Senieur's Reach Primitive Boat Camp

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Paddlers floating the Upper Missouri River reach Senieur's Reach Primitive Boat Camp at river mile 16.2, accessible only by water. The site sits under cottonwood trees and includes a single fire ring cleared of surrounding vegetation. No outhouse or tables are provided. A rope swing has been rigged in one of the large cottonwoods, and the river is right there for swimming. Campers planning a float through places to camp around Fort Benton can pair this stop with nearby boat-in camps like Black Bluff Rapids Primitive Boat Camp a couple of miles upstream.

Nice primitive camp

We give this our highest primitive camp review of 3 stars. Site had one fire ring that would be safe to make a fire at as the area around the ring is free of vegetation. Nice camp locations under the cotton woods. No outhouse or tables. A bonus is the swim someone has made in a large cottonwood. Located at Upper Missouri Rive Breaks National Monument river mile 16.2.
