We had a great time even though we were closer to the road (site 38). The only downside is that there's only one water source for the upper loop. We ended up driving to it since it was too far to carry a heavy 4-gallon water jug. Regardless, I would definitely stay there again.

While the staff and facilities were good, the other campers ruined our time. No noise ordinance after 10pm seemed to be in place. Or atleast not enforced. The people in the upper loop also woke me up at 8am even with earplugs in. The men were so loud i could hear their conversations clear. On top of that, there were children screaming. Like literally screaming all morning. After a rough night's sleep we couldn't handle how unaware people can be of others. I dont come camping to listen to other campers yell and blast their music. I want to enjoy nature.
The thing that truly makes me sad is the amount of sites that people didnt show up for. We would have booked longer had these people actually canceled. There should be a no-show policy. 3 strikes you cant book online. Clearly losing the money isnt enough. I would say half of the sites booked were empty. Frustrating when its already so hard to get a spot! But again hosts were very nice!

We had a very good experience at Lower Falls Campground. The campground is spacious, with plenty of room at the campsites and good parking. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. We had an issue with our vehicle, and they even helped us jump-start it, which we really appreciated.
Another huge highlight is Lower Falls itself. It is only about a 10-minute walk from the campground, and the waterfall is absolutely amazing—one of the most beautiful waterfalls we have visited.
Overall, it is a great campground with a beautiful location, helpful staff, and easy access to the falls. We would definitely recommend it and would love to visit again!
