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.

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.

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!

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

Our favorite campground ever! I say this for several reasons:
1. Very friendly and efficient camp hosts.
2. Great amenities.
3. Fantastic location, right on Priest River and on edge of town.
4. Often good fishing.
If you have not been here you need to try it!

This park was small and friendly with nice, clean bathrooms, hot, high pressure showers, dishwashing area, and large, shaded sites. Camp host was friendly and helpful.

Nice sites, clean facilities. Close to the highway so there’s a lot of road noise.
