Luby Bay

Great stay over the 4th at Upper Luby Bay. Campground was clean and quiet and the host were great.

I’ve never left a review before for a camp experience. I’ve been going there for 50+ years. Oh my!!! The camp host leaves much to be desired. You’d think you could find something else to do besides harass kids on Bicycles, Didn’t spend that kind of money in order to do that much interaction with someone we didn’t go there to see. How about clean the toilets!! I’ve had to take pictures of the restroom conditions which certainly were not cleaned on a daily basis, bring hip waders and your own decontamination equipment in order to use the restroom.

The camp hosts were very attentive, we went under a fire watch and they made sure everyone was safe. Other than that, staff was very hands off, the camp sites are well forested and spaced well, and the lake was a short hike away from the upper loop. Absolutely a well balanced experience of solitude and group camp. I could tell the bathroom was cleaned regularly, and all people were respectful of quiet hours. Overall a very beautiful site I would recommend to anyone looking to get away.

We have camped at Luby Bay for 40 years. We love the beach, the spacious sites in the middle loop, the lakeshore trail and access to Hills Resort. We are terribly disappointed in the condition of tables and restrooms. The tables are rotting and the restrooms are rusting away. We noticed a lot of little pieces of garbage throughout the campground. Also, there was a huge group in one of the pull-through sites with two RVs, 3 cars and probably 5 or 6 tents. Too much.

We will be back. Such a great spot. My kids loved the beach area!! So close to everything priest lake has to offer. Loved that the kids could ride bikes. Was quiet at night. Everyone was respectful of noise .

We love Luby Bay!! My husband’s family has been coming here for family reunions every year for 50 years! It always feels like a slice of heaven to be in the forest and be with family and to play at the beach.

Host was excellent and very helpful as I needed to find a spot for five nights before my regular reservation due to a wildfire evacuation at home. In my opinion lower Luby is the best National Forest campground on Priest Lake.

Avoid this place at all costs

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.

Hosts were very attentive and communicative and campground was in perfect shape.
