What Guests Are Saying
Priest River Campground offers spacious and clean sites, well-maintained facilities, and friendly hosts, making for an enjoyable camping experience. Guests appreciated the beautiful beach area, clean bathrooms, and helpful staff, enhancing their stay. However, some noted noise from the nearby highway and the need for better site management, particularly for tent camping.

I could not find Meadow Creek campground in Recreation.gov's listings. However, I did spend 2 nights there after staying at Priest River Recreation area.
Along the banks of the Moyie river in N Idaho I could not have been happier with this campsite. Above all were the camp hosts Linda and Floyd Garcia. They are the epitome of hospitality; friendly, helpful, and genuine. They will keep me coming back.

This place is just about too good to be true. Unbelievably great camp hosts, nice restrooms, good fishing, and the place is superbly maintained. The town of Priest River is just up the road and has about anything you’d need. They sell firewood here and give the best deal around this area. I absolutely recommend Priest River Campground! 😃👍🦅

We have spent a lot of time in this campground. over the years. This trip was the least favorite time we ever had. The campground host were ridiculous with there efforts to try and keep us off the river. We were harassed by them daily, and the rangers telling us how the river was closed, due to high water volumes. After checking with the Sheriff Office I found out that the river was not closed. The campground launch was closed, no problem there as we had kayaks and could launch anywhere. I have vast experience in moving water and know when water is a danger and when it is not. Even people using the beach were harassed when their children were up to there ankles in water, no where were there signs saying beach closed or no swimming. This was excessive by any strech of the imagination. Other than that it was fine.

#3 good corner space. Level driveway. Lots of hammock if trees. Sites well spaced. Very shaded. Slightly mosquito-y. Clean bathrooms & free showers. Several loops to ride your bike along. River running high & fast so unable to put paddle board in or swim. Friendly, helpful camp hosts. Negatives; campground is directly next to highway 2 & there’s unavoidable freeway noise at all times, although it improves at night. No hookups & difficult to get any solar due to heavy shade.

Campground was very nice and the hosts were great. I had a campsite next to some people who thought they needed to play music until late at night and the traffic noise is noticeable on one side of the campground. It would be nice if they put up a high wooden type fence along the road.

Love this small campground! Love the amenities including; showers, nice bathrooms and washing dishes sink! Always have a great time here for the 4th of the July, but not as much this time. The campground host was different this time, unfortunately. We had to set up our (we had 2 sites between our group; side by side) tents in the rain. It took over an hour before the host to come over to our site to check us in. We had 2 tents and bug net set up. The host then told us we had to move our tents inside the log area. We've never had to do this before, but it would have been great if he came over when we checked in at 3pm. We never had any other conversations with them for the next 4 days. The hosts are usually so nice and polite. It ruined the small close nit campground feel.
