Sitting along the shore of Mica Bay on Lake Coeur d'Alene, this Idaho Department of Fish and Game site has a key access note worth knowing before you go: despite being listed with drive-in access, at least one reviewer confirms the campground does not allow vehicles on-site. Campers arrive by boat, on foot, or by parking roadside and walking in. Sites are flat, and the bay gives anglers and swimmers a direct water entry point. Bald eagles and osprey are commonly spotted overhead. Amenities include toilets, picnic tables, firewood, and cell service. Those planning a longer stay in the region can browse places to camp around Coeur d'Alene for additional options with drive-in access.
