Bell Bay Campground

Bell Bay Campground, located on the east shore of Lake Coeur d'Alene, is 35 miles from Coeur d'Alene. Bell Bay Campground consists of 2 campground loops (upper and lower loops) with 26 campsites and 4 boat campsites (the nearest boat ramp is in Harrison), a host site, a day use area and a group camping area. A hiking trail connects the loops.
