We've stayed there twice in the last 4 years. We have a 25' trailer and prefer site 118 on Snowberry. It offers lots of privacy and trees.

We'll be back again and again!

Beautiful park!

The rain is no good, but if the dogs are that big of a problem find another campground. Most people are easy to work with and asking nice to keep it down works you just have to try. E-coli not cool.

Thanks for reading Patty ! The sites definitely were not ten feet to the water, more like 30 yards to the water.

When we stayed at Osprey last year in May the lake was pretty full of winter run off, and the water came right up to the bank. It was a little difficult to determine where the water line would be during normal conditions.

The site we stayed which was #13 was really was I felt, the best site of the entire campground. With that said, there really wasn’t a defined beach access. There was a little ledge that dropped onto the shoreline and its not a beach

I would call the Priest River Ranger station and ask why so many are available, perhaps they may be restricting reservations for whatever reason. If you can’t reserve a waterfront campsite at this campground, I would probably look somewhere else. Here is the information to the Priest River Ranger District:

Have you been to Osprey Campground on Priest Lake, Idaho. The reservation page says “shoreline sites” available – 10 feet to water. Do they actually border the water? Can you actually have access to the lake directly from your site or is there a steep cliff? I cannot understand why there are so many sites still open still for May, June & July. All campgrounds on Priest Lake are booked solid. Why is this one available?

I carry a gun in National Parks. I also carry a weapon in National Forests, BLM lands, State lands, and so on.

In most cases it is not legal to do so, and I am breaking the law. On the other hand, I have had to flush drug addicts, illegal immigrants, aggressive teenagers, drunks, fighting spouses and other losers out of my campsites since I started camping on my own back in the eighties.

I had to unload a can of bear mace into the grill of a jacked up biker who pulled a .44 magnum revolver on me; luckily, the sheriff was close by to bundle the bad guy off to the pokey. I was out of the campground the next morning by dawn . . . afraid homeboy’s buddies would come back to exact some revenge.

So, yes, I think firearms should be allowed in National Parks (in the hands of licensed, registered owners). At least then I wouldn’t be the lawbreaker . . .
