§ 02 — OVERVIEW
River Point Campground on the West shore of Seeley Lake is bordered by the Clearwater River to the North. Beach-front day-use picnic sites and a roped swimming beach are just a short walk away from the 27 RV/Tent sites.
This includes 5 sites with river-front access. River Point is a popular campground and day-use area that sees heavy use all season. The campground is well known for its sweeping views of the eastern shoreline, area peaks, and the old growth Western Larch trees that tower over the valley.
The campground is popular for swimming, fishing, biking and paddling. There is no boat launch at this facility. A portion of the community trails network comes through the campground. The trails provide non-motorized access to town and nearby forest lands. The Clearwater Canoe Trailhead just North of Seeley Lake offers excellent flat water for viewing wildlife such as blue herons and river otters. The water trail is popular with canoeists and kayakers as it stretches 3.5 miles, or a couple of hours, down the river. The Morrell Falls National Recreation Trail on the East side of the valley offers an incredible day hike exploring recent burns, dense forests, and a large waterfall.
The 27 individual RV/Tent sites are avaliable for reservation the Friday before Memorial Day to the Tuesday after Labor Day, when the campground gate closes for the season. Campsites are equipped with a picnic table, fire ring with grill, and a paved parking stall. Accessible vault toilets, drinking water and trash receptacles are available throughout the campground. Campground hosts are on site 24 hours a day. The campground is adjacent to a spacious day use beach with a roped-off swimming area and several picnic sites. Day use facilities are open year-round from 6:00 a.m.-10:00 p.m. Mountain Time. No fees or reservations are required for day use.
The campsites offer the chance to spend time with the old growth Western Larch trees. Many of these trees are over 500 years old and several feet in diameter. Just a short distance away is the Girard Grove, home of a Western Larch tree over 1000 years old and more than seven feet in diameter, known as “Gus”. The historic Camp Paxson can also be seen across the Clearwater River. Bald eagles and osprey dive for fish in the early morning and late evening.
