Bell Bay Campground

With its prime location along the southeastern shores of Coeur d'Alene Lake, Bell Bay Campground sets itself apart with its dual-loop design offering both panoramic hillside views and serene lakefront access. This forested retreat, surrounded by towering Ponderosa pines, provides a tranquil haven ideal for a mix of outdoor activities, including hiking, fishing, and boating.

The campground features two distinct loops: an upper area tailored for group gatherings and a lower loop close to the lake that includes access to two docks, although the path is steep. Amenities include vault toilets, drinking water, picnic tables, fire rings, and a scenic one-mile trail leading through the lush surroundings. Campers can enjoy everything from birdwatching to swimming in the sparkling waters of Coeur d'Alene Lake, renowned for its clarity and abundant fish species such as trout and salmon.

Located just six miles north of Harrison, Idaho, Bell Bay provides a quieter alternative to bustling lake destinations. Harrison's historic charm and proximity to outdoor adventures like kayaking on Thompson Lake or cycling along local rail-to-trail paths make it an excellent hub for short excursions. Whether planning a day trip or an extended vacation, Bell Bay Campground delivers a quintessential North Idaho wilderness experience.
