About This Park
Overview
East Seelye Bay Campground is located 20 Miles north of Deer River off Highway 46 and 4 miles west on Eagle Nest Road (FR 2198). East Seelye Bay has 13 first-come, first-served campsites, a picnic area, swimming beach, boat ramp, and parking area.
The Chippewa National Forest and the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe work together to co-steward resources – making the Forest a great place to recreate as well as a special place where cultural and traditional resources are protected and preserved and the Band’s treaty rights are respected.
Recreation
Opportunities for fishing, swimming and boating on Lake Winnibigoshish abound. The Cut Foot Sioux National Recreation Trail runs past the campground and along Seelye Point, it is an unpaved trail used for hiking and horseback riding. The East Seelye Point Trail also runs through the campground, and there is easy access down the road to the Simpson Creek Trail system.

Electric hookups are available, though water and sewer are shared — a good balance of convenience and simplicity. Set within a National Park or federal land, the scenery here is genuinely hard to beat. Facilities are basic — bring what you need and expect a more self-sufficient camping experience.
