Keller Peak Yellow Post Campsites

We stayed at campsite #9. It has a great view and secluded. Some chairs, hammock, water, and utensils were left at the picnic table. Everything was dirty so we assumed they were left by previous campers. We wanted to make sure we weren’t taking someone’s camp so we waited a couple hours before pitching tent. The next day, a local family came onto the site and invited themselves to stay. They stayed behind the large boulder with the picnic table. They were friendly and kind to bring us some smores but I thought it was strange that they didn’t ask if they could stay. They say they come every so often and have dinner there; so be prepared to share or fight them off your campground.

Keller Peak is incredible. Quiet and (mostly) clean sites. Tons of land to hike, on or off trail. Geocaching sites nearby. The Keller Peak Lookout was amazing. I thought it was just a tourist attraction but it’s really a staffed (with volunteers) active fire lookout. Worth the trip for sure.

I got the very first spot. It’s a bit of a drive but very scenic and should be doable in any car. My campsite was big and spacious and looked up at an outcropping of rocks. It had a makeshift fire pit and picnic table. Spots are easy to see because of the yellow signs. Weather is definitely colder than in the valley, got snow overnight in mid May. Had very bad but there at&t cell reception. Nice and quiet with space between spots. Get there earlier to find a spot, people seem to stay for awhile.

I really dig these spots because they are well spaced out. It's right around the corner from my cabin so it's a great spot to get outside for the weekend without an epic drive.

These sites are beautiful - especial #9!  It pokes out over the mountains and has the most unbelievable view!  The hiking is great around here and there are lots of trails to explore.  Hike up to the watch tower and check out all the hummingbirds!

This is yellow post camping so it's hit or miss if you can get one.  Do your homework and learn what you need to know ahead of time - esp regarding fires.

This is basically just sites along a road up to a fire lookout. There are 9 sites in total. Rangers do come by and take down information of the leader of the group. They are very strict on parties are not allowed. NO FIRES. They have had issues with drug use and parties so thats why they are strict. Almost every site is secluded so there is privacy beside the occasional car driving by.

There are only 9 sites stretched across 5 miles so you will have no neighbors. Each site is decent size and tucked away into the rocks. Many will fit multiple people easily. They fill up fast may-sept. The Exploration trail weaves around them up to the peak and makes a great hike and there are tons of climbing spots. The Children's forest and Keller peak fire lookout are at the top giving you great info and great views. There are fire rings but fires are not always permitted so be sure to check with the station just at the bottom of Keller Peak road.

This campground is free with 9 camp site on a 5 mile paved road, the site's have fire ring and picnic benches, no water. Bike trail is fun and a challenge. Camp site 1,3 & 6 are very quiet. I'm on site 4 in a travel trailer very large space with plenty of shade.
