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 feet 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 feet, or about 200 feet 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.

WOW! This is an awesome campground that is so well maintained by the hosts here! It is perfectly settled at the point between Seeley Lake and the river. Our site was riverfront so we were able to launch our boats straight from our campsite. This campground is small, peaceful, and quiet. The sites are nicely spaced out, offer lots of shade, decently level, and have paved driveways. If you don't hav... WOW! This is an awesome campground that is so well maintained by the hosts here!

If you don't have a waterfront spot there is a day use picnic area to easily launch you SUP or kayak right next to the campground. We will definitely be back to River Point, it is such a gem! I wish I could leave a review for just the hosts too, we've stayed in many many many forest service campgrounds these are the BEST hosts we've seen!
