Bell Bay Campground

Bell Bay Campground offers a stunning escape into the heart of Idaho's Rocky Mountains. Perched directly on the shores of Coeur d'Alene Lake, this USFS-managed site features two distinct loops: an upper section with elevated lake vistas and a lower loop situated along the immediate shoreline. The natural terrain provides a perfect backdrop for those looking to immerse themselves in the serene beauty of the region at an elevation of 2,504 feet.

Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to do, from trekking the mile-long Bell Bay Trail to spending the day on the water. The beach area is ideal for swimming, power boating, and canoeing, while anglers can test their luck catching trout, salmon, and panfish. On-site facilities are rustic, providing vault toilets and fire rings for a traditional camping experience.

This campground is best suited for campers seeking a rugged, back-to-basics adventure in a picturesque setting. Whether you are arriving with a group or planning a quiet getaway, the site provides a versatile base for exploring the lake. Please note that this is a primitive federal campground with no hookups, making it an excellent choice for self-sufficient tent campers and RV travelers who enjoy dry camping.
