If you came to camp Kelsy Creek Campground is a good place to do that, and
why not a little side tour to Snail Creek. But wait, there's more fun stuff to do in the Coast Ranges. Now, you may think that's a lot but there's even more fun stuff to do here at Bear Camp Trail. Indigo Prairie is a perfect site to check out, and drift down the rapids of Rogue
River in a kayak.
