About this campground

Campers come to Osprey for sunshine and boating at Priest Lake, and for breathtaking views of the rugged Selkirk Mountains. Fishing is also a big draw, with trout just waiting to be caught. While here, watch for moose, grizzly and black bears, wolves, mountain lions and deer. Osprey, as inferred by the campground name, also inhabit the area. Campground roads and parking spurs are paved and facilities are accessible. Amenities include flush toilets, fire rings and picnic tables that are naturally shaded by towering trees.

Boating, canoeing, kayaking and wake boarding are summertime favorites. Boaters like to head north on the lake and traverse a narrow thoroughfare to reach Upper Priest Lake Scenic Area. Anglers often catch Dolly Varden and cutthroat trout and kokanee salmon.

What campers say

Small, peaceful campground on Priest Lake with well-maintained restrooms and friendly hosts. Sites are wooded and generally roomy with picnic tables, grills and easy access to the water; lakeside spots and walking trails are highlights. Expect limited beach space and modest water access rather than wide sandy shorelines. Sites are primarily non-electric and some are sloped or better suited to tents than large travel trailers. No shower facilities are available. The setting is quiet and family-friendly, but consider site size and layout when booking if you need level ground, hookups, or extensive beach access.
