Truly a hidden gem, Camp Helen is a beautiful daytime getaway destination. With its long and unique history, Camp Helen is sure to appeal to people of all ages.
Visit the lodge and relax in the rocking chairs as you look at Lake Powell, a rare coastal dune lake. Learn stories about the park's history or share some of your own. Visit the Visitor Center and enjoy photos and memorabilia from the park's past, as well as wildlife displays. One of my favorite aspects of the park are the nature trails and our beach, which is unique with the outfall from Lake Powell. Camp Helen is also a great place to fish on our newly built fishing dock, so bring your gear!
If you are interested in taking part in our volunteer program, contact the park for more information.
