About
Geisinger Campground sits at the southeastern entrance to Upper Priest Lake within the Upper Priest Lake Scenic Area of the Idaho Panhandle National Forests. The campground's three sites are positioned at the confluence with the Thorofare, offering a secluded backcountry experience accessible only by boat or by hiking in via Upper Priest Lake Trail #302. Each site is equipped with a fire ring, picnic table, and bear-proof storage box. A vault toilet serves the campground, but no potable water is available. Campers must bring their own drinking water and pack out all garbage under the strict Pack It In, Pack It Out policy. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis from May through September at $15 per night. Pets are welcome on a leash no longer than 6 feet. Quiet hours are enforced from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., and a 14-day camping limit applies with a maximum of 8 people per site.
