Helende

Dave the camp host was great! We had a wonderful time. We rented the whole campground for a family reunion and enjoyed our time together immensely!

This was our first stay. We really liked it and will return. Very quiet. Nice walks to the river.

Greatly enjoyed this campground. The host had perfect balance running the place. The generators turned on and off at reasonable hours. No prolonged barking dogs. A few short trails right out of the campground. Clean bathrooms and well run.

First time at Helende. Sites are nicely spaced and very clean. Camp was full both nights we were there, but it was very quiet and everyone was well behaved. The South Fork of the Payette is just a short walk from the camp. Camp host clearly keeps things clean and tidy, he also has a great personality. Only complaint was the water pump. It was hard to use and appeared to need some maintenance. Fix the water pump and Helende is just about the perfect campground for a few days of rest and relaxation.

Camp host was excellent. Campsite was cleanable and the bathrooms were the best we have ever used.

This is a nice, clean, quiet campground. Not great river access, but nice anyway. We were surprised that they allowed campfires. We thought there was a burn ban but there was one group having a fire.

Had a great time and enjoyed the open space.

Great little campground! Short drive to the river with very few people, great fishing!

Beautiful stand of Ponderosa Pine and close to river access. Very clean park.

Great trip
