Coeur D'Alene Campground

3 ReviewsAdd Review

Accessible via walk-in access from the parking area, this US Forest Service campground operates year-round within Chugach National Forest. The site provides vault toilets, picnic tables, and bear-proof food storage containers at each of the walk-in tent sites. Campers report that bugs concentrate near the adjacent stream but decrease further into the wooded areas.

The campground sits at elevation, creating cooler nighttime temperatures even during summer months. A small stream flows past the sites, and reviewers note the sound of running water. For those seeking additional options in the region, campgrounds around Hope provide alternatives within the same forest system. Pack out all trash as no collection services operate here.

The deep you go the less bugs

This may have the nicest wood panels ever stuck to a plastic port a potty. The bugs are pretty heavy right next to the river but deep in the woods are are very few. Great place for exploring. Walk in campsites are very close and have bear proof food storage.

Nice, quiet little campground

Nice little campground with small amt of campsites, not really suitable for large groups or RVs so it's nice and quiet. It's walk in, but not far from the car. The vault toilets have been clean every time we've come up. The campsite is at quite an elevation so is chilly at night and early morning even in the summer. There's a little stream that flows by the campground, which is nice to fall asleep to. Gorgeous trails to hike back here too.
