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.

Number of accommodations: 15

Fabulous views. Very private, large campsites. A series of very tiny sand beaches adjacent to lakeside sites. One small beach for the upper campsites.

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.
