Overview

Lewis Canyon is a large single-group campsite located in the scenic White Mountains region of eastern Arizona. With several amenities and activities, including hiking and horseshoes, the facility is great for family gatherings and other large groups.

Recreation

A variety of recreation opportunities are available from the campground, with access to the beautiful and extensive White Mountain Trail System for hiking and mountain biking. Numerous Forest Service Roads nearby can accomodate OHV enthusiasts on a variety of terrain. Currently we are in Stage 2 Fire Restrictions so campfires are not allowed.

Facilities

Lewis Canyon can accommodate up to 150 guests. The camping area is secluded, and is spaced around a large loop for the group to spread out. Vault toilets and a picnic area are provided.

Natural Features

Lewis Canyon Campground is located in a beautiful ponderosa pine setting with a large open field nearby. It sits at an elevation of approximately 6,600 feet in the Sitgreaves National Forest. Wildlife including turkey, elk and mule deer are often seen nearby.

Summer temperatures can be very pleasant because of the elevation. However, the summer monsoon season often brings afternoon thunderstorms from late June through August. Visitors should come prepared for rain and cool nighttime temperatures.

Nearby Attractions

Visitors can explore vistas and take part in many outdoor activities in the surrounding Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest, which encompasses 2 million acres of magnificent mountain country in east-central Arizona and New Mexico.

Great place to camp with your family and a group of friends. The trail behind the campground is excellent. The restrooms were very clean and in excellent conditions. There wasn't any potable water like there normally is but managed without it.

The sight was great but there is not a camp host at the moment and several people tried to camp there. We had to have the Forest Service and Sheriff come out to remove one of them. Other than that is was quiet and clean.

Camp ground was great. My only complaint is with recreation.gov. They list this camp ground as first come first serve (FF) is you are trying to reserve less than 4 days from your stay. This is not true. I went to the camp ground and the host said I could not stay there because I had not paid for a reservation and there was no way to pay the host. Site was sending me to host for FF, and host was sending me to site to pay. Get your act together.
