Campground Spotlight - Beauty Creek



Beauty Creek Campground is located a half mile from Lake Coeur d’Alene and is nestled in a narrow valley along Beauty Creek in Northern Idaho. At an elevation of 2,100 feet, the campground is surrounded by heavily wooded hillsides in the Idaho Panhandle National Forests between the Cascade Mountains to the west and the Bitterroot Mountains to the east.


The trailhead for the Caribou Ridge National Recreation Trail starts at the campground and is a 5 mile trail featuring a moderate climb with two outstanding overlooks of Lake Coeur d’Alene. Also nearby is the Mineral Ridge trailhead and hiking trail. If you’re an angler, you can enjoy fishing for northern pike, chinook salmon, kokanee and bass in nearby Coeur d’Alene Lake.


Beauty Creek Campground offers 20 spacious campsites for both tent and RV camping. The campground also offers a day use pavilion that can be reserved to hold family get togethers or picnics with your friends. Amenities include vault toilets and drinking water from a hand pump. The nearest boat ramp is at Mineral Ridge Boat Ramp which is approximately 2.5 miles from the campground. Here, visitors have easy access to boating and fishing.
