Yellowstone National Park
This forested campground is at the southern end of Lewis Lake, about 10 miles north of the South Entrance. It's popular with boaters and is near easy access to Lewis Lake and the Lewis River channel. Sites are first come, first served.
Snow often remains here through June because of its high elevation and shaded location, so it may not be the best early-season campground. Bring insect repellent. Generators not allowed.
