Priest Lake was originally called Roothaan Lake by Father Desmet in 1846 in honor of his Jesuit Superior in Rome. One of the prominent peaks in the Selkirk Range still bears the name Roothaan. In 1865, Captain John Mullan designated this same lake as Kaniksu Lake on one of his maps. It is believed that "Kaniksu" was the Indian name of Black Robe, although this has never been authenticated. The name was gradually changed in the early 1900's from Kaniksu Lake to its present name of Priest Lake, which refers to the early-day Jesuit missionary priests who had established a base camp at Kalispell Bay in the 1840's. The lake is one of three largest and most beautiful lakes in the Idaho Panhandle, and a very popular recreation attraction. The world's largest Makinaw trout was caught here in 1963. Dolly Varden, Cutthroat, and Kokanee are also caught in the lake. It is now illegal to fish for Dolly Varden and they are to be returned to the lake when caught. Upper Priest Lake is part of the Upper Priest Lake Scenic Area. There were five small parcels of private land totaling about 420 acres on Upper Priest Lake. The Forest Service purchased these tracts in 1967 with the assistance of Nature Conservancy. The entire shoreline of Upper Priest Lake is now in either the State of Idaho or Federal ownership, and is administered as a scenic area. Upper Priest River, which flows into Upper Priest Lake, is one of the rivers to be studied for inclusion in the Wild and Scenic Rivers system along with the lower Priest River which was famous in the early days as a log-drive stream. The first recorded drive was in 1901 and the last in 1949. The greatest drive took place in 1931 when 50,000 cedar poles and 125,000,000 board feet or logs were herded down the river by the "river pigs".

We did not stay overnight, but it's a beautiful spot, with 360 degree views. It's quiet and peaceful. The road up to the lookout is pretty rough and wouldn't recommend it in a car. There's a lovely hiking trail from the parking area as well which leads to even more spectacular views. Recommended for a day trip or overnight!
Traveler
Modern and beautiful campground. Close to all the wonders of Idaho's panhandle. They have several back in and pull through sites with more on the way. Choice of full hookups, or water and electric. Their showers are emaculant and luxurious. Wife refused to use ours. They have luxury cabins and covered wagon glamping. Very family and senior friendly. Reasonably priced, can't loose booking here.
Traveler
This quiet campground is a nice place to stay. Small and peaceful
We only stayed the one night on a Monday, so the restaurant and bar were closed. The sites are a little close together, but we are used to big private sites in the provincial campgrounds in Canada. The wifi was available, but only close to the restaurant.
Full hookups are available for most sites. There is a private beach that was nice for swimming. Staff is friendly and helpful.
TravelerI couldn’t book through Dyrt in app on the date. I called and booked with Munro on busy 4th weekend and got it done. A very nice stay on very loud 4th weekend of fireworks at Bonners Ferry(to be expected). Campsite with fire ring, wooded, picnic table was awesome. Bathhouse and facilities were very clean. Wood, icecream, laundry detergent, and more for sale at office/bathhouse. Definitely, stay again.
Traveler
Love JOJ, I have been coming here since I was 5 or so, beautiful location, fishing, camping; cabins, tents or RV. Swimming with floating dock, and playground area.
Scout
Johnie and his staff are over the top to accommodate. We stayed in the cabin and it was clean, warm, comfortable. Located central to sights in Idaho as well as Montana. We will be back next year. Guided fishing tours available as well as great food.
Traveler
Just. Book. You won't regret it. The campground is just far enough away to feel secluded but not too far that it's hard to get to. The views of Mirror Lake are just phenomenal. Clean campground with all the amenities. The dock is fantastic and the fishing is top notch. Electric hookups if you are a "glamper". Campsite A is the best but all sites are great.
Traveler
This was our first TT stay and it was not what we expected. There is no sewer at any of the sites which was not advertised on the site. No laundry available due to no sewer. There is a dump station on the KOA side of the park which is across the street. Just not convenient for someone who only has a 30 gallon Grey tank. We have to dump daily. They have propane available but when I asked I was told that there would not be anyone here approved to refill till Saturday, which is 3 days from today! Also, bring extension cords and extra hoses as all the hookups are at the front of the sites. You will need them.
TravelerWe spent 3 nights here last week with our family and everyone had a great time. The lake is small and warm. There is great fishing. The staff are all super sweet. There is plenty of shade. The spots are a bit close together unless you have a large group. It's only an hour away and we loved it.
Scout
Great staff and clean campground.
Legend
Pros: most sites are large and well appointed with paved driveways and gravel pad for picnic table, fire pit, and tents if you have them. Water and electricity at site. Plenty of trails to walk. Three dump and water stations. Cons: check in is way too late (2 pm), they require you to check in at visitor center, and the parking lot is not large enough to accommodate all the rvs checking in at 2 pm. Other con is no campsites on the water. The shoreline is very scenic but the camp and surroundings not so much. Just overstocked young forest. Also our electric post was damaged so cord kept coming unhooked. Had to bungee cord it.
Scout
I enjoyed staying in the screen house cabin and will definitely be back. Lots to do in the area if you like fishing, hiking, biking, horses, and much more. I had a great campfire and watched a mama bear and her cub on the hill beyond the cabin! Also saw deer in the driveway and the night sky was awesome with NO lights in any direction except the stats!
Great hosts and everything you need!
John
ScoutPeaceful, quiet, and beautiful! Right on the lakefront with your own private beach. There's a cute little restaurant with a bar and you can get to go drinks. Fire pits are communal but we didn't mind it all, so we went to buy wood at the store. They asked if we had a fire pit and we said no so they delivered us our own personal fire pit and wood to our campsite. So kind and friendly. Our kids loved playing on the beach and riding their bikes! Can't wait to come back!
GuideMy wife accidentally came across this private campground, which turned into a great stay. Located in northern Idaho and right on Spirit Lake, this campground has 31 RV sites that can accommodate various sizes of RVs. Every site has 20, 30& 50 amp electrical service however, only sites 1 through 21 have sewer. If you need a pull-through site, then go with #14 through#19, or#21.
The campground has a lakeside restaurant, boat slips for campers, and a small general store. The area was well maintained and clean. There are numerous mature cedar trees providing shade and privacy throughout the campground. My only complaint is that only 5 fire pits are located throughout the campground. This campground seems to be a local known quiet gem worth checking out for family fun.
LegendAshley here from The Dyrt! It was great to work with Rachel and get this campground added to our platform. Rachel and her family recently purchased this location, and are putting in so much work! Check them out and leave them some love.
LegendAshley here with The Dyrt. We'd like to welcome your host Lindsay to our platform. This unique stay comes with a hot shower and gorgeous views. Book your stay today and come back here to leave them some love.
GuideFell in love with thousand trails felt like old fashioned camping
RangerI rarely ever give bad ratings, but this was the worst camping experience I’ve ever had. Their check in process reminds me of the DMV—including rude staff. The park itself is massive and has lots to do. Each campground only has one main bathroom, so you’ll be wise to bring something to ride to get to the restrooms because some sites are 1/3 of a mile away.
TravelerWe live in Spokane and this is a nice quick weekend getaway for us. We have camped at Little Diamond numerous times. Friendly staff and good sized spots. Showers and bathrooms are clean.
Scout
A very nice small campground. About 2/3 of the sites are full hookups. Rest water and electric. Tent sites. Owners are great people. Very helpful for sure. They have a path you can walk down right to the Kootanie river with chairs and picnic tables to sit on. Very nice. Grounds are clean and tidy. Owners care a lot about their customers. Bathrooms are clean. Showers also clean. Would recommend staying here if your in the area.
Traveler
We camped here for a girls weekend and were really happy with our double site (35 a+b). We had a tent trailer, 2 tents, 4 cars, and 10 adults and had plenty of space in our site. Many spots are packed in tight, but this one has nice privacy and isn’t too far from the restroom or the lake. The 4 star review is mostly due to the location rather than anything with the campground or owners. It’s right on highway 12 and those giant military fighter jets fly through the canyon every once in awhile. But the staff is great, there’s a restaurant and coffee stand on site, and the campground was pretty clean. The lake is BEAUTIFUL - a bit windy but great to paddle around on when the wind is calm. You can grab wifi while standing at the motel, but there’s otherwise no cell service.
GuideWe have stayed at. Peaceful at night, nice pines surrounding sites, friendly and attentive staff, and a ton of activities. Pool, hot tub, nice lake for fishing and boating, laundry facilities that take cards, and everything else that KOAs offer.
GuideOwners were very accommodating and informative. Beautiful campground. Very clean and well kept.
Scout
We love it! Beautiful area the staff is always friendly and accommodating The cabins are rustic but clean We now bring our RV and really enjoy our stays here There a lake, a restaurant snd small store and lots of trails for hiking snd biking It's a great place stay Fall spring and Summer

All the state (not Federal) parks at both Priest and Lake Pend Oreille (Farragut) have become prohibitively expensive for out of staters. Per the Boise newspaper a state legislator from Hayden. ID was angered that he was unable to camp the state parks in his area at the drop of a hat 'due to the large number of out of state campers'(who had the foresight to make reservations months in advance). He was able to push a punitive bill through the State legislature which effectively more than doubled out of state camp fees in these two parks. Not only is the camp site at least twice as expensive but there is now a daily vehicle fee added. A basic campsite (no utilities) can now cost upwards of $70 per night.
ScoutWe stayed here on a cool and rainy weekend in May 2022. This is beautiful campground to get away from the city. It was very quiet and the staff spaced all guests well. Thank goodness they escorted us in because I’m not sure I could have found our site on my own (small signage if any and the roadways look like sites sometimes.). The bathrooms/showers were very nice and clean, big rooms with toilet, sink and shower (big enough to grab the kids and cycle through everyone quickly). The only complaint was the water had a metallic flavor to it (after RV filter and Brita filter) so I recommend bringing drinking water. I have camped here with a tent and an RV, GREAT camp for either.
ScoutWe enjoyed our time at this camp. Most sites are for RVs, but we got a tent site. Unfortunately, my two year old son didn’t settle for bed easily when camping. I ended up in hotels a couple nights, just because I didn’t want to bother the other campers. The time I did stay there was nice. The hosts are very helpful and kind as well.
