Camping at Bumblebee Campground

Public campground · 12 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

Bumblebee Campground sits at about 2,200 feet beside Bumblebee Creek and a short walk from the Little North Fork Coeur d'Alene River, placing you in a meadowed, creekside setting well suited to anglers and folks who want easy river access. The site is reached from Interstate 90 via the Kingston exit and a short drive on Forest Road 9 and the Bumblebee cutoff to Forest Road 796; once there the campground splits into two loops (single sites are on the right-hand loop, the group loop on the left).

“Great site, I did not know there would be zero cell service. Need it for All trails hiking, emergency, etc. cooking grate was broken. ”

Michael R 3 · Sep 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Nice and remote campground, bathrooms were very clean, water was far away, but spots were very nice and clean. ”

Zach R 5 · Aug 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Very overgrown. The whole campground needs a clean up after what looks like storm damage. Though it’s named Bumblebee, way too many yellow jackets - hang some traps. ”

How far ahead to book Bumblebee Campground

For May weekends, book about 122 days ahead. Three in four May Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 62 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

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

July58 days ahead122 days ahead34 days ahead88 days ahead
August33 days ahead80 days ahead27 days ahead75 days ahead
September24 days ahead76 days ahead25 days ahead46 days ahead

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 (1,670 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.
