This is a very subjective review. If you don't mind hours of dirt road driving, no cell coverage, no electricity (unless you bring it), needing to bring out your garbage, but you love fabulous scenery, world class trout fishing (catch and release only), clear skies and fresh air (when the forest is not on fire) you will rate this a 5 as I have. Otherwise, this place is not for you. BTW, with no in... This is a very subjective review.

This campground is one of my favorites anywhere. I usually stay in dispersed sites, pack my own water and Luggable Loo, etc. because I value privacy and quiet (and don't like paying fees). But when go to fish Kelly Creek and North Fork Clearwater, I pay up and stay here. It is heavily wooded, providing natural privacy, the loudest sounds are from the river and wind in the trees.

The grounds and toilets are very well maintained - hosts do a good job but are never in your face. Easy road access to Kelly Cr and the N Fk both above and below the confluence - enough fishy water here to keep you busy for a long stay.

2 restrooms and water available. Nice spot but the sites are close to each other so a noisy neighbor can be a downer
