Placid Lake Campground
Placid Lake State Park and its adjoining campground are located in the stunningly beautiful Clearwater/Swan River Valley region. Nestled between the Swan and Mission Mountains and close to lakes Seeley, Swan, and Inez, the region is a year-round hot spot for outdoor recreation. The city of Kalispell and Flathead Lake (one of America’s largest natural lakes) are also less than two hours' drive from Placid Lake. The region is considered to be a gateway to the Bob Marshall Wilderness and Glacier National Park. While there are a number of excellent campsites in the Clearwater/Swan River Valley, Placid Lake Campground is one of the most convenient places to stay if you want to enjoy all of the great things the valley has to offer.Sites at Placid Lake Campground include electrical hookups and access to drinking water, but no hookups for water or sewage; there’s a dump station on the edge of the park, though. Restrooms consist of pit toilets, but there are shower facilities if you don’t want to use your rental while motorhome camping. For the most part, the sites are rustic, with the intention that visitors come to enjoy nature and the amazing recreational opportunities rather than campground amenities.Placid Lake Campground is connected to Seeley Lake and Kalispell via Highway 83 and is just a short distance from Highway 200, which connects the larger cities of Missoula and Great Falls. While both of these are slower two-lane highways, there’s never too much traffic (unless a herd of deer is crossing the road), so it never takes too long to drive to the next town or one of the nearby trailheads.
