A perfect rustic camping experience without being too far away from civilization. No running water or electricity, so plan accordingly. The lake is beautiful and full of trout and salamanders. The trail loop is perfect for kids as it's not too long. They also have a day use space for cooking out.
Hebo Lake Campground is so gorgeous! It’s a small campsite that offers ample space between campsites. There is not much to do… but it’s the perfect place to relax. The bathrooms could use some liquid to help worth the bad scent… but if you can get over that… you will definitely enjoy your stay.
This little lake is so quiet and so secluded and has such beautiful scenery in the campgrounds are clean and neat even though you have to bring your own water. It's an experience no one should miss. My son and I spent two days and both of us had our limit of fish within an hour and 10 minutes each day. The campground caretakers are exceptional people and we enjoyed our two days and talking with them. We will be back.
The 0.5 mile hike is fun. Great jump off point to hike other trails. The fish were leaping out of the water. Next time I'll bring a small boat and fly rod.
Beautiful campground! The bathrooms and the campground were very clean, and had lots of trails. We loved walking around the lake looking at the newts! So many and my friends had never seen them before! If you're looking for a peaceful retreat, this is it!!
