Lewey Lake Campground

First I want to acknowledge Gary and Don, the two people we interacted with during our stay. They are pleasant, helpful, friendly and well informed. We stayed at a site with no sun unfortunately but thats because we waited well into the season before we booked. We were near a rest room, which was convenient. The lake and the surrounding areas are absolutely gorgeous. I took a kayak out ( 20 bucks for 24 hours, pretty damn good) and the scenery was breathtaking. Its hard to know what site to book when you are only looking at a map of sites, but there are MANY on the water and while there this time we scouted the water sites to pick ours for next year. One disclaimer that you should know before going is there is ZERO signal or s=cell service at the site and to obtain a signal you have to drive quite a ways to either Speculator or Indian Lake, maybe a 20- 30 minute drive. This was at first a surprise, but Kind of liked not having to bring my phone anywhere ( except for photos) and the compulsion to constantly check the phone was quickly eliminated , I would definitely rate this site 4 stars and I will be back next year. We had noisy camp neighbors but you cant prepare for EVERYTHING. Or maybe bring ear plugs. :)

There are three good things about this campground and a handful of not so good things. One being the free, very clean, and hot showers. Two being the beautiful view from the sandy lake “beach”. Also, the camp employees were friendly and helpful.
With that being said, we probably wouldn’t stay here again. The trucks and cars fly past this campground at incredibly dangerous speeds. We came inches away from getting slammed into while looking for our site. There should be a 35 mph speed sign in this area, but there is not. You can hear all of these high speed racers throughout the night from your campsite.
The campsite and fire pit had garbage and there were mentions from other campers about mice getting into their dwellings. Also, be equipped with clear trash bags. You can only put garbage in the waste bin if it is in a clear(not traditional white) garbage bag.

There is absolutely no service whatsoever. However you can travel 15 minutes up the road each way for full bars.
