Lake campers who want real water access without driving far from the site. Two beaches, a paved boat launch, and Clearwater Canoe Trail wildlife paddling are all within reach, and the roomy, shaded sites under 500-year-old larch make evenings genuinely quiet. Reserve ahead, this
Spontaneous planners will struggle: reservations are required and sites go fast in summer. The Boyscout Bridge is permanently closed, so confirm the Hwy 83 north / Boyscout Road approach before you leave town, or you'll be doubling back from Seeley Lake proper.

The elevation is 3,993 ft. The campground is adjacent to Seeley Lake with some sites located near swim/"water play area." Other sites overlook a marsh. All sites are nestled among huge Western Larch pines. Seeley Lake is a nesting area for loons, which are often heard by campers. The understory of the campground is lush with grass, wildflowers and shrubs. Outfitters and equipment rental information is available from the Seeley Lake Chamber of Commerce (1-406-677-2880). There was so much to do in the Seeley Lake area. Although the authors were able to survey campgrounds, explore the forest on a couple of hikes, meet several very interesting local people, and enjoy many sights, they were unable to experience the Clearwater Canoe Trail. This brings up two points: don’t be shy about talking with local people, you’ll learn a lot; and, give yourself plenty of time to enjoy a place or plan a return trip. Lolo National Forest 357
