Beautiful and quiet campground. The sites are generously spaced out. There is running water in the bathrooms and they are so clean! Quiet hours were observed and it was a very pleasant experience! Will definitely be back.

Osprey is a wonderful campground! Jim continues to be a wonderful host year after year. I appreciate the low key vibe of the campground thanks to Jim.

This was the absolute filthiest public campground we have ever been to. The camp host site looked a homeless camp with their stuff strewn everywhere (septic hoses, water hoses, boxes, broken totes, random non- camping related junk). The bathrooms, which had running water and flush toilets, were disgusting, filthy and what most people would consider unsafe. We talked to the camp host twice while he was on his way to clean the toilets but they never got touched. The sink was black with filth and there is no way to describe how awful the toilets were. The trash bins were not emptied the entire 5 days that we were there. My husband and I take great pride in keeping our forests clean ( we live in NW Montana) and we couldn't believe that this was actually a national forest campground. We did report the issue to a local forest service station at Priest Lake. It is disappointing enough to pay $ 32 for dry camping and then to experience such a poorly managed campsite. Shame on the local rangers for not checking on the campground and shame on Scenic Canyons vendor for hiring such a lazy , messy , inconsiderate host!
