Campers appreciate the close proximity to the stunning Lower Falls and numerous hiking trails, contributing to a peaceful and scenic experience. However, some improvements are needed, such as additional water stations and better restroom facilities, as well as addressing overcrowding during peak times.

I arrived at the campground around 230pm. The camp host was present but nowhere to be found. I like it that way as there is less interaction with humans that way, I appreciated it. Anyways,
The campsite itself is excellent. Plenty of shade under the canopy trees. Clean and not too much dirt, but rather ground covered in needles. There is some gravel too ok the ground so be a little cautious when using your tent here. Parking was good enough to fit at least three vehicles. There is a nice fire ring with a grill included. Firewood can be purchased from the Eagle Cliff Store a few miles down the road in Northwoods. Early season camping allowed me to collect some fallen sticks and branches for extra fire fuel. I was camped up next to some rather loud folks and even after 10pm they were being loud as all hell. Nevertheless this is a popular campground, so your experience may vary!

Simple yet beautiful campsite. We (group of 2) stayed at Site 1. The fire pit and grill worked fine. The compost toilets were a few campsites over. The lower falls were just a few hundred feet from the toilets. There is a trail that wraps around the campsite and then on. There are fallen trees along the way, but if you're up for a little adventure, then it's no biggie. Part of the road up to the site had a lot of dips and pot holes. Very few people during the early season (May) while it's still cold and rainy (nothing a space heater and a few waterproof layers can't solve!)

This is very nice campground! I enjoyed my stay there and visiting, photographing the falls. I was the first camper to arrive for the new season, I thought that was cool! Now for the not so good, The water pump for my loop was not working (wish I had brought my own water from home), the fire pit had not been cleaned and it did look kind of like the campground wasn't quite ready to accept campers. I will be going back this coming fall!

The Lewis River is very beautiful and the campground is very nice. I recommend hiking on the trail along the river, either upstream or downstream. The forests there are wonderful too.

  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
