Bartoo Island Boat-IN Campground

Bartoo Island Boat-in Campground offers a truly unique wilderness escape in the heart of Idaho's Rocky Mountains. Located directly on the pristine, clear waters of Priest Lake, this federal site provides a rugged and rewarding experience for those looking to disconnect from the mainland. Because the island is only accessible by boat, it offers a level of seclusion and natural beauty that is rarely found in traditional drive-in campgrounds.

The island features 24 single campsites and one spacious group site, known as the Sunrise Group Site, which can accommodate between 10 and 30 individuals. Each site is equipped with essential amenities, including fire rings and picnic tables, to make your stay comfortable while maintaining the island's rustic charm. Visitors can take advantage of the on-site boat ramp, easy fishing access, and various hiking trails that traverse the island's landscape.

This destination is perfectly suited for tent campers and groups who enjoy a more adventurous, self-sufficient outdoor experience. Whether you are planning a family trip or a group excursion, the peaceful shores of Priest Lake provide an unforgettable backdrop for your next boating and camping getaway.
