Shelly Creek Campground

Would not recommend camping here. It's sketchy. On the positive side, the ground is even and there are spots near the river. But the vibes were straight out of Deliverance. Did not sleep a wink.

This is an awesome place to camp there's signs that allows ATVs more spots up where you could camp get more sunlight and better spots with no wind, van drivers I would be cautious to some nice-looking areas front wheel drive Vans will get stuck this is from experience, animal sightings occasionally you'll see a black bear moseying on some nice deer come through a couple silver foxes of in a few fish a quiet spot you get a few other campers driving through here and there but it's great.

There are decent RV spots before you get to the dispersed spot on maps. It is buggy next to creek and there are people living in some spots (obvious from the amount of stuff they have out and laundry strung everywhere). Starlink is ok but not great with trees.

Fall, 2014 Marginal campground. One vault toilet near a disused concrete firepit. Most camping vandals just pulled off into the trees, hacked and chopped everything. Left shotgun shell casings everywhere and tossed a very smelly pile of garbage just behind a screen of shrubs. Your nose will lead you to it a stones throw from the camp sites closer to the creek. On the Shelly Creek (uphill side of main road) some fraudulent "gold Miners" had staked mining claims over all the creeks, illegally. Forest policy specifically denies the right to stake claims over campgrounds. These spaces were cleaner (a relative term) in 2014. In short, if you can get in early, before the so cali scum turn the place to a garbage dump again, it might be ok. But beware, you are not far enough back to escap

Dry camping.pick your own campsite.the beginning of road GREAT for R.V.S.. BUT if you go back to far, NO TURN AROUND. The young people PARTY back there. Great place to get a little sleep
