The campground was amazing! Camp hosts did an amazing job keeping restroom stocked, clean and everything was just perfect!

Friendly hosts.Very clean and well maintained.I love to camp to unplug, but it is nice that WiFi is accessible. Especially when camping with my grandkids.
@NishelleG61A5B · Camped on Jul 8, 2025 at Campsite #20
Clean restrooms with actual flushing toilets, ample water sources, lots of free firewood around the campsites if you have the means to source it. Even though sites are on a hill, there are flat tent spots. Near the water and bike trails.

Quiet and nice!
@ElizabethH3073 · Camped on Jun 13, 2025 at Campsite #18
Bathrooms were clean. Each campsite was clearly marked. All the campsites were sloped which made it really difficult to set up a tent. Firewood was overpriced. The swim spot was tiny. Probably would not go here again.

Not a sole around. Had all to our selves.
@LeisaMD8B9F747 · Camped on Aug 16, 2024 at Campsite #24
Had a great stay. Site was spacious and a decent distance from other sites. Near restrooms where door slammed loudly when used. Access to the lake was hard to find from our site at first. Other campers were very helpful. Trails are well marked.

We had a double spot (#6) and it was perfect for our 32ft 5th wheel and our friend's Rpod plus our two large trucks. Nice flush toilet bathrooms.
@JudithC6460270 · Camped on Aug 2, 2023 at Campsite #17
Very clean campsites and bathrooms. Good cell reception. Small beach area.
@ChristieZF79B6 · Camped on Jul 16, 2023 at Campsite #24
Campsites have decent space between spots and bathrooms were clean. My spot had a lot of roots sticking out of the ground but overall a good campground.
@ErinND107F60A8 · Camped on Jul 13, 2023 at Campsite #4
Nice quiet spot and close to amenities, just wasn’t the best spot for a tent.

Our camp host was horrible.
1. bathrooms were never cleaned the whole 5 days we were there.
2. we had to buy our own toilet paper and we shared with the other campers.
3. all the bear boxes for trash were full. We had to take our trash to the gas station to protect our family from bears.
4. when we went to ask for help from the camp host , he did not answer.
5. Osprey Camp host came and help us one day, gave us Toilet paper and empty the bear boxes.
6. We felt very unsafe , we paid to stay for 5 days , with two campsites. we deserved clean bathrooms and safe place to camp with our families.
7. Our fire pit was so full of ashes we did not feel safe starting a fire. We asked for help , he did not respond to us.
8. I left 2 voice mails while we were there asking for help, no return call and I have left two more messages since we have been home , still no return call. We love priest lake , but this has really upset us. Especially how unsafe we felt.

Outlet is a great place to camp. The spots are pretty good size, and the facilities are well maintained. The swimming spot is also very nice as it is pretty shallow for quite a long way, so it is safe for kids to play. Overall, we had a great time. Only complaint would be one group of people being very loud after quiet hours.
@RichardB341941 · Camped on Jun 25, 2023 at Campsite #3
Very nice campground.
@JAMESS8693241 · Camped on Jun 22, 2023 at Campsite #6
We have stayed several times in the past. This was our first trip this year and we’re disappointed. We miss the host from last year- bathrooms were always clean and rules enforced. This was our first trip this year and the bathrooms had not been cleaned for a few days (by looks it was in need and sign in door showed no record of cleaning in 3 days). Trash cans so full you could not put a single item in them. No one enforced the rules and it was obvious. Very loud group yelling and playing music so the whole campground could hear till midnight! Was awesome last year so gave 3 stars but this year would be rated lower.
@PamS5221697 · Camped on Jun 22, 2023 at Campsite #10
Our first time at Outlet and we may not go back. The camp host was pretty much “absent”. Garbage by the bathrooms overflowed most of our 5 nights there. It was appalling to see. Never saw the host check bathrooms, they marked it off as being checked though. A guest left their campfire smolder after checking out and the host never stopped by to check on it so we doused it with water. Such a contrast to what we see at Osprey with Jim the camp host. He is very visible and garbage never flows out of the “bear proof “ garbage cans.
@jonic8071866 · Camped on Sep 18, 2022 at Campsite #13
our host was very good. kept the bathrooms very clean. only regret was that there is not much sun for my solar panels. Lake is sooooo clear.
@LarryJ3814213 · Camped on Sep 18, 2022 at Campsite #2
Nice campground with flush toilets and running water in the sinks and light and fans in the bathrooms. John the camp host made us feel welcome and was nice to visit with.
@TimothyN310035 · Camped on Aug 11, 2022 at Campsite #13
Nice little campground. Heavily treed so you felt like there weren’t many others there even though it was full. Not much of a beach at all but a decent swimming area. We were at a site by the beach which would be nice except people would just wander through — wish they had trails around campsites more clearly marked. They also closed down the restrooms for like half a day, didn’t seem to have much concern for what tent campers should or would do. Could be managed better.
@OliviaD4319211 · Camped on Aug 10, 2022 at Campsite #17
Beautiful spot with a great view of the lake and ability to scamper down the path for a swim at campsite 17, Loop C!
@LoriF7925749 · Camped on Aug 7, 2022 at Campsite #2
This is a wonderful campground and the host was very friendly and hard working. The difficulty I had was when I had questions about the size of the camp sites. Nobody at the Forest Service office ever answers the phone. After calling numerous times, I finally gave up and called the Priest Lake Chamber of Commerce. The lady there was amazing!! She actually volunteered to drive up to the campground the next day, give the host some pamphlets and let me know about the size of my site. Amazing! A Forest Service contractor in a far away state was useless in helping me with this information, too. As an ex-park ranger (for a different federal agency) I am completely disappointed with the lack of public interaction by the Forest Service. Customer Service is dead.
@DianeW5694247 · Camped on Aug 3, 2022 at Campsite #10
It was the 3rd time we spent time at Outlet Bay this year. The camp host there is very sweet and helpful. Bathrooms have flush toilets and soap at the sink.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
