Plowboy Campground

Plowboy Campground is situated along the shoreline of Priest Lake in northern Idaho. The campground is only accessible by water, with no direct road or car access available. Campers must reach the site via canoe, kayak, or boat. This waterfront location offers direct lake access, making it a destination for those who appreciate remote camping experiences away from road noise and traffic. The water-only access contributes to its relatively undisturbed natural setting.

Plowboy Campground stands out from other Priest Lake campgrounds due to its lack of car access, creating a significantly quieter and less crowded experience. Unlike the more developed and busier campgrounds around Priest Lake, Plowboy attracts fewer visitors, making it ideal for those seeking solitude and a more primitive camping experience. Even during peak summer months, you'll find minimal company, with most visitors arriving by canoe. This campground offers a more rustic, secluded alternative to the more accessible and facility-rich options elsewhere around the lake.

Plowboy Campground offers basic amenities that support a primitive camping experience. The site features a vault toilet for sanitation needs. Along the lakeshore, you'll find several picnic tables and fire rings, though these are limited in number. The campground provides multiple camping sites beyond the developed areas with tables and fire rings. No potable water, electricity, or shower facilities are available on-site. The campground's minimalist facilities align with its remote, boat-in only character. Campers should plan to bring all necessary supplies, including drinking water and any comfort items needed for their stay.
