About the Campground

The Kelly Forks Cabin is located within the Kelly Forks compound, an active Forest Service Work Center. It is situated on the beautiful North Fork of the Clearwater River. The cabin is also a stone's throw from Kelly Creek, known world-wide as a "blue ribbon" fishery for westslope cutthroat trout. Kelly Creek and all of its tributaries are protected by special regulations that mandate catch and release fishing, only. These rules are designed to preserve valued fly fishing streams. The cost of the cabin is $55 per night. The fee is based on amenities being offered at this cabin site, which include electricity, hot running water and indoor toilet facilities. Maximum capacity of the cabin is 6 people. Tents or other camping equipment (such as trailers being used to sleep visitors) are prohibited within the vicinity of the cabin facility. Due to space constraints, there is assigned parking for a maximum of 4 vehicles at the facility (a truck with an ATV trailer is considered 2 vehicles). Park only in designated, hardened parking spots to protect area resources. Outdoor fires are prohibited. The Kelly Forks cabin is secured by way of a combination lock. The code to open the lock will be provided to you by the Reserve America agent upon receipt of payment.

Alerts and Important Information The Clearwater National Forest has planned a number of road construction projects for the North Fork Ranger District during the upcoming summer. This could delay your expected time of arrival at the Kelly Forks Cabin or could necessitate a detour to get to the site. Additionally, we expect a number of construction projects to occur during 2010 within eye and ear shot of the Kelly Forks Cabin. These projects have the potential to create noise and dust in the vicinity of the rental. At this time, the construction schedule has not been determined. Please check back to this website for information, or contact the Clearwater National Forest Supervisor's Office at (208) 476-4541. America the Beautiful Interagency Annual, Senior or Access Pass (also known as Golden Age or Golden Access Passports) discounts do not apply to cabin or lookout rentals.
