About this site
SourceHelmet / Ochre Junction is a backcountry campground in the Golden area with no facilities on record, so it is a self-supported trip from the moment you leave the car.
Camping runs on reservations, so book before you drive. The Ochre Beds & Paint Pots Trailhead is about 5.2 km away and Kaufmann Lake about 8.7 km.
Services are distant. Field is about 29.7 km off, with fuel at the Yoho Brothers Trading Post about 29.9 km, so arrive with a full tank and full packs.
