Camping at Reeder Bay

Public campground · 24 campsites

A forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Reeder Bay Campground sits on the eastern shore of Priest Lake beneath the crest of the Selkirk Mountains, where cedar, fir and hemlock shade a compact campground that fronts one of the lake's long, gently sloping beaches. The lake itself stretches about 19 miles and plunges to roughly 300 feet in places; its clear water is fed by streams from the high peaks.

How far ahead to book Reeder Bay

For July weekends, book about 182 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 162 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Arrival monthFri/Sat arrivals: half booked at leastA quarter at leastOther days: half booked at leastA quarter at least

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (5,077 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
