About this campground
Overview Payment of fees is encouraged by credit card or check; no cash please. Season passes are also available by calling 208-769-5000. This popular fishing access site on the east end of Coeur d'Alene Lake has a concrete launching ramp, docks and asphalt surfaced parking area. A daily fee of $12 applies, or an annual pass can be purchased for $80. Each winter from November through February, a migrating population of over 200 bald eagles visits the area to feed on spawning kokanee salmon. BLM staff lead an interpretive viewing program during peak migration, usually mid to late December.
