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. 4 kayaks are 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.

Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
Beaver Bay offers a picturesque setting with plenty of space for campers to enjoy. The campsite is praised for its well-thought-out layout, including amenities like fire pits and kayaks. However, some travelers mention limited privacy due to its proximity to the road, which brings some noise from passing trucks and trains. Despite these minor drawbacks, campers generally appreciate the peaceful atmosphere and the opportunity to connect with nature.

A beautiful well laid out place. Plenty of space. The traffic can get a bit busy.

This was our second time staying at Beaver Bay, and the second time was even better than the first! I'm sure we'll be coming back for our next Silverwood trip.
