Reeder Bay Campground is situated on the western shore of Priest Lake at the foot of the Selkirk Mountains, surrounded by cedar, fir, and hemlock. The camp features paved roads and parking spurs, a beach sloping into the lake, pressurized water hydrants, and flush toilets. Water activities include canoeing, wakeboarding, and fishing for Dolly Varden, cutthroat trout, and kokanee salmon on the 19-mile-long lake and nearby Priest River. The 8-mile Lakeshore Trail runs right past the campground, and the Upper Priest Lake Trail connects to neighboring wilderness areas.
