After a year of major renovations, the campground will reopen May 22
ARIEL — The Beaver Bay Campground on the Lewis River will have an updated look this Memorial Day. After a year of major renovations, the campground will reopen May 22, 2026.
Much of the campground layout has been redesigned to protect adjacent wetlands and shoreline, while still offering guests a total of 78 campsites to choose from, including several with accessible accommodations for people with disabilities. The campground will also have four new restroom buildings and three new picnic shelters with accessible features.
Thousands of visitors use Beaver Bay Campground every year, and we’re looking forward to welcoming them back this spring. Campsite reservations at Beaver Bay Campground can be made starting January 30, 2026, through PacifiCorp’s website.
