Kelly Island Campground

Kelly Island Campground offers a serene, primitive escape nestled within a lush cottonwood gallery forest along the banks of the South Fork of the Snake River. Situated at an elevation of 5021 feet in the Idaho Rocky Mountains, this BLM-managed site provides stunning views of the Snake River Range foothills. It is a perfect destination for those looking to disconnect and immerse themselves in nature, offering immediate access to world-class trout fishing, boating, and scenic hiking trails.

This campground is designed for a rustic experience, featuring basic amenities including vault toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables at each site. While the campground provides a central water spigot, it does not offer electrical or water hookups, making it ideal for self-sufficient tent campers and those with smaller RV setups looking for a quiet retreat. Please note that while the surrounding area offers opportunities for OHV riding, these vehicles are not permitted for use within the campground boundaries.

Whether you are planning a group outing or a quiet weekend of wildlife viewing, Kelly Island is well-suited for outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate a semi-developed, natural setting. The site is open year-round for a nominal fee of $10, providing a peaceful home base for exploring the rugged beauty of the Idaho wilderness.
