About Osprey

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 were in site 13 for this trip to Osprey, one of our favorite sites as it is on the water. Our site was clean upon arrival. Jim, the camp host is back and he keeps the bathrooms spotless. We were there during the week so the campground only had 6 sites occupied so it was quiet and everyone was respectful with their generators.

Really pretty campground. Nice and quiet. Kind host. Bathrooms are nicely attended to. No shower area, just toilet/sink.

Not large beach areas but fun to splash around in! Beautiful little walking trails all over.

We specifically stayed in site 15. Overall really nice and away from other sites plus we had kids so being close to the bathroom was also nice. Beautiful view. Very roomy campsite, mostly shade but you get sun mid-day. Downside was the tent site was on the small side for our 10 person tent and the entire site is sloped so there really is just the one small flat spot.

Love this campground, quiet, space between the next site, great views of the lake, available firewood, etc.
The only downside was that the bathrooms are downright gross. I will leave it at that.

The camp host was very kind and helpful.
006 is not what is pictured, it is on the upper part of the camp spots, not a far walk to the lake though. I went Memorial weekend and the mosquitoes were AWFUL! I actually had to cut my trip short due to them. Lesson learned, this would maybe be more enjoyable toward the end of summer!
