Popular Priest Lake campground closed
May 7, 2011
The popular Outlet Campground on Priest Lake is closed for the season as the U.S. Forest Service works to make renovations.

"Renovations will give the entire campground a facelift and will include new restrooms, water and sewer lines, pavement, extended camping spurts, picnic tables and fire rings," said Priest Lake District Ranger Glen Klinger. "I think when people pitch their tents at Outlet Campground in 2012, they will agree that the renovations were worth the wait."

While Outlet Campground will be closed, there are alternatives. The Lower Luby and Reeder Bay Campgrounds open May 13, and the Upper Luby, Osprey and Beaver Creek Campgrounds open May 27.
