Great time to camp...post Labor Day. Jim is an excellent host.Recommendation: When I booked originally no sites were close to our friends. When we arrived there was a "no show" in a site closer to them so we moved. Why do I have to pay AGAIN when I already paid for a site. That is not very user friendly...I understand that Jim has to follow YOUR rulesbeverly schoen

Jim is a super camp host!

tent camping July 23rd and 24th 2024, the shade campsites are nice. There is about 5 feet area where you can get in the water, we went to Luby bay area, the beach is very nice there. There are thousands of bees or flying insects at the campsites which look like bees which made it impossible to eat or prepare any meal there or sit and relax. Shaded tent sites were appreciated. We left the day before our schedule date and not planning to come back there.

Best campground on priest lake!! Very roomy and private sites! Camp host is very nice!
@NicholeW667449 · Camped on Jul 1, 2024 at Campsite #8
Large, heavily forested, private sites. Sites 1-8 are on the upper road with no direct lake access and min water views. Sites 9-13 are waterfront and Sites 14 & 15 have water views. Good lakeside hiking trail. The "beaches" are more like small sandy coves. We launched our kayaks from 1 of them. Flush toilets, water spigot, and bear-proof trash bins are available. The host was very attentive and helpful. Cell srvc was spotty. We fished and caught smallmouth bass, trout, and brown suckers. The closest boat ramp is at Outlet bay about a mile away and parking looked min to none. The Tamrak, a few miles up the road, is an excellent grocery and hardware store.

@tomw9760406 · Camped on Jun 9, 2024 at Campsite #13
Everything was very clean and well kept.
@michaely600529 · Camped on May 18, 2024 at Campsite #9
This place is a gem the sites are far apart and there arent very many of them. The camp host Tom is back again this year which is great! He keeps the bathrooms spotless and the place always looks neat and orderly. He doesnt put up with much nonsense and sets a calm respectful tone by example.
@JoshS9658841 · Camped on May 18, 2024 at Campsite #11
Gorgeous, spacious waterfront campsites. Bathroom clean and comfortable. Neighbor was too noisy with old generator and then had to listen to his country music all day until... 1am.

Beautiful campsites on spectacular Priest Lake. Clean facilities and sites thanks to Camp Host Jim, who is terrific! Jim greeted us promptly and provided lots of interesting insight into the history of the area and must-see places nearby.
@RobertP6375002 · Camped on Aug 21, 2023 at Campsite #5
First, Jim the camp host the best! Full of information, and kept the camp clean and picked up.
@JenniferM11870 · Camped on Aug 6, 2023 at Campsite #2
Two bathrooms with flush toilets and sinks, but hadn't been properly cleaned for some time.
@TylerL2200457 · Camped on Jul 28, 2023 at Campsite #4
The area is beautiful. Great camp site with lots of trees for shade. Restrooms were very clean and orderly. I will be camping again here.
@jasonl2729902 · Camped on Jul 23, 2023 at Campsite #14
Camp host Jim does an excellent job maintaining the campground, especially the bathroom. Super friendly fella as well.
@WesleyH6529621 · Camped on Jul 23, 2023 at Campsite #7
Great camp host, Wonderful spot next to the lake.
@ErinND107F60A8 · Camped on Jul 14, 2023 at Campsite #10
Campground was fantastic! Great spot for tv or tents and right up near the lake. Had our own little private water area. Only downside is the restroom is a bit of a trek with little ones.
@BetteLPD14AB84 · Camped on Jul 2, 2023 at Campsite #12
Jim, the host, is the most hard working and kind person you will ever meet. He keeps the campground and each site neat and tidy! He collects the garbage several times a day as well as attending to the bathrooms! We love the camp sites, especially those on the water. With only 15 sites it is a rather quiet place! Great trails and close to everything you might need!
@JillH9395170 · Camped on Jun 10, 2023 at Campsite #15
Best site ever. Quiet, clean and close to water. Camp host very nice
@PamS5221697 · Camped on Jun 5, 2023 at Campsite #13
We were in site 13 for this trip to Osprey, one of our favorite sites as it is on the water. Our site was clean upon arrival. Jim, the camp host is back and he keeps the bathrooms spotless. We were there during the week so the campground only had 6 sites occupied so it was quiet and everyone was respectful with their generators.
@JeanneDE71D5D8 · Camped on May 30, 2023 at Campsite #12
Large beautiful lakefront site. Attentive camphost.
@KathrynG296075 · Camped on May 28, 2023 at Campsite #6
The camp host was very kind and helpful. 006 is not what is pictured, it is on the upper part of the camp spots, not a far walk to the lake though. I went Memorial weekend and the mosquitoes were AWFUL! I actually had to cut my trip short due to them. Lesson learned, this would maybe be more enjoyable toward the end of summer!
@TimK7749908 · Camped on May 26, 2023 at Campsite #7
Nice quiet campground.

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

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!!!
