Kelsay Valley Campground/Trailhead

Kelsay Valley campground also serves as a trailhead for the North Umpqua Wild and Scenic River hikes. It is a great base camp for backpackers and horseback camping if you’re planning on heading into the high meadows. In the late spring the wildflowers go off, so wait ‘til the water is rushin’ and the cotton is high to hit these trails. Minimal facilities include a vault toilet and fifteen campsite-fire pit combos, but you can park right here before heading into the wild. Seasonal road closure info here .
