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.

We were in site 13 for this trip to Osprey, one of our favorite sites as it is on the water. Our site was clean upon arrival. Jim, the camp host is back and he keeps the bathrooms spotless. We were there during the week so the campground only had 6 sites occupied so it was quiet and everyone was respectful with their generators.
