Best Time to Camp at Bartoo Island Boat-In Campground
Summer transforms Bartoo Island into a sun-drenched paradise, with warm temperatures perfect for diving into Priest Lake's refreshing waters or lounging on secluded beaches. As autumn arrives, the surrounding forests burst into color while crisp mornings give way to comfortable afternoons. Winter brings a blanket of moderate snow and freezing temperatures, creating a peaceful frozen landscape occasionally blessed with perfectly calm, windless days.
Summer described as sun‑drenched; swimming, boating and group activities peak in season.
Open as first‑come starting Sept 15; fewer services and mixed reviews for shoulder season.
Season opens late May; early spring limited access and services before peak season.
Campground closed outside May 29–Oct 31; island sites not available for winter camping.
