Mama moose & baby moose made a showing! Cheeky littke chipmunks gave us many laughs. The beauty is breathtaking! Coyotes howled across the lake in daylight. What a vacation!

Our camp host, Deb, was THE ABSOLUTE best! She is meant to do this work, and is so good with all the people! Also, top notch bathroom cleanliness!

It was absolutely beautiful.
I will confess I only made it to Lake Helen due to several factors. The elevation I had difficulty adjusting to but mainly poor preparation on my part . I didn't anticipate the terrain (last wooded part before Lake Helen) to be that difficult. I overpacked. I backed too heavily as well. I'm "guessing" the hike was 5 1/2 to 6 miles ( halfway around Lake Helen. Would appreciate any concrete number on that. It took my son 4 hours while taking pics and took me 7 and 3/4's hours.
That said and a bit wiser I plan to return in May or June with all 3 sons. I am 64 and in fair health. My lack of complete (new hiker) complete research,preparation made it more difficult than it had to be. The vistas,scenery and quiet was incredible.
I'll be seeing you at Mistymoon Lake, the waterfall and " potentially the summit soon.
Beautiful, breathtaking and the 20 people we encountered were very , very friendly.

Beautiful lake with mountain views, and the campsite we had was roomy enough for our TT and our son's tent. Downside was the very busy weekend we had booked. All sites filled, vehicles coming and going, noise, and even day-use people hauling kayaks and paddle boards to the lake between our site and the next. Considering the long wash-boardy drive in, I was surprised to see all the activity.

As usual, there is plenty to do in this area and the camping crowd seemed relaxed and well behaved. The campsite host (from Island Park) makes several passes through each day-she does a great job of keeping things in order / maintaining cleanliness (pit toilets -garbage pick-up completed daily). Water from the well is cold and refreshing! Great area !!!

Great spot next to the lake. Clean campsites, good drop toilets, and great views.

Beautiful campsite within 15 feet of the lake, also near the water pump & not far from outhouse. We had a fabulous time. Highly recommend!
