Beautiful spot, should go early in the season. The yellow jackets were terrible while we were there. Couldn't cook meat of any kind without being swarmed. However there are a lot of near by site seeing spots. Will definitely go back, just earlier in the season.

This is a beautiful campground right on the lake! It's very well-kept, and the bathrooms were very clean. Be advised that there are no showers at this campground, but there are flushing toilets and sinks. The mosquitos were also particularly bad this weekend, so be sure to pack your bug spray!

Very beautiful campground heavily wooded. Not all sites have a lake view. This is the only campground in this area of Priest Lake with paved roads. My 5th wheel is 36ft and was extremely hard to maneuver here. Dry camping, closest dump station about 7 miles away. No wifi of course. Only water in spring loaded faucets throughout campground. Close to marina. I would stay again but with smaller rig. Camp host very hands off never even asked who we were.
