Welcome to Bear Head Lake State Park Campground, nestled near Ely, MN. This spot is a gem for those who crave a mix of tranquility and adventure. The campground is open year-round, so whether you're a summer sun-seeker or a winter wanderer, there's always something to enjoy.
The campsites here are pretty varied. Some are perfect for tents, others cater to RVs, and there are even cozy cabins if you prefer a bit more comfort. One thing visitors consistently rave about is the privacy of the sites, especially in the non-electric areas. You won't feel like you're on top of your neighbors, which is a big plus.
Bear Head Lake itself is a highlight. It's a great spot for canoeing, and there are individual docks for fishing. The trails around the park are well-maintained and offer plenty of opportunities to explore the beautiful Northwoods. If you're into hiking, there's a tough but rewarding 1.5-mile trek to a secluded backpacking site with a stunning lake view. Just be prepared for a bit of a workout!
Amenities include drinking water, electric hookups, showers, and toilets. There's also a market for any essentials you might need. And yes, you can have a campfire—just remember to grab some firewood from the park.
A word to the wise: bring plenty of bug spray. The mosquitoes and black flies can be relentless, especially in the more remote areas. But don't let that deter you; the natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere make it all worthwhile.
So pack your gear, bring your sense of adventure, and get ready to enjoy everything Bear Head Lake State Park Campground has to offer. Happy camping!
