Summary
Reservations are required for group sites; fees apply. Amenities include pit toilets, fire rings, picnic tables, and lake access—however, there’s no drinking water or hookups, and RV access is limited to nearby mainland sites. Set on a forested, lakeside island, the vibe is rustic and serene, ideal for paddlers and groups. Nearby attractions include Priest Lake and Upper Priest Lake trails. Summer (June–September) is the best time to visit. Access to Kalispell Island is by boat only, enhancing its secluded, natural appeal.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
