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.

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

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.

Nice campground with flush toilets and running water in the sinks and light and fans in the bathrooms. John the camp host made us feel welcome and was nice to visit with.

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!

We have stayed several times in the past. This was our first trip this year and we’re 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.

Our first time at Outlet and we may not go back. The camp host was pretty much “absent”. 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 “bear proof “ garbage cans.
