Where to Stay/ Ride in Priest Lake, ID

[700RMKClimb]

There is a small group of us that will be heading over that way late Feb. I would like any info about places to ride and stay. We are all experienced riders and love boondocking/ hill climbing.

Thanks in advance!

Here is a good website with lodging and riding information: http://www.priestlake.org/index.html

CAVANAUGH BAY RESORT is a good place on the east side they have small rooms and a couple cabins that they rent.

Hills or Elkins on the west side are both good.

Our group are heading up that way at the end of the month. We booked a house thru priestlake vacations.
Cavanaugh Bay resort is a good place to stay considering that they have almost everything there for a snowmobiler. Would of stayed there, but some of the wifes, and girlfriends didn't want to sleep in the bunkhouse with the men.

when we make trips up to the lake, we will normally stay in nordman at grandview resort. they've got pumps for gas at the resort. ride from the hotel up the highway and get up into the hills. if you can get up to upper priest lake on a clear day, it is truly beautiful.

i'm not sure if there's any where to stay in coolin on the south end of the lake, but from there you can get into some pretty good bowls to climb. echo bowl is the main one i think.

are there any snow parks that allow camping in that area

i am not sure. i bet you could just camp at one of the resorts on the lake. a lot of the people that live in houses up by the lake have a ton of property. you might just be able to ask a land owner if you could set up camp on their land temporarily.

Not sure what the name of the place is, but there is/was a hotel right in coolin that has RV hookups and is usually empty in the winter. Buddy of mine had his trailer up there all winter a couple years back.
