Everything was good except the bees were super out of control. We had to eat our meals in the lake because there were hundreds swarming non-stop. But besides that the beach was beautiful, water clear, campsite was very large.

Ive been going to Bartoo island with my family for many years now. We have always loved the island, the Beaches, the fishing, and recreation of Priest Lake. The Parks and Rec really need to install more vault toilets, my only complaint.

Sites were spacious and nice, however the yellow jacket problem was really bad.

Our family stayed 4 nights on Bartoo Island in July 2022. With the large group, we reserved 3 adjacent spots (#14, 15, 16) and it was perfect for our group of 12. #14 has the best swimming area and boat area. There were several excellent spots to put up a tent. #15 had great space and 2 large tent pads that worked great, but there is nowhere to tie your boat at #15, as there is no sandy beach to come up to -- it's all large rocks. #16 is a great place to boat-in, large beach for swimming and play and our kids loved it! There is one small privacy area in between 15 and 16, but it doesn't appear there is one for each site. There is also a bathroom privacy area for #14. We brought a portable toilet and it worked great since we had all 3 sites, but maybe would have been weird if there were strangers on the adjacent site... The views from all sites were stunning! You get all the morning sun and into early afternoon (until about 5 pm when it starts to go behind the mountain.) We would definitely stay here again and I would highly recommend reserving all 3 sites if you have a small - medium sized group!

This site is horrible. There is no place to park your boat as the beach is really rocky. Both sites on the side are great but this was aweful.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
