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.

Had a great time. Our site was right off the water with a beautiful view. We were right next to the playground which was great because we had young kids that could play while we could see them from our site. There was a lot of foot traffic past our site as campers must pass it on their way to the playground or beach but we didn’t mind. The camp hosts were so friendly and even had little treats for the kids. We will definitely be back

Located on the edge of Priest River, Idaho, the Priest River campground, a.k.a. “the mudhole” is a true gem. It not only has the best facilities of any economically priced campground I know of in this area, but it has, by far, the finest, most professional camp hosts I’ve ever known of. It is located right on Priest River so fishing is super convenient. They also have a swim beach and boat launch. We are looking forward to camping there again next weekend!

The campground is great and the older couple who I think are the weekday hosts are awesome. The younger couple (in their 30s-Man with a beard and heavy set blonde woman) were very rude. They told me I couldn't be 1 minute past 12 getting my stuff out so I paid for another day. At 4pm I pulled my rv out to take it home and was going to return to tent camp for the night and fish the next morning. At 4:39 PM they cancelled my reservation without refund and without my permission. They have issues. Beware of them. Again, in their 30s guy with beard and heavy blonde that live in the bright blue bus at the entrance.

We always have an excellent experience at Priest River “the mud hole“ campground in Priest River, Idaho. It’s an excellent spot with excellent facilities and a beyond excellent camp host team. This type of service is unheard of nowadays and yet we hear of it. Do yourself a favor and try this place out. These people really have their heart in it.

This is a great spot, clean facilities and lovely little swim area. The only reason we chose 4 instead of 5 stars is that we stay in a tent. This site is noisy, too close to the road.

We always enjoy our camping trips here. Found this campgrounds by accident and we go back at least two times a year. No matter where we are. Always make sure we stay here. The camp hosts were so friendly and helpful.
