Let the current carry you. Camp. Unwind. Repeat. Wake up next to the Clearwater River just steps from your campsite. Watch eagles soar overhead, sandhill cranes fly into a nearby field, and gaze at the layers and layers of stars at night. Clearwater Camp provides private access to 13 acres near Clearwater Junction. Use Clearwater Camp as a home base as you explore all the lakes near Seeley Lake, many nearby access sites on the Blackfoot River, or pop into nearby Missoula for your city needs. Or simply hang out and enjoy the site. You can park your van or RV on a gravel area or pitch your tent anywhere on the property. There is also a tipi with 2 cots located on the site that is available for you to stay in. There is a locked A-Frame camper that is parked there full time, but nobody will stay there during your visit. Port-a-potty onsite (cleaned weekly). Picnic table onsite. Fire pit onsite (but be aware there may be fire prohibitions during your stay). The river runs very low beginning in July and is plentiful in the spring. The location says Ovando, however, this site is one mile west of Clearwater Junction. Between Paws Up and the big cow at Clearwater Junction.Welcome to our serene 13-acre riverfront retreat! Here, you can immerse yourself in nature while enjoying the convenience of easy access. RVs and van campers will find a dedicated gravel parking area, while tent campers are free to pitch their tents anywhere on the property. For a unique experience, consider staying in our tipi, which comes equipped with two cots. While our property is conveniently located just off Highway 200, the camping area is set back enough to minimize traffic noise, allowing you to relax and unwind. You'll find friendly neighbors on adjacent parcels. Please note that guests will need to be self-contained, as we ask that you take all waste with you and practice Leave No Trace principles. A portable toilet is available for your convenience. Come enjoy the beauty of nature and make lasting memories at our peaceful getaway!

Loved it! River was a little high compared to the photos due to the time of the year but it was an amazing trip. Wife and three kids first time camping and they all had a great experience.

This is a lovely spot. There is easy access from Hwy 200, a nice big turnaround if you are pulling a camper, and a trail that leads down to the water for some relaxing time watching the water go by. If you have pets, there is a barbed wire fence that helpfully separates the land from the road. We'll definitely go back.

My wife and I had a really great stay at the Clearwater Camp! There was lots of room, a portable restroom, and wide open views. The access to the Clearwater River is unbeatable. The water was so relieving in the middle of summer and wildfire smoke. While there are some boundaries to be aware of, our dog had plenty of room to run around and enjoy himself too!
