About Osprey

Campers come to Osprey for sunshine and boating at Priest Lake, and for breathtaking views of the rugged Selkirk Mountains. Fishing is also a big draw, with trout just waiting to be caught. While here, watch for moose, grizzly and black bears, wolves, mountain lions and deer. Osprey, as inferred by the campground name, also inhabit the area.

Number of accommodations: 15

Lovely campground, clean and well-maintained! My campsite was large with beautiful trees, and there was plenty of space between campsites. There is a nice little path that takes you to the shore of the lake. Bathroom has running water with a toilet, sink and mirror. Hosts were friendly and helpful and told me all about the wildlife in the area. I will certainly camp here again the next time I'm in the area.

Water at station south of Coolin turnoff non-potable. Counted on that water supply for past 30+ years. Water at Osprey smelled of mold. Pleas for testing to ranger station and to others (several calls by camp host) resulted in lack of accountability and a "pass the buck" attitude. Had to boil water for coffee, etc. Will camp elsewhere next year. Noted Luby had clean water. NEVER had this happen before. Spent 5 days of our reservation at home (Spokane) because of this.

Lovely, well maintained campgrounds. The bathrooms and garbage receptacles were attended to multiple times per day during our short stay.

Smaller campground. Campground lacks a beach. There is a very small spot to access the water. Water access gets very early sun, but is in the shade most of the day. Campsites are not private and are built for tents and are awkward for travel trailers. Wood was $8 for about 7.5lbs of wood. A big meh.
