RV parks and campgrounds here range from lakefront properties to forested retreats, many within striking distance of the Selkirk Mountains and Upper Priest Lake Scenic Area. Anglers chase Mackinaw and Cutthroat trout, while hikers explore the Lakeshore Trail and Beach Trail. At 2,375 feet elevation, summers stay cool and crisp, making this a natural escape from heat.
Priest Lake draws campers seeking quiet alpine surroundings and genuine recreation. The lake itself spans 19 miles long and plunges over 300 feet deep, creating a serious playground for boaters and anglers. Kalispell Island Boat-IN Campground stands apart as a remote, water-accessible destination on the lake's largest island, with 52 campsites spread across 264 acres. Campers reach it by water, trading road access for total isolation and forest immersion.
Well-established properties anchor the region. Three Pines Campground, Dickensheet Campground, Silver Campground, Rocky Point Campground, and North Cove Campground all operate in the Priest Lake area, offering both private and government-managed options. These parks serve as basecamps for serious fishing trips targeting Mackinaw, Dolly Varden, and Cutthroat trout. The Kalispell Bay Boat Launch provides easy water access, while the Lakeshore Trail and Beach Trail satisfy hikers and walkers exploring the shoreline.
January temperatures drop to 30 degrees Fahrenheit, while July peaks around 65 degrees. Annual precipitation averages 24.5 inches, supporting dense forest that shields campsites and creates a genuine wilderness feel. Upper Priest Lake Scenic Area lies nearby, connected to the main lake by a 2.5-mile thoroughfare. Glacier National Park sits 144 miles south for travelers considering a longer regional loop.
