Bumblebee Campground
October 2026
About
Overview
Bumblebee Campground is located in a beautiful meadow with no standing trees, near the Little North Fork Coeur D'Alene River. It makes a perfect fishing and seasonal hunting base camp. Swimming and floating the river are popular activities as well.
Recreation
Bumblebee's creekside location creates easy access for floating, swimming and wading. Trout fishing is available about a half-mile from the campground in the Little North Fork of Coeur d'Alene River. Rainbow and cutthroat trout are the most common catches.
About 15 miles from the campground is the 803 Motorized Trail System, which provides dedicated off-road trails and open roads in the Steamboat Creek area.
Facilities
Bumblebee is comprised of two loops, each with vault toilets. One hand-pump for drinking water is available at the group site (both single-site campers and group campers share this spigot). Roads are paved and campsite parking spurs are sealed gravel.
Several single-family campsites are available. A group site can accommodate up to 100 people.
Natural Features
The campground sits next to Bumblebee Creek near the Little North Fork Coeur D'Alene River at an elevation of 2,200 feet.
Coeur d'Alene National Forest spans 726,819 acres and is one of three forests comprising the Idaho Panhandle National Forests. The majority of Idaho's waters are located in this northern region.
Nearby Attractions
The town of Coeur d'Alene is a delightful place to explore. Visitors can go paddle boating or parasailing on Lake Coeur d'Alene, or even take a trip around the lake on a seaplane. A variety of shops and restaurants are available.

Is BUMBLEBEE CAMPGROUND fully booked?
A campground showing no availability is almost never full for good. People cancel — plans change, weather turns, someone books three weekends and keeps one — and the site goes straight back into the booking system, usually without warning and often at odd hours. The reason sold-out campgrounds feel impossible is not that sites never free up; it is that nobody is watching at the moment they do.
CampHawk watches BUMBLEBEE CAMPGROUND in ID for you. We recheck it every 15 seconds, around the clock, and the moment a site opens we send a text, an email and a push notification — and on Recreation.gov we can put the site straight into your cart, so it is held while you get to your phone.
Searching is free and needs no account — the calendar above is live right now. Watching BUMBLEBEE CAMPGROUND for cancellations is the paid part.
