About River Point Campground
River Point Campground offers a serene lakeside retreat where the whisper of ancient Western Larch trees meets the gentle flow of the Clearwater River, creating an idyllic setting for nature enthusiasts and water lovers alike. This popular campground boasts 27 well-maintained sites, including five coveted spots with direct river access, providing campers with a perfect blend of forest seclusion and aquatic adventure. The campground's layout thoughtfully balances privacy with community, featuring a mix of shaded and more open sites that cater to both RV and tent campers seeking a quintessential Montana outdoor experience.
Situated on the western shore of Seeley Lake, just 3 miles northwest of the charming town of Seeley Lake, River Point Campground serves as an ideal base for exploring the surrounding Lolo National Forest. The area is renowned for its outdoor recreation opportunities, with the campground offering easy access to swimming, fishing, and non-motorized boating on both Seeley Lake and the Clearwater River. Hiking enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to local trail networks, including a portion of the community trails that wind through the campground, connecting campers to the town and nearby forest lands.
The campground's natural beauty is enhanced by its impressive stand of old-growth Western Larch trees, some over 500 years old, providing a living connection to the area's rich ecological history. Wildlife viewing opportunities abound, with bald eagles and ospreys frequently seen diving for fish in the early mornings and late evenings, offering campers a front-row seat to nature's spectacle. For those interested in local culture, the historic Camp Paxson is visible across the Clearwater River, adding a touch of human history to the predominantly natural landscape.
