Approximately 23 miles northeast of Idaho Falls, Idaho. Cross Heise bridge, continue towards Kelly Canyon. After 2.3 miles, continue straight onto gravel road as the paved road veers left to head up Kelly Canyon. Drive one-half mile and turn right at the Kelly Island Campground sign.
Pretty campground, 14 sites peaceful. Google maps will show you the way, but tried to tell you to turn wrong places. Just follow the blue line and the actual road signs.
Very nice campground. Not close to other campsites. $1o per nite, very reasonable, it has a camp host, nice restrooms
