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

Love this campground, quiet, space between the next site, great views of the lake, available firewood, etc.
The only downside was that the bathrooms are downright gross. I will leave it at that.

The camp host was very kind and helpful.
006 is not what is pictured, it is on the upper part of the camp spots, not a far walk to the lake though. I went Memorial weekend and the mosquitoes were AWFUL! I actually had to cut my trip short due to them. Lesson learned, this would maybe be more enjoyable toward the end of summer!

We like this small campground. Not much for a beach, but it maintained well and is usually quiet.

Nice campground. Easy to get to. We thought we would have a partial water view but the sites on the top did not have one. Bathrooms were clean.

Fabulous views. Very private, large campsites. A series of very tiny sand beaches adjacent to lakeside sites. One small beach for the upper campsites.

Getting to the water is hard. There has to be a easier way to get down to it.
