Kelsay Valley Forest Camp
The Kelsay Valley Forest Camp Campground is located along the beautiful Wild and Scenic North Umpqua River. Listen to the North Umpqua River as it rushes through a lush high Cascade meadow. Brilliant colors can be seen in the spring as flowers explode into various purples, reds, yellows, greens, and whites. Nearby a trailhead provides access to Porcupine Connect Trail #1412A, which leads to the North Umpqua Trail #1414, and Windigo Pass Trail #1412. There are not garbage services at this campground, so please be prepared to pack out your trash.
Traveling with pack animals? Kelsay Valley Horse Camp can accommodate pack and saddle use as well as standard camping.
