"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."
"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!"
"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."
"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."
$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."

"Great spot right on seeley lake. My area was just a short walk to the beach area. Not much privacy but other than that very nice place"

*Must rent entire facility*
"Camp Paxson sits on the shores of Seeley Lake, one of a chain of five lakes nestled between the Swan Mountain Range and the Mission Mountain"
"Trails all over seely lake. An area with benches surrounding the fire and a stage. Easy to get to."
$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."
GuideWe were here last year. We got a bit of a surprise when we checked in as the price went up from $32 to $42 a night for a dry spot. Even though we use the same spot, our camp represented insisted on riding her bicycle to show us where our spot was. There are no extra porta potties in the back this time. The river is at the end of the property but only has walking access. The bathrooms are spotless the same as last year. In the men's washroom there's only one toilet, a urinal, three sinks and two shower stalls. The water in the shower varies in temperature depending on whether someone has turned on the water or flushed the toilet. They have some very strict rules about where your dog is allowed to go to the bathroom. They have designated areas so that I felt like I needed to carry my cocker spaniel there to adhere to the rules. Seems about 60% full in the second half of May. They have a mini golf course.
ScoutThere are multiple spots to pull off from Garnet Range Rd, and there are spots with a stone firepit along them. Verizon has around 2 bars, there's no toilets or running water.
TravelerStayed before the season. There was no fee charged. Had the place all to ourselves. Quiet and nice. It rained almost every single day. We stayed for 4 nights. Saw deer every night. Campground has too many gophers, and the fishing requires a boat. Swimming allowed, but it was too cold for that. Great trails for small hikes.
GuideVery nice campground! The sites are large, private, shaded, and well maintained. The bathhouse is immaculate and the showers are like you wish you had at home. Staff were very friendly and helpful. There is access to the creek that runs along the campground The sites/grounds, bathhouse and staff are so nice that I give the campground a five even though there are some drawbacks. There is some traffic noise if you listen for it, but it didn’t bother us. Free cold washer and clothes line are available. WiFi is provided, but we were unable to join. T-Mobile service was weak.
TravelerThis is a very nice, well maintained campground. Toilets are very clean, and lots of well established sites. Get here early during the summer to make sure you can snag a spot. Also looks like there are several sites that can be reserved ahead of time.
TravelerWe stumbled up on this campground by accident. We were looking for Lakeside campground, it was closed. Found Lake Inez and it's closed for camping. 6 sites. Picnic tables and fire rings. Small sign stating it was a memorial campground. 1 and 2 are tent sites, and we parked our Class C at site 3. Didn't see the other 3 sites until we left.
RangerHad a great afternoon and evening. Enjoyed the river view and ate dinner at the restaurant. Would stay here again. Small campground maybe 12 spots. Also on the far side there are motel rooms available with river view. All in all a good spot. The restrooms need a bit of an upgrade and cleaning.
TravelerStayed a few days. Water and pit toilets. No electricity
TravelerGood for one night, but there was lots of road noise.
