Hikers accessing the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness will find Kelly Camp Trailhead positioned as a departure point within Umatilla National Forest. This US Forest Service site sits along Forest Service roads in southeastern Washington's Blue Mountains region. The campground provides basic facilities for overnight stays before or after wilderness excursions.
Trail access leads directly into backcountry terrain where permits may be required for extended trips. The surrounding forest offers opportunities for wildlife observation and dispersed camping in designated areas. For additional options, campers can explore places to camp near Umatilla National Forest or check nearby Misery Spring Campground one mile east for alternative accommodations.
