SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Kayaking and swimming enthusiasts will find direct river access at this dispersed camping area along Priest Lake's waterway. The sites sit right on the riverbed, accessible through a nearby boat launching ramp or via several off-road paths that branch into the surrounding terrain.

RVs up to 25 feet can navigate the access routes to reach these secluded spots. Campers can explore both drive-in and walk-in options depending on their preferred level of seclusion. The area connects to hiking trails and provides a launching point for Dickensheet Unit and other developed campgrounds in the region. Multiple camping spots spread throughout the area give groups flexibility in choosing their setup.

Good spot close to river

Was a bit challenging to find at first but once we found the right turn off it was simple. It was a bit loud because of the highway but if you follow the path down, there is more spots away from the road. Plenty of space in between sites if you want to be more secluded. The first site has 3 closer together for bigger groups.

Priest Lake Dispersed Camping

Very nice and secluded area right on the river bed. Can be accessed through the boat launching ramp that’s a bit ahead on the road. There are also several different off road paths that lead the some great camping spots in the area.
