Natural Features: The campground is situated on the northwest shore of Priest Lake at an elevation of 2,500 feet, shaded by hemlock and cedar.

Recreation: A local beach is easily accessible for swimming and boating.

Beaver Creek has two trailheads, one for the 9-mile Navigation Trail that heads north, and one for the 8-mile Lakeshore Trail that heads south. Both trails offer sweeping mountain views and are enjoyed by both hikers and horseback riders. Facilities: Beaver Creek offers41spacious, reservable campsites and one large group site that can accommodate up to 35 guests. Amenities include drinking water, vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings. Nearby Attractions: Hiking, huckleberry picking, Selkirk Mountains views. Boat Launch: A Forest Service-operated boat launch is located south of the campground. It is a primitive, sandy launch designed for boats up to 20 feet long.
