Nice little campground. Heavily treed so you felt like there weren’t many others there even though it was full. Not much of a beach at all but a decent swimming area. We were at a site by the beach which would be nice except people would just wander through — wish they had trails around campsites more clearly marked. They also closed down the restrooms for like half a day, didn’t seem to have much concern for what tent campers should or would do. Could be managed better.

Beautiful spot with a great view of the lake and ability to scamper down the path for a swim at campsite 17, Loop C!

This is a wonderful campground and the host was very friendly and hard working. The difficulty I had was when I had questions about the size of the camp sites. Nobody at the Forest Service office ever answers the phone. After calling numerous times, I finally gave up and called the Priest Lake Chamber of Commerce. The lady there was amazing!! She actually volunteered to drive up to the campground the next day, give the host some pamphlets and let me know about the size of my site. Amazing! A Forest Service contractor in a far away state was useless in helping me with this information, too. As an ex-park ranger (for a different federal agency) I am completely disappointed with the lack of public interaction by the Forest Service. Customer Service is dead.

It was the 3rd time we spent time at Outlet Bay this year. The camp host there is very sweet and helpful. Bathrooms have flush toilets and soap at the sink.

I love Outlook! The camp host was extremely helpful and welcoming, which made me feel like part of the Priest Lake family. This is a very special place in the world and I look forward to coming back year after year.

Great place to stay at Priest Lake. Path along the lake is very scenic. We really enjoyed having time with the camp host - John. He and his wife are delightful. Be aware your campsite could be next to private homes - this comes with typical late evening lawn mowing, wood cutting with chain saws, etc.
