Outlet at Priest Lake offers a beautiful and well-maintained campground with friendly, helpful hosts who ensure cleanliness and provide valuable information. Many campers appreciated the clean restrooms, flush toilets, and family-friendly atmosphere. While water access can be challenging and some sites are tight, the overall experience is positive, with guests eager to return for another stay.

The park attendants were friendly and kept the common areas clean. The camp sights were good size and plenty of room for our camper and vehicle.

I think all the downfall of trees should be cut up for firewood available to campers, or let the local loggers come in and take those downed trees. There is getting to be so many trees down that it is almost impossible to walk through the campground without sticking to walking on the roads. All of the downed trees are a fire hazard because when a wildfire comes through (not if, but when) it will act as kindling totally destroying the campgrounds around Priest Lake. The other option is to cut the downed trees to a length that campers can use an ax to chop off lengths for their campfires. Offering this option to campers would keep out diseased wood from other locations.

We were in site 24. The campground was well kept and we had room for our 19' camper and a tent at the site. There is sticky sap everywhere so our doggo is sporting spots of dirt and random stuff stuck to him now. Hosts were excellent - present and available but not disruptive to our relaxation. There is not a beach where you can spread out a blanket or even a chair if you're in a party of more than 2. Nice loop for kids to ride their bikes around. The RV spots were smaller than expected, so make sure you know the size of your RV! We had to finagle the camper on one side and unhook and park the truck awkwardly diagonal to be in the spot completely. I loved the trees. It was beautifully shaded and cool until we went down to the water then BAM - heatwave! Crystal clear, cool water! We loved it but will look for a better beach for our next excursion.

The camp grounds were amazing. We loved the hiking trails close by and enjoyed half our stay on the lake. The bathrooms were very well maintained and clean at all times. My only complaint is the camp hosts didn't even bother to come say hi when we showed up. Maybe I am just used to Sam Owen where they come and say hi, give you a car pass, and ask if you need any help or have any questions. The only time the camp host here said hi was when they were going across to yell at the neighbors for having their boat off the pavement. Otherwise it was a wonderful stay. Enjoyed seeing the chipmunks running around and saw 2 young bucks roaming the camps.

This was a nice campground with nice camp hosts. It would be a tight area for anything over a 28 ft trailer with a short bet truck pulling it. You are parked on asphalt above the campsite and our campsite had a trail between us and the lake and stair area for all to use.
