Lewisia cantelovii is endemic to California and known from Butte, Nevada, Plumas, Shasta, and Sierra counties (CNPS 2001). It is distributed in a limited number of occurrences and is considered fairly threatened (CNPS 2001). Hickman (1993) reports it as ærareÆ. It is threatened by horticultural collecting and road maintenance (CNPS 2001). L. cantelovii is found in broadleaved upland forests, chaparral, cismontane woodland, lower montane coniferous forests on mesic granite areas and sometimes on serpentine seeps between 385 and 1370 meters in elevation (CNPS 2001).
