Campground Overview

About Osprey Campground

With its idyllic location along the western shore of Priest Lake near Outlet Bay, Osprey Campground offers a serene retreat where towering trees provide shade, and pristine waters beckon for aquatic adventures. This campground stands out for its paved roads, accessible facilities, and the sense of immersion into the untamed beauty of the Selkirk Mountains.

Osprey Campground caters to those seeking solitude and recreation alike, featuring amenities such as flush toilets, fire rings, picnic tables, and potable water stations. The natural surroundings are ideal for boating, kayaking, or exploring the nearby lakeshore trail that opens up to small sandy coves. For anglers, Priest Lake's depths promise catches of kokanee salmon and trout, while wildlife enthusiasts may spot moose, deer, or even an osprey—the campground’s namesake. The Chipmunk Rapids Trail, a short drive away, adds to the hiking opportunities with views of the Kaniksu Marsh and Priest River.

Situated approximately 25 miles north of Priest River, Idaho, Osprey Campground is both remote enough for a tranquil wilderness experience and close to essential amenities. Visitors can enjoy year-round activities including snowmobiling and ice fishing in the colder months, making this an excellent destination for both weekend getaways and extended escapes into nature.
