Hellgate Campground offers beautiful, well-maintained sites with clean facilities and friendly camp hosts, making for a pleasant camping experience. Many visitors appreciate the close proximity to the water and cleanliness of the campground. Some guests suggested improvements for online booking and noted occasional disturbances from other campers, but overall, the location and amenities receive high praise.

We really enjoy Hellgate campground, and area. Our group not only brought a boat but a SXS, so enjoyed fishing and offroading up the canyon. Very pretty. Bathrooms were clean, and supplied with TP. Campground was clean. Hosts were very nice, and made the stay even more enjoyable.
One complaint. We picked this week to pick chokecherries. This year there were none. Maybe you can get more rain next year. :)

Clean, quiet. Liked that most of the sites had direct access to the lake. Sites were a bit close to each other, and lots of people had dogs running around off-leash while we were there. Would have been nice if that rule was enforced better.
