I would say this is the worst of the grouping of the four average campsites near the middle of Kelly. This one is also mismarked on most maps and has very little evidence visible from the water. I wouldn't be surprised if some folks miss this one on the way by. The campsite is actually on the point to the south. Without much for exposed rock faces or beaches on Kelly, all of the southern sites are pretty shielded from the water, but this one is the most so. Once you land, it actually has some nice tents pads and a few of the other attributes of a site close to an EP.

Not impressed with this site. Minimal views compared to the other sites I stayed it. It is well protected if you are looking for shelter.

Nice campsite. Sheltered. Didnt catch any fish around there though. I would rather have camped up by the stream inlet.

Average site, trees shelter the area and clearing creates a large open area for tents and kitchen. A little buggy and not great for swimming. Other sites in the adjacent bay looked better but were taken.

Nice spot. open fire pit area with room for two lean-tos, which we needed for the 36 hours of rain!
