The Best Camping Near Seeley Lake, Montana

Bombs away describes the one and only draw back to our visit, and a funny one.  Pine cones dropping on the RV.  Were the squirrels tossing them?  I had to wonder 🤪

A quarter mile down the road that crosses the river is a grove of Western Larch, also known as tamaracks.  The oldest tree is 1000 years old (see photo). Watch for signage and a tiny parking lot on the left.  More:  https://forestservicemuseum.org/exhibits/jim-girard/jim-girard-memorial-grove/


The campground backs up to the lovely Clearwater river with water lilies.  Paved.  Water spigot.  Put toilets.  So quiet, we planned to stay one night and have been here 3 so far.  Feels like home... barring those pine cones that drop and scare the daylights out of me...

Bombs Away!!

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

Solid spot

Looks like a great spot, however on Oct 9th, camping here is closed. Had a lovely picnic lunch at the day use site. 

Disappointed - closed for the season

Stayed a few days. Water and pit toilets. No electricity 

Great State campground 

We’ve been coming here for about 5 years. It’s gorgeous, mostly quiet and clean. Lots of walking trails, swimming, boating, paddling.
