      Kelly's Pond Campground

      A Nice Slice Of Solitude

      Kelly's Pond was a great one-nighter for me. It was very quiet, and I had no issues.

      It did appear that some individuals have/had made this a more permanent home, I had been here previously to do some "scouting" if you will, and noticed some of the same campers. They weren't bothering anyone, but if that's something that makes you uncomfortable, you might spring the pocket change for Cagle down the road.
