When we arrived at camp staff and volunteers were eagerly coming to help us have the best possible experience. The camp was clean and beautiful. Great job on the upgrade!

Who puts a campground next to a major highway? I guess the ACOE. Honestly, will never camp here again. Horrible experience especially for tent camping. Could not sleep and in some cases, the noise was so loud, jarring, we got heart palpitations especially when there was a car accident in the middle of the night. Campground is also kind of rag tag, tree debris all over the ground, logs, stumps, no attempt to even make it look "parky" or nice. Felt like being in a logging camp. Upsides: shower/bathroom house was clean. Water was hot, showers free if kept relatively short. Swimming in the river, fun. Terrible place if you are tent camping. Forget it. You won't sleep especially if you are a light sleeper. You may not even sleep in an RV. We won't be back.

Got in late, thankful we saw and reserved the last spot available as there's no walk ins. Never met the host, as we were out early too. One pig camper made a mess out of the very nice single shower room. The water was hot, sites big enough, convenient water taps, bins... worked great for us.

The inside loop pull- through sites are facing the wrong way for RV’s. Also many of the pull-throughs have sharp angles making it difficult to pull your RV through them. We liked the hot water dish washing sinks, and having a dump station is very convenient. The camp hosts were awesome. We enjoyed our stay. It would be great if a sidewalk or path could be connected from the entrance to the bridge so you could safely walk or bike to town.

Site 12 was the best. It’s near the playground which if you have young kids it’s perfect, while also having a beautiful view of the river. Also close walking distance to bathrooms and the waterfront. Our time there was great!

Love this campground. It's small and doesn't have hook-ups but it's in a great spot. Bathrooms/showers were clean and hosts were friendly. See you next time!

I understand they just mitigated the trees there but there is a lot of dangerous hazards with sharp tree branches sticking up all over. Otgwise glad the sites were revamped, looks good

Like every Corp of Engineers campground I've stayed in, Priest River was neat and well maintained. Keep up the good work!

Rangers and Hosts were friendly and informative. Couldn't have been any better. They went out of their way, above and beyond. Facilities were clean.
