Helende

There is no camp host, which was fine but no one cleaned or stocked the bathrooms for 5 days. This is unacceptable when fees are charged.

Unfortunately we were camping during a major rainstorm. However, the sites are nice and large, the tent areas are pretty level and there are glorious trees everywhere. We were the only people there one night, but the sites are far enough apart that you’re still able to have some privacy. Plenty of downed trees to scavenge firewood. There are only two pit toilets in this campground. There is a large trash receptacle. There is potable water on site by way of a hand pump. There is grass in the water, but we spoke to the ranger who informed us the water is tested regularly and it is perfectly safe. The sites are well marked and there is plenty of parking. Fire rings with grills are provided, as are picnic tables. Helende is on the Lowman highway, so there is road noise.

This campsite was fantastic! Clean, beautiful view, and very quiet. Seems like a very family friendly spot to tent camp or RV camp. We will definitely stay there again!

Nice quiet campground.

Great Campground. Great campground host. Great fishing in the area. I'm there many times a year.

ENJOY OUTDOORS!

We had a great weekend at Helende. We are so grateful for Richard and Andrea, the camp hosts. They came to our rescue when we had an issue with our trailer. They are awesome hosts and we hope they will be there again next year.

Having camp hosts was great. Restrooms were cleaned and stocked. It was a quiet week and no incidents or issues.

The campsite was perfect for a group - it was flat so it was easy to see the kiddos running between multiple sites. It was quiet, small, and the bathrooms were clean! The river was a short walk away which was very appreciated in the hot days. There’s a lot of loose dirt, all around the sites and pathways, so expect to need to wash everything down and take 3 showers when you get home to feel clean. All in all, a good site.

Great Location!! Within walking distance from the water, Sandy, Beachy areas for the kiddos, GORGEOUS CAMPGROUND, Will definitely return again, Hosts were AWESOME! We got a double site was a little smaller but we made it work. Not a lot of shade but we managed. Would definitely go back!

Great quiet place.
