"America''s Next Top Llamas are having a blast at Seeley Lake Campground"
"It was very well kept and close to the town of Seeley Lake which we liked. The campground was very quiet and the beach area was nice and relaxing."
$24 / night
"Beautiful lake, rich forest area. Camping spots were nicely spread out, all paved. Ours, number 27 was a pull through. Easy access, a clean spacious vault toilet very close by."
"We stayed at a couple of state parks in Northwest Montana, but this one was by far the best! We planned to spend a week in the area and had to split the stay between two parks. Placid was amazing!"
$24 / night
"Well managed, clean, and pretty campground with views through the trees of Salmon Lake. Best access to the lake is from the day use and boat ramp area south of the campground."
"If having access to your car and a shower are your thing, this campground is perfect."
$20 - $50 / night
"This was the only campground open in late season on Seeley Lake. Not many people. So, very quiet."
"Around Thursday evening, Friday morning, it fills up more but there’s about 50 sites and still had some free while I was there. You can walk to the beach access from the campground."

"Lots of walking trails, swimming, boating, paddling."
$20 / night
"Lake Alva is a no motorized water vehicle lake which makes it the quietest of the large lakes in the Seeley Lake chain. The beautiful mountain views and calm waters make for a restful trip."
"Cell coverage very spotty, better by lake. Close to road, but you don't hear road noises. Entrance not marked well."
"It’s $12 a night per campground if you have your Montana’s fishing license, camp spots are right next to the river with easy access."
"Good spot that’s just short of salmon and seely lake. It gets really packed in the summer but if you can go earlier in the year or mid week should be ok."

$22 - $250 / night
"Our daughter braved a chilly swim and there were lots of dirt roads and little trails for the strider bikes. Bring bug spray, the mosquitos are out."
"The hike to the waterfall is beautiful, and swimming and snorkeling in this lake are wonderful due to the clarity and purity."
"This charming campsite East of the small and charming town of Ovando, Montana, is more than a boat launch, it's a camping way of life."
"You can walk right into the river from your campsite."
ScoutCampground is no frills, but beautiful mountain views and fairly quiet. Krystal, in the office, is very helpful. There are a few spots with hookups, but the ground is very uneven. The best spots are W&E, and the dumpstation is at the Cenex in Ronan. Many full-time residents.
TravelerGreat spot. Really private, beautiful view of the mountains.
We have a 27 foot RV towed with a truck that has a 8ft bed. Initially we missed the turn and had nowhere to turn around since this is on the side of a mountain.
A couple miles down the road, I noticed a u shaped turn around on the side of the road and decided to pull through it. There was a huge dip and I got my tow hitch stuck. My tires couldn’t get any traction.
Luckily a nice guy with a truck and some chain pulled us out. We ended up finding a turn around. We did have to hop out of the truck and maneuver it a bit.
However, we found the right road. The site was reasonable to back into. We are parked in the front, I wouldn’t recommend parking a 20ft plus rig in the back site.
Something is eating big game out here so lock up your food.
Wayyyy better than sleeping in a parking lot.
ScoutThe gate to the campsite is closed from 10 PM to 8 AM so if you need to leave early, you cannot do so the creek was all dried up and it just overall was not a great campsite. We packed up and moved on.
TravelerWe stayed in one of the designated camping areas that has a fire pit in it and it was a good spot, tucked back but not isolated. There was a restroom in the center of the trailhead but no bear box that we saw. We didn’t get there until late at night, around 10, and still had a large number of campsites available. The only downside to this location is the access road being full of potholes, and if pulling up to the site late at night be careful for the narrow, winding roads that have a large drop off.
GuideIt's a great place to relax and reset after spending time in crowded national parks. We stayed three nights and enjoyed all the extra space for us and the dogs. It's spotless and quiet, and all the sites are spacious and comfortable. The town of Lincoln is charming as well
GuideNice quiet camp ground. Easy access and simple you can get a small camper in there. Planted cutthroat trout in lake.
ScoutWe enjoyed an incredible weekend at this campground. Nice clean restrooms, spacious sites, and they even pick up your trash every morning. Great dog park. The owners are very helpful and friendly . We definitely will be back.
TravelerThis is a great place for a few days. There are no hookups, but there is a water hand pump. You can walk right into the river from your campsite.
GuideGreat river access and shady spots with some full hookups available. Dump station is nice too! There was a water advisory during our visit so drinking water was provided. Would stay again!
