Camping at Bell Bay Campground near Harrison

Public campground · Harrison · 15 campsites · 1 group

A forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Recreation at Bell Bay is very much water- and shoreline-focused: Coeur d'Alene Lake covers roughly 50 square miles and supports fishing for trout, salmon and panfish, as well as swimming, canoeing and powerboating right from the campground. A one-mile Bell Bay Trail follows the lakeshore and is popular for short hikes and wildlife viewing; beyond the immediate campground the Idaho Panhandle National Forests offer additional opportunities for biking, auto touring, horseback riding, OHV use, hunting and longer hiking routes.

How far ahead to book Bell Bay Campground

For July weekends, book about 153 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 93 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Arrival monthFri/Sat arrivals: half booked at leastA quarter at leastOther days: half booked at leastA quarter at least

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (3,487 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
