Bartoo Island Campground

Bartoo Island Campground is a boat-in only campsite on Priest Lake with 25 primitive sites (24 single sites plus one group site for 10-30 people) accessible only by water from nearby boat launches like Kalispell Bay.

Campers must bring their own portable toilets and water, practice pack-it-in/pack-it-out principles, and be bear-aware, but enjoy large private lakefront sites with picnic tables and fire rings ideal for paddling and fishing expeditions.

The island's remote location and minimal facilities create a rugged but rewarding experience with excellent privacy and access to boating, swimming, and wildlife viewing opportunities.
