**[United States](http://ssr-app-zpimxgrglq-uc.a.run.app/listings/campgrounds/in/united-states) › [Idaho](http://ssr-app-zpimxgrglq-uc.a.run.app/listings/campgrounds/in/united-states/idaho) › [Athol](http://ssr-app-zpimxgrglq-uc.a.run.app/listings/campgrounds/in/united-states/idaho/athol)**

Tucked away in the mossy rocks, The Hidden Frog offers a half acre of private, forested camping on the banks of Kelso Lake\. The 60 acre lake allows non\-motorized watercraft only, which makes for a peaceful, relaxing stay\. The parking area has room for a vehicle and trailer up to 60ft long combined, plus another area for a single vehicle\. It is adjacent to a shared driveway, so you must leave room for vehicles to get around you\. You can choose to set up camp there, or down a short path to the lake where there is ample flat ground for multiple tents\. The path is cleared but rocky, so always make sure to watch your step\! A fire ring, shovel, bucket of water, emergency fire extinguisher, 2 chairs and one 13gal garbage bag are provided for your use\. I live next door, so I'm around if there is anything you need \(don't be afraid to ask\!\) There are no other amenities right now, but we plan on adding some as we start to make some money \(i\.e\. an outhouse, electrical\.\) The shoreline is very bushy and rocky\- not ideal for fishing, boating or swimming, but there is a free public boat launch site \.4mi down the road, plus another at Granite lake \.7mi away\. Both offer a toilet, and a place for swimming and fishing \(must have a fishing licence\.\) Please respect the boundaries and do not cross into neighbors' yards\. Also, do not disturb the mosses growing on the rocks \(it is a fragile ecosystem\!\) and respect the wildlife that make the space their home\. Wildlife you may encounter includes deer, moose, beaver, otters, chipmunks, squirrels, frogs, salamanders, eagles, osprey, blue herons, ducks, and many other bird species\- we are located on the Idaho Birding Trail\. NEW: RETURN CAMPERS GET 10% OFF\! Just send me a message to let me know you've been here before and I will issue a partial refund for the amount\. Nearby attractions include: Silverwood Theme Park \(12mi,\) Clagstone Meadows for hunting and/or hiking \(1mi,\) The Lavendar Farm \(3\.9mi,\) Athol Orchards \(11mi,\) Farragut State Park \(11mi,\) Round Lake State Park \(15mi\)

This property is set up against the neat little lake for backdrop and it was really cool to go down to the water and check that out. We only do dispersed sites, so it’s really nice to have this one so close to Silverwood and Sandpoint. Would definitely stay here again. "

You are camping amongst other homes but very spacious and peaceful. Boat launch and lake access a minute away which was great. Would camp here again for sure. One recommendation would be for an out house on site or something for my private restroom situation lol"

It was easy enough to get to and close to everything we needed. It had rained recently so there were a few mosquitos so you may want to bring bug spray. 10/10 recommend!"
