River Point Lolo Campground (MT)

River Point Campground has a free day use area on Seeley Lake, featuring a beach, swimming area, picnic tables, and beautiful views of the Swan Mountain range.

Accessibility info and site description: Follow the signs past the campground, straight to the free day use area. There is a large paved parking lot with no disabled parking, and two accessible restrooms at the center. Head toward the lake through a wooded area about 100 ft to the swimming beach. There is a gradual slope down to the water's edge, and a beautiful view of the mountains. To find the picnic tables, take the path to the right of the beach through the woods about 100 ft, or about 200 ft to the left of the beach where there is another three picnic tables and a circle of benches surrounding a campfire. The paths through the woods are mostly flat, covered in pine needles, with some branches, pinecones, and soft spots.

There are many campgrounds around Seeley Lake, but very few day use areas, so I was excited when I heard about this site. It's a short distance from the parking lot to the small beach and offers beautiful views of the Swan Mountain range. The picnic tables are spread out throughout the woods which provides a little space between other visitors. I visited on a cold day in May, so there weren't many other people there at the time, but according to a recreation website, this site gets heavy use all year round. Also note: there was a sign at the swimming beach warning of blue green algae blooms, so be mindful of checking the reports before visiting and checking the water before going in, especially later in the summer and in the fall.

Nice campground right on the lake/river, hosts were very nice, facilities were well maintained. Would absolutely return.

We loved Riverpoint Campground, but the mosquitoes were pesky when we arrived and it took cold rain to remove them. The rain wasn't the fault of the campground and our group of 6 couples were still able to have an enjoyable visit. Kudos to the camp hosts who were both very helpful and very friendly. The camp itself is laid out very nicely with lots of space between sites and a nice swimming beach! The highlight of our 2 day stay was 2 bear sightings. No danger to us and fun to see the bear.

We enjoy our time even when it rain.

First time camping at River Point and just loved it. Nice sized camp sites, with lots of trees for shade. River right there for kayaking and canoeing. If you forgot something Seeley is just 2.5 mi away with store, laundry, etc. Nice walk to the Big Larch tree or other trails. Will be booking this site again.

Very clean campground. Very quiet at night. No generator usage between 10 pm and 6am. Lots of trees for shade. Also, lots of biting insects. Couldn't really sit lakeside without being swarmed by mosquitoes.
