Our Take
What makes River Point Lolo Campground (MT) special
River Point Lolo Campground occupies a prime stretch of the west shore of Seeley Lake, bordered by the gentle flow of the Clearwater River in western Montana. With 28 sites and a beachfront day-use area, this campground strikes a perfect balance between waterfront recreation and forested seclusion. The setting is hard to beat. Wake up to mist rising off the lake, walk a few steps to a sandy beach, and spend your morning swimming, paddling, or simply watching the light shift across the water. The Clearwater River wraps along one side of the campground, adding the soothing sound of moving water and additional fishing opportunities for those who prefer river angling to lake casting. Trout are the primary quarry in both waterways, and the fishing here is as scenic as it is productive. The Seeley-Swan Valley stretching in both directions from camp is a corridor of lakes, trails, and mountain views that could keep an adventurous family busy for weeks. But River Point Lolo has a way of making you want to stay put. The beach, the river, the towering pines, and the unhurried mountain pace create an atmosphere that invites you to slow down and soak it all in. This is one of those campgrounds where doing nothing at all feels like the best plan you have ever made.
