Plowboy Campground

Such a fun experience. A 3 mile hike in (my first time EVER backpacking), took about an hour and a half to get there with the ups and downs of the trail. You can certainly do it as an inexperienced backpacker, just be prepared for a few small inclines there and back. Gorgeous scenery, and the lake is so serene. It wasn't too busy on Memorial weekend but busier than I expected. Lake was cold but I got in twice! Bear country so bring your bear spray and/or other protection AND LOTS OF BUG SPRAY! You can have your dog off leash in most areas just be sure they don't stray far as other people most likely are in the area. Plenty of spaces to camp, and trails lead further north to more hiking and camping!

Any time you can get to Upper Priest is good. Staying at one of the hike, bike, or boat in campsitesbis even better. This one is the easiest to get to, but still fantastic if there is space available.

A wonderful campground paddled our kayaks there, had bear box food storage, outhouse and a fire pit, will definitely go again

Plenty of mosquitos but a beautiful campsite right on the lake. We were here all by ourselves for the night. Nice easy hike in. Sites all have bear boxes and you will need them we encounterd a bear about halfway down the trail.

Great free hike/boat in campground, bring your own firewood, the forest has been picked clean.
