Lewis Campground

Lewis Campground offers 40 well-maintained sites with picnic tables and grills on the north shore of French Meadows Reservoir at 5,300 feet elevation, featuring flush toilets, potable water, and a nearby boat launch (McGuire ramp within a mile) for boating, kayaking, and fishing.

The remote location 36 miles east of Foresthill requires a full tank of gas and advance supply shopping, with no cell service or nearby services available.

The campground operates late May through September and is situated in a scenic coniferous forest near the Granite Chief Wilderness with access to hiking trails including the Western States Trail.
