West Seelye Bay

Deep wooded sites and water access define this Forest Service campground on Seelye Bay within Chippewa National Forest. The campground accommodates RVs up to 70 feet, though one reviewer notes most sites work better for tents and smaller rigs under 20 feet due to tight maneuvering. Sites extend well back from the road, providing natural separation between camping spots.

Scott M. found the campground full during his visit, despite some sites appearing less maintained. He noted the heavily wooded setting requires tick awareness for pets, pulling several off his dog during their stay. Campers seeking different site layouts can check East Seelye Bay Campground just 0.3 miles east.

Great location for water activities

This site has better private camp sites compared to the East. IT also have more sites located with water access. Very deep sites so you get lots of privacy as well. Very wooded and secluded so you have to watch out for the ticks as we pulled several off of our dog. Mostly tent and small pop ups at this campground...hard to get a big rig in here or anything really over 20 feet. Some of the sites don't look like they get used much and they were not overly maintained, but it was full!
