Our camp host was horrible.
1. bathrooms were never cleaned the whole 5 days we were there.
2. we had to buy our own toilet paper and we shared with the other campers.
3. all the bear boxes for trash were full. We had to take our trash to the gas station to protect our family from bears.
4. when we went to ask for help from the camp host , he did not answer.
5. Osprey Camp host came and help us one day, gave us Toilet paper and empty the bear boxes.
6. We felt very unsafe , we paid to stay for 5 days , with two campsites. we deserved clean bathrooms and safe place to camp with our families.
7. Our fire pit was so full of ashes we did not feel safe starting a fire. We asked for help , he did not respond to us.
8. I left 2 voice mails while we were there asking for help, no return call and I have left two more messages since we have been home , still no return call. We love priest lake , but this has really upset us. Especially how unsafe we felt.

Outlet is a great place to camp. The spots are pretty good size, and the facilities are well maintained. The swimming spot is also very nice as it is pretty shallow for quite a long way, so it is safe for kids to play. Overall, we had a great time. Only complaint would be one group of people being very loud after quiet hours.

Our first time at Outlet and we may not go back. The camp host was pretty much βabsentβ. Garbage by the bathrooms overflowed most of our 5 nights there. It was appalling to see. Never saw the host check bathrooms, they marked it off as being checked though. A guest left their campfire smolder after checking out and the host never stopped by to check on it so we doused it with water. Such a contrast to what we see at Osprey with Jim the camp host. He is very visible and garbage never flows out of the βbear proof β garbage cans.

We have stayed several times in the past. This was our first trip this year and weβre disappointed. We miss the host from last year- bathrooms were always clean and rules enforced. This was our first trip this year and the bathrooms had not been cleaned for a few days (by looks it was in need and sign in door showed no record of cleaning in 3 days). Trash cans so full you could not put a single item in them. No one enforced the rules and it was obvious. Very loud group yelling and playing music so the whole campground could hear till midnight! Was awesome last year so gave 3 stars but this year would be rated lower.

This is a beautiful campground right on the lake! It's very well-kept, and the bathrooms were very clean. Be advised that there are no showers at this campground, but there are flushing toilets and sinks. The mosquitos were also particularly bad this weekend, so be sure to pack your bug spray!
