Very nice campground, very hard to get a reservation and when we got there over half the sites weren't even filled!!! I hope those no shows had to pay like they were there!!! Plenty of spots with hookups and plenty without! Nice paved roads and lots of walking paths. If you plan to spend the day on the beach there good luck fighting the Russians who plant tents all down the beach and grab all the picnic tables to claim their spots for their entire stay! Not sure why this is allowed. Water is clear and the scenery is gorgeous! Nice shop with premium gas avaiyas well as hand dipped ice cream! We go every year as we love the lake!!!

Our annual camping pilgrimage to Priest Lake was a great success. Our Idahome Family had a blast at Indian Creek Campground. The facilities are well maintained and 99% of the staff were very helpful and accommodating to some of our disabled Vietnam Veterans. Looking forward to next year!

After hearing nothing but good things from the local folk, we decided to take a couple of days and went up to fish and explore Priest Lake. This place is an absolute gem! The water is so clean and clear, and the perfect temperature for a swim in the heat of the afternoon. We even had luck with a few trout and smallmoth bass off the dock. The photo opportunities are limitless and if you have a boat I definitely suggest you bring it! My only issue was the number of people (the campground was nearly full) but everyone was respectful and friendly. We will be going again!

Absolutely beautiful! The Hawaii-like sand on the beach was a pleasant surprise. Plenty of breathtaking views of the lake & mountains regardless of where you are located. Vast quantities of hiking trails for all ages. Very family friendly. Phone & Internet service is intermittent.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jessica Treantenou · May 2024

The Check-in staff was above and beyond friendly and helpful! It was such a relief compared to awful attitudes and treatment we received at the last state park we stayed at (Farragut). The people here are absolutely amazing and kind. They seem genuinely happy to have you there. The park itself was beautiful, clean, and well taken care of. The rangers were very friendly too. If I could give ten stars I would!
