East Seelye Bay

East Seelye Bay is a campground in Deer River, Minnesota. The available reviews describe it as a place for tent camping, with campsites right on the waterfront. The campground is also described as quiet, with very close access to the water.

Reviewers mention an outhouse and a fish cleaning station with pump water close to the campground. One review also notes that drinking water pump service was out during a four-day visit, so water access may vary. Cell service was reported as solid for Verizon and intermittent but generally usable for T-Mobile.

Some reviews mention a hiking trail system leading out to the tip of the point, though access paths directly from the campground were described as overgrown or blocked by fallen trees. Another review says the campground is not a good fit for ATV or UTV trail riding. One reviewer also warned that trailers over 26 feet may be difficult to bring in, and said there was only one open spot during that visit.

Visitor comments also describe the campground as a good place for a day of fishing and boating, with campsites close to the water. Another review says it would be good for someone who wants to be by a lake in a tent. The campground’s reported rating is 4.6 out of 5 stars.

East Seelye Bay may suit tent campers who want waterfront camping and basic facilities. It also appears to appeal to visitors looking for fishing, boating, and limited cell service access.
