Many good campsites in the woods. Many good campsites on the lake and on a Brook. What is most noteworthy is the staff and especially the supervisor Don! Our battery went dead on our camper. He allowed us to borrow his battery until we could get a new one. He was also especially helpful when I needed open space for our starlink,! so I could work. He allowed us to use the electric at the main campground and supplied us with a long extension cord, so I could work. thanks again Don you were the best. The bathroom and showers are especially clean and supplied well. The beach and view is beautiful. There are canoe and kayaks to rent to enjoy the lake. Looking forward to going back next year .
It's a very nice place and there are some real beautiful sites to see, however there are some small things that could be improved. Overall it's a good place to spend some time.
I almost got eaten by a black bear here. Still came back to visit any time relatives and friends were staying, but that was the last time I ever stayed overnight in a tent ngl. Great place, great trails, nothing negative about it. I'd recommend a campter/rv though... Tents feel like a 'bear burrito' even though they tend to be more docile than hostile, when one tries to get into your tent, it feels hostile. It's still a story I tell with a laugh. I live in the woods now because of staying at places like this. Nothing beats waking up to birds singing.
Lewey Lake Campground offers everyone a lot. The campground is situated on Lewey Lake and has a great views of the Adirondack Mountains. It is also conveniently located by the larger and more well known Indian Lake. A range of outdoor activities are offered at the campground including fishing, swimming, kayaking, and hiking. The lake is easy to access if you want to kayak or canoe. Motor boats are allowed but the boat launch site is run down and it is very hard to launch from here. Fishing in the lake is good. A variety of fish including northern pike, bass, perch, bullhead, and panfish are native to the lake. It is best to go to the southern end of the lake near the Miami River for the best fishing. The beach at the lake is very small. There are shower and garbage disposal facilities in the campground. Occasionally, bears are a nuisance in the campground. The campground is very popular. There are 195 campsites at the campground, but they fill up quickly. Make a reservation early if you want to camp here. The campground offers much to do even if just visiting for day use. If staying in the Adirondacks consider Lewey Lake.
We rented site 82 for a few days. What a treat! We rented a canoe for a day and that was a blast!! The sites are nice and clean and well cared for. It was very quiet despite other reviews saying it's loud. If you go on a weekend you might encounter some younger people that are having fun and laughing, heaven forbid! We will definitely go back.
