Looking for a quiet place to rest and recharge? We have the perfect spot for you! This property fronts Kelso Lake, which is a motorboat free 55 acre lake located half way between Coeur d’Alene and Sandpoint, just a 15 minute drive to Silverwood Theme Park. This is the ideal spot to spend time kayaking, catching up around the campfire, fishing, and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. If you keep your eyes peeled you may see blue heron’s, bald eagles, and if your quiet the beaver may swim past and say hello! This property is a half acre at the edge of the Kelso Lake community. This property is ideally located less than a 20 min drive to Farragut State Park, Lake Pend Oreille, Bayview, and Silverwood Theme Park. If you are trailer camping you will have to back in from the public roadway up an incline to access the spot. If you aren't comfortable backing your trailer in this spot might not be for you. We also welcome tent and van campers! There is a fire ring, a picnic table, tiki bar, decks, chairs, and an outhouse. There is a trail down to the dock where you can launch kayaks, paddle boards or canoes. New this season, 4 kayaks included with your stay!! The property is situated on the end of the lake with lily pads and beaver dens…. its beautiful but not the best swimming spot! If you want to take a dip in the lake the public boat launch is less than a half mile down the road! If you have an electric boat motor you are more than welcome to use it but no motor boats are allowed on this lake.

This is place is so quaint. It’s clean and quiet and just a very lovely experience. The kayaks are in great condition and you have your options of sit on top or sit in. Directions to get there and how to use everything are very easy and direct. The lake is beautiful and wasn’t too busy while we were there. The host is very communicative . I would highly suggest this beautiful camp spot, we will definitely be back.

Beavers, oh my!

What a sweet setup! The site is very tidy and clean! Lights, toilet, tiki bar….we barely had to unpack anything from our van! We even saw a beaver during our stay! ❤️🦫 Loved the location and convenience off the main highway on our way from Whitefish to Seattle! Would gladly stay again and will definitely refer to other people!

We pulled into the site and were blown away. Very cute setup. Loved the tiki bar! Lots of space. Enjoyed coffee on the lower deck in the mornings as we watched wildlife. Kayaked the lake in the afternoon. Can't recommend enough!
