Seeley Lake Campground
Seeley Lake Campground is located on the western shore of Seeley Lake, a glacial-formed lake situated in a valley between the Swan and Mission mountain ranges. Seeley Lake is one of a half a dozen lakes within the valley known as the 'Chain of Lakes' through which the Clearwater River flows.
Seeley Lake Campground is well known for its picturesque views of the Swan Range and for its towering Western larch trees. The campground receives heavy use and is a popular destination for swimming, boating, fishing, picnicking, and wildlife viewing.
In 2024, the Seeley Lake Campground was closed to start the season to repair the water system. The repairs are complete and the campground opened on July 19.
All campsites at the Seeley Lake Campground are now reservable on www.recreation.gov. If you visit the campground and find an unoccupied site that does not have an incoming reservation, it may be reserved with a credit card by electronically scanning the QR code using the Recreation.gov mobile app (Scan & Pay) at the campsite. Visitors will need to download the free recreation.gov mobile app to their device. This is best done prior to arrival. Please visit www.recreation.gov to learn more.
Currently, there is a bridge closure on Boy Scout Road that is used to access Seeley Lake Campground. The campground must be approached from the north entrance of Boy Scout Road.
