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.

tent camping July 23rd and 24th 2024, the shade campsites are nice. There is about 5 feet area where you can get in the water, we went to Luby bay area, the beach is very nice there. There are thousands of bees or flying insects at the campsites which look like bees which made it impossible to eat or prepare any meal there or sit and relax. Shaded tent sites were appreciated. We left the day before our schedule date and not planning to come back there.
