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.

Gorgeous, spacious waterfront campsites. Bathroom clean and comfortable. Neighbor was too noisy with old generator and then had to listen to his country music all day until... 1am.

This place is a gem the sites are far apart and there aren’t very many of them. The camp host Tom is back again this year which is great! He keeps the bathrooms spotless and the place always looks neat and orderly. He doesn’t put up with much “nonsense” and sets a calm respectful tone by example.

Beautiful campsites on spectacular Priest Lake. Clean facilities and sites thanks to Camp Host Jim, who is terrific! Jim greeted us promptly and provided lots of interesting insight into the history of the area and must-see places nearby.
