Base Camp is a rare and exciting opportunity for folks to camp on the north side of Mount St. Helens. 

Bring your camping gear, set up for the weekend, and participate in all the mountain has to offer. Gaze into the blast zone and enjoy grand views in all directions, go on a self-guided adventure, or join us for a guided hike. You can launch all your adventures from Base Camp Mount St. Helens, located at the Science and Learning Center above Coldwater Lake. In the evenings, enjoy dinner with us, learn from our guest speaker, and wind down with a s'more at the community campfire. All meals provided!
