I love this campground. The stalls are nice, I like that each horse has its pun space. The trail system is the best. Easy to navigate and beautiful.

Good campsite, some good hiking trails
Beautiful stream/ creek nearby & quiet
Only one pit toilet for entire campground & very gross
This is primarily a horse/RV campground ( I tent camp )

We absolutely love Kelly Pines! Off the grid with a pit toilet, lots of horses to keep us company. Amazing hiking, lots of mushrooms, and beautiful views of the night sky.

Great time at campground
Trails were very groomed and nice as well as stables.
Had a visit from park rangers who were extremely nice.
Very secluded and quiet experience.
We will definitely return!!!

Kelly Pines is such a beautiful campground. But the manure pit was full and had manure in it from last year. We needed a new map the nearby Ranger station was closed again " on a early Friday afternoon". They didn't have any in the lobby with all the other maps and leaflets.even though a local horse club donated 500 maps to them.

We love Kelly Pines! Bathroom is always clean, love no cell access - kids and I can truly get off the grid! Wonderful hiking and mushrooming.
Wish site #2 was reservable online.

Manure dump was not emptied and was overflowing. Stalls had very strong urine smell.
