About this site
SourceHelmer Lake sits close to the Coquihalla Highway in the Merritt area, which makes it one of the easier recreation sites to reach. The lake is about 0.3 km from camp and fishing is the main event, with hunting and snowmobiling in the mix.
Eight sites, first come, first served, on gravel.
Nothing is listed for fuel out here, so top up in Merritt and arrive carrying what you need.
