I enjoyed our stay. Beautiful campground, nice and clean. The host was a little over the top very on the books a little unwelcoming. I guess she’s just doing her job though.

Camp hosts were harassing campers with not paying the correct amount for the stay. Booked as senior lifetime as my wife and children/grandchildren were coming. We had a level 3 evacuation because of fire at our house along with elderly in laws from a nursing home and family dwelling. We stayed to monitor our house and offer assistance to the father in law and mother in law in evacuation of the elderly care home. My daughter still went but because we could not get away they made them pay the difference. The hosts also were speaking badly about friends of our even alluding to the fact that any thefts were probably them. Told this to their daughter not knowing she was. This family is a strong Christian family and would never take anything. We have camped there for many years and never been treated like this. Also told them the beach was closed when they were down by the lake to look at the stars????

Nice spot. A bit smoky when we were there. Spacious sites. Clean bathroom. Just wished people didn’t leave their stuff on the beach for days when they don’t use it every day.

Our family has camped at Luby Bay for 15+ years/Priest Lake for 37+ years, and this was by far one of our worst experiences because of the campground hosts. We completely respect campground rules and understand the host's responsibility to enforce them. Our issue was the inconsistent enforcement, rule embellishment, conflicting information, and the way we were treated. It started with being reprimanded over our generator while others weren't held to the same standard. We were repeatedly told certain rules were "Forest Service rules," but when we checked the website, we couldn't find those rules. When questioned, the response was essentially how they interpreted the rules. We were yelled at for walking the wrong direction, reprimanded for putting loose garbage in the garbage receptacle, and learned the host was talking negatively about us to multiple campers. They even blamed "the people down there in the motorhomes" when another camper reported their campsite had been gone through during the night. One night we took our kids to the beach to look for frogs. We rode from upper Luby down to the parking lot. Before we were able to park our bikes, the host came around the corner on her golf cart loudly whistling and yelling at us, frightening the kids, she told us no bikes on the beach(which they weren't) and the beach was closed at 10. She sat with her lights pointing at us until we left. Shortly afterward, my sister was told they could stay after 10 as long as they were quiet. She later sarcastically cheered for my sister-in-law because she was walking while my family rode our bikes. Enforcing rules is one thing. Singling out, Harassing, ridiculing, talking about, and inconsistently enforcing rules against campers is another. Lots more Issues but not enough room After decades at Priest Lake, we have never experienced this. Luby Bay has always been a special part of our family's summers, which makes this experience incredibly disappointing. I hope something changes.

The campsites in the upper loop of Luby Bay campground are very nice and spacious. We had a good time there. The bathrooms are substandard. We enjoy tent camping and do it a lot and as tent campers, need to use a restroom or use the woods. The bathroom had only one toilet, and the walls, door, floor area around the toilet were very run down. The sink area was also very spartan and in need of updating.
The other issue was the noise at night. Both nights we were there, there was a campsite near us that went on and on with very loud music, VERY bad, loud language, and such until almost 2am. Also, in a campsite just across from us, they had a generator that they ran until almost midnight. Now someone would say we should have notified the campground host to deal with this. I think the campground host should have made themselves aware of this and dealt with it.
