Update: As of 9/16/2017, no water is flowing from the pipe at Kelly's Camp. I had to backtrack to Columbine Spring to fill up on water.

I was up at Kelly's Camp this past Saturday, 5/19. I only found one pipe (there used to be two), the one in the above photo. No water. Not even dampness.

Thanks Jim. I was planning on camping there in a couple weeks. Might opt for option 2 instead.

Cedar Glen supposedly has water, and Third Crossing always has water. Kelly? None.

Has anyone recently checked the spring situation here?

I couldn't find any flow there two years ago. It was early May, so it wouldn't have been dried out yet.

If I recall correctly there used to be a natural spring a little beyond the piped one. But they both seem to have disappeared.
