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 love this place. However, the camp host presence this year was basically NON-EXISTENT, which is not good. Campers were noisy, barking dogs etc. Usually the hosts of this campground are quite good, making rounds several times a day. These people were like ghosts-if they came around at all, it was very early in the morning and very early in the evening. Noise after 10 pm not addressed. We've been camping here for years and it was quite a disappointment.
