Beauty Creek Campground

22 minutes from Coeur D'Alene, 2 minutes from Mineral Ridge trailhead, 15 minutes to Blue Creek Bay public fishing/day use dock. Only 19 sites, first 7 are open in a field. The pit toilets are the cleanest we've ever seen. Only potable water is from a hand pump - which is a fun, unique experience, if you have two people to fill up water bottles. Unfortunately the logging trucks are loud, and you can hear road noise. We stayed in the last site, #19, which was more secluded. A few yellow jackets and mosquitos, but not too bad. We parked in a gravel lot on side of 97 near Wolf Bay, and then paddle boarded under 97 into Wolf bay and explored between the cat-tails. There is no public access to Beauty Bay, which is disappointing. Mineral ridge was a steady climb with a spectacular view. 5 people fishing at Blue Creek Bay, off of California trail, when we paddle boarded in the evening. Person fishing at Wolf Lodge Bay Point https://maps.app.goo.gl/RdqCxwyeFmw3GU6U6 caught 5.

Site accommodated my 35' 5th wheel and truck. Getting into the site was a bit of a challenge with the very arrow access road and driveway. Lots of low hanging tree limbs over the access road. Site had plenty of privacy and very spacious. There is 1 central spigot a couple sites down, and it is a hand pump and very stiff pumping. Good workout filling a 6 gallon jug!

Beautiful campground, with well marked sites which have foliage around to help with privacy. Camp Host was very nice and helpful. Coeur d’Alene lake is a rocks throw from the campground but there’s no public access from the campground and the road around the lake is not really bike safe.
Sites are paved but there’s road to the campground is dirt and had a couple potholes.

Away from lake access, nice camp spot, truckers using “Jake brakes” echoing in valley.

Nice campground, not too far from Couer D'Alene

We had a very troubling experience here although the camp site itself was nice.

This is one of our favorite places to stay. The host was great, very helpful. The vault toilet was clean and supplied. The site itself was as good as it gets; large, private, and enough shade. We had 2 guests join us; ground squirrels with homes in the site.

Conveniently close to Coeur D'Alene, nice big sites.

great place. quiet

Note that site 10 has no parking and no shade. The creek is also dry in the summer and not as advertised.
