About
Bell Bay Campground is situated on the southeast shores of Coeur d'Alene Lake in the Idaho Panhandle National Forests, just north of Harrison, Idaho. The campground is divided into two loops: an upper loop on a hill with panoramic lake views, and a lower loop positioned along the shoreline. A forest of Ponderosa and mixed pines surrounds the sites. The campground offers 16 reservable single-family sites and a large group site on the upper loop that accommodates up to 75 guests. Six sites are reservable through Recreation.gov while others are first-come, first-served. Amenities include drinking water, vault toilets, and campfire rings. The lower loop features two boat docks maintained by Kootenai County for day-use mooring. Recreation opportunities abound with the mile-long Bell Bay Trail winding around the lakeshore. The 50-square-mile lake provides excellent fishing for trout, salmon, and panfish, along with swimming, power boating, and canoeing. The town of Coeur d'Alene is about an hour away, offering additional services and activities.
