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

Stayed in site 6. What can I say, priest lake is better than Tahoe. Clean water and less people. We loved this place.

Beautiful place. Unfortunately the other campers were loud, young girls running around screaming and laughing all night, setting off firecrackers for hours. Dogs off leashes and barking. A few bad campers really can spoil things.

Close to the water, deep among the trees. This campground is conveniently located within driving distance to many trails, and the beach access to the lake is a big plus.

Signing up for a site is a nightmare and most sites are fully booked before the six month requirement. We feel something should be done to make the signing up for sites easier and fairer.

Nice being close to the water to kayak. The trail along the water is nice but very muddy this year.
