These lakes in Northern Idaho are massive, and Priest Lake is no exception. The Priest Lake State Park is a popular place in the summer. The lake is 300 ft deep and 19 miles long, and drop dead gorgeous. There are hundreds of places to explore from this area. One of the most popular ones is the Lionshead Natural Waterslide. Take a ride down a gently sloping, smooth granite surface. There is a catch line close to the bottom of the natural slide. Don't miss the catchline because the water drops below a massive rock at the bottom. Take something to slide on and enjoy one of Mother Nature's natural wonders. As always, leave no trace, leave it better than you found it, and enjoy 😉.

Gorgeous place! Clean camp spot and fire pit. Great parking, water right by our spot, and the lake is amazing! The only bad thing I can say is the toilets right by spot 126 were really stinky, I could hardly go in there for # 1, I had to hold my breath. The bathrooms by the day use beach, however, were amazing! Clean, smelling good, and more lit up inside.

Heaven on earth. As good as an exotic beach but closer to home and less expensive.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Love it here. I only wish the campsites weren't on top of each other.

Little disappointed this year as they were short-staffed up until the day I left.. supervisor did come around once or twice in a white Dodge ram but was very confrontational and unfriendly.. also no volleyball net in the bathrooms were worse than ever and I've been going there for 30 years.. hope it improves because you can't deny its beauty.

The Best. The Favorite. The Camping spot to visit. The water is always crystal clear over there. Plenty of sand there on the beach. As you drive to the lower spots closer to the beach those are the best camping grounds. I recommend staying closer to beach for mosquito reasons. The farther from beach into woods you go - the more mosquito problems you'll get. The weather over there is typically unpredictable. Seal and hide away your food, otherwise the bears will most likely pay you a visit. There's a specific spot on the beach for pets, so that's nice to know you won't be stepping in someone's poop. Will always come back here again.

A wonderful destination to disconnect. No cell service and views that are breath taking. A great place to go and get high, with mountains reaching over 7200ft!

Great place to visit, camp, group camp, a day at the beach, short hike, long hike, stay at a nearby resort like Hill's or Elkin's, or eat at a nearby restaurant or bar like Moose Knuckle, Ardy's, or Cavanaugh's.

This is the best campsite in the United States. Removed from most of the world's distractions this site sits on the the Northern tip of Priest Lake. The are plenty of things to do or you can just lay out on the beach with your favorite book and relax.
