Kalispell Island Campground

Kalispell Island Campground is a boat-in-only facility on the largest of seven islands in Priest Lake, offering 52 primitive campsites across 12 separate camping areas with picnic tables and fire rings.

Access requires launching from Kalispell Bay Boat Launch (31 miles north of Priest River on Highway 57), and the campground operates late May through October with vault toilets at most sites, no drinking water, and a pack-in/pack-out policy. The 2.

5-mile loop trail around the island provides excellent wildlife viewing and paddling access to Upper Priest Lake via a 3. 5-mile navigable thoroughfare.
