Bell Bay Campground

Erika Kalman

We planned to spend three nights here but the smoke from Oregon suddenly appeared and we left after one night. We were so sorry not to be able to say good buy to our fantastic hosts Keith and Caroline. They were so helpful and fun. They went out of their way to accommodate us. I hope somehow they see this review and understand why we disappeared. We are Erika and Andy Kalman from Ann Arbor Michigan. The campground has access to the lake and although the water was cold it refreshed us on the hot day. The upper loop had been closed and the lower loop had only a few sites so we were lucky to get the last spot when arrived around 2 pm. This campground was recommended to us by our daughter who stayed here in June with her family.

Very remote campground, which seems pretty rare for busy Lake Couer d'Alene. Takes about an hour to get to from town (on a very narrow and winding road). Furthermore, the campground itself is pretty far off the main road once you get there. A few sites are on a short trail off the camp loop, which can be a bit inconvenient for tenters storing supplies in a vehicle. Many of the sites have pretty spectacular views of the lake. The staff is very friendly. The public access area has a great dock for swimming.

This was an amazingly beautiful campgrounds. It had a view from lot 15 that would take my breathe away both day and night. The host on the other hands was not particularly the best. We had a reserved lot and asked to switch to a walk up 16 lots and on us and one other couple there. Open lots all over. She charged us double and made us cancel our reservation to go in town to get cash to pay for the walk up. Then proceeded to go to the couple (the only other people there) and talked about us to them. She complained about switch and how it upsets her. Then her son (18 year old) talked about us as well. It was worth the extra money to stay there but upsetting since no one was there for three days besides us and the other couple. We would return but hope they get a new host who cleans and takes care of the place.

When every other campground in the Idaho panhandle was completely booked, Bell Bay came through with great available lakeside camp sites. A little off the beaten path but nothing too remote. The host was extremely friendly and helpful. Facilities were pretty standard. The view was amazing!
