"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
"If having access to your car and a shower are your thing, this campground is perfect."
"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."
"This was the only campground open in late season on Seeley Lake. Not many people. So, very quiet."
"Campsites are close together but there is nice trails, clean vault toilets, picnic tables. Dog friendly but not near the lake."
$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."
"They were all dog friendly and now dogs must remain on a leash and the sites are on top of one another. Just other place that's lost its charm"
$20 / night
"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"
"Lots of walking trails, swimming, boating, paddling."
"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."

"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."
ScoutGreat 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
GuideThis was a wonderful stopover on a road trip. 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. Restrooms with showers and flush toilets were a short distance away. THERE ARE NO SEWER HOOKUPS. However at Seeley Lake, about four miles away there is a dump station.
Excellent cell service for Verizon and T-Mobile.
Reserve ahead to be sure, 18$ plus 10$ internet fee. Or walk up first come first served for $18. And with electric hookups!
Great campground.

GuideThis was the only campground open in late season on Seeley Lake. Not many people. So, very quiet. Some sites are wide open with very little shelter or shade, others are nicely tucked into groves of trees. Almost all sites are angled to back an RV into. Many could handle 30 foot rigs easily. Really strong Verizon signal
TravelerWe 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! The water was perfect, campsites were easy to get in and out of. The bathrooms and showers were super clean. We ran into the same park manager again and he remembered us from our stay at another place. The campground hosts were great. We spent a little time in Seeley Lake and had some great food at The Ice Cream Place. We highly recommend it too - and get Huckleberry everything!
TravelerWe loved this 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. We have a family of 5 so Hauling or 5th wheel around the camp ground was a little tight but we managed. The only thing we didn't like was there were a ton of mosquitos when we went! :(
LegendThis is a popular area along the Swan River Valley scenic drive. It is also near Girard Grove, home of Gus, the largest larch tree in the US. There are many trails, some leading you to this grove on Boy Scout Road.
We were there in mid-September and and there were two camp hosts. Camping fee is $10 plus $5 for extra vehicle. Our site was near Seeley Lake but the smoke made the lake hazy. Our site #21 had lots of room to stretch out. We saw trailers there so there is room for large RVs. It is a very scenic facility and there are large pines everywhere.
TravelerWe had a really nice couple of mid week nights here. We couldn’t get two consecutive nights in a row so had to move spots, but it wasn’t a big deal. 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. They really go nuts when you first pull in but relax after a few minutes. Keep an eye out for bears. We saw a black bear across the road from the campground. The closest cell service is just outside of Seeley Lake.
GuideLake 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. Great swimming in the summer time out to a small island in the center with pebble shores and a bustling population of crawfish. The water is clear and can be very cold. At the shores you can see down into the bottom of the lake. It is a great place to go star gazing in a canoe or kayak. The water is very mellow, no wake waves and the small size of the lake prevents the large white caps that show up on Seeley itself. It's a great place for beginning boaters to get in some risk free paddling. The camp ground is well spaced with separation and plenty of amenities.
