Perfect Peaceful Getaway
I loved this place so much that I stayed 6 nights! I was only planning 2. I had the perfect spot right by the river. There were 2 campsites on either side of me but I never heard them. It was very quiet.
There is a hotsprings about 5 miles away which was nice to get to on about day 3 of my stay.
I'm a women traveling and camping by myself and felt very safe here.
Cell reception was pretty good. I have T-Mobile.

Peaceful & Scenic
We followed the directions from a fellow dyrter and it was really easy. Pass the Heise Pools and Campgrounds and drive about a 1/2 mile and make a right at the Kelly Campground Sign. Just follow all the way to the end to find free spots along the Snake. A few vault toilets. We stayed near the cliff where we watched marmots and foxes along the rocks.

Large sites, free, near the river, tons of hiking, cool spot!
Stayed here a few times over this summer, and have enjoyed it every time.
Long dusty road to get here, then a bunch of free sites open up on both sides. The river-side sites tend to be a bit smaller from what I could see, but there are a lot of sites and both times I was there it wasn't crazy busy so options seem to be plenty.
Bathrooms available. Decent cell reception on Verizon. Lots of firewood seems to be lying around to gather as well, a nice bonus. The surrounding area has a lot of trails and other outdoor things to get into. Not all that close to town for supply runs, but not so far away as to require a substantial amount of time to get what you need and get back to the campsite.
For the low low price of nothing, this place is a damn good deal.
