Kelly Flats Campground
Kelly Flats is a first-come, first-served campground located adjacent to Colorado Highway 14 and the Cache La Poudre River. There are 29 sites available including four walk-in tent sites. This is primarily an open conifer forest setting but there is a variety of vegetation found along the riparian zone of the river. Each site contains a tent pad, fire grate and picnic table. All campsites with a tent pad have a bear locker. The primary activities in this area include stream fishing and enjoying the ambience of the river as it flows through the campground.
