Within Olympic National Park, Upper Lena Lake provides backcountry camping accessible only by hiking or boat. The National Park Service manages this walk-in campground, which requires reservations and prohibits pets. Campers face a challenging climb to reach the site, with snow covering the area through much of June according to visitor reports.
The campground features toilets and picnic tables, with bear wires available for food storage. Multiple camping spots await at the destination, though bees present a notable concern during warmer months. Views extend across the hillside toward the lake when weather conditions allow. Those seeking additional options can explore camping near Lilliwaup for easier access points to the region.
