This was an overnight stopover our way west. The site was spacious compared to some state parks. There were plenty of trees and a bit of terrain changes that made them more appealing. The lake was large and inviting (except for current swimmer's itch breakout). The bathrooms and showers were clean and the park staff was pleasant.

We were scheduled for 5 nights, but extended to 8 because it was such a great spot. Don and his wife were very nice, and super helpful. We checked in late, and Don even helped us set up camp. Nice pool too. Showers and bathrooms are very clean. Laundry is nice. Highly recommend if you can snag a spot.
Traveler
Friendly family owned, will definitely be back!

This campground is incredibly peaceful. Even with kids and most spots full, it’s just quiet. Lake is beautiful. Things are clean.
RangerMany bike and walking/hiking trails. Well maintained park. Many Campsites are level and we just backed in and set up.
Men’s bathroom is cleaned twice a day! Showers are clean and water is hot!
Drinking water is good.
Great trails to hike. Super nice Visitors Center with great interactive displays to learn about the park.
View from the fire tower is spectacular! Beautiful wild flowers blooming along the trails. Took many pictures of loons on Mary’s lake.
TravelerI stay at Cabin, it's is nice. Got heater, electric , ac, fans, light, water pump nearby, outback toilet near too, ranger is friendly and helpful, have picnic table, fire pit , bugs not too badly. I'll come back to that cabin

Basically have a 24/7 help number, always ready to answer questions, the cutest little gift shop,,,ice cream!! it was perfect and we only stayed a night!!
Scout
Is this place still open for use? how do I contact them?
Scout
Most of this camp is reserved for seasonal campers but they have 2 extra sites. One Full hook up and one electric site. The full hook up site is a little tight if you bring a big RV, backing up is a skill you must bring.
When I was here, we were very close to Crooked lake which is a beautiful with a great fishery. I mainly came here for fishing and it was great.
They do have cabins that overlook Crooked lake and all I have to say is that it’s beautiful. They do have there own boat launch if you bring any type of water vessel. It cost $5 per day to dock it on their docks. They treat there RV sites and cabins which is a plus because we don’t have many mosquitoes during the day and night.
I would highly recommend this site for fishing and those who just want to get out. Booking was very easy and straight forward!
Full hook up: $50 a day Electric only: $40 a day.
$100 security deposit once booked which goes into your bill.
TravelerI love this park! We try to go at least once a year. Great facilities at the campgrounds- bear paw is probably best, it’s right on the lake and more spread out, but pine ridge is fine too. The park has awesome hiking, lots of things to do, and great rentals for fun on the lake. Do not miss!
Scout
Looking for a nice place to call home, this is a great little KOA ride along the highway with easy access for both small and large rigs. It's location to Lake Itasca, and the headwaters of the Mississippi, not to mention Paul Bunyan, and blue – – make this a great stop over destination.

There is high speed internet on premise. This is the perfect place for couple, families, and solo travelers that want to spoil themselves. Check them out and leave them some love!
ScoutQuiet night on the most secluded spot.
GuideWell maintained, clean modern bathrooms. Several good hiking trails. Nice swimming beach. Sites are a little close together.

Such a fun, family, lakes, fishing, water sports, party place to be!!!
TravelerA great spot for fall camping! This spot was a close walk to the primitive toilet and offered a great view of the lake. This site offered a picnic table and fire ring. Some sites had electrical hookups, but I stayed at a tent spot. Pulling into the parking spot for each site was difficult, so patience is required. I saw a raccoon at my site in the middle of the night when taking a bathroom break and was glad my food was safely stowed in my car. Overall great spot for fall camping!
TravelerBeautiful sights from your tent site, walk in or camper, walk, drive, or bike to either the visitors center or the Mississippi Headwaters area and see yourself on the live Webcam at the Lake Itasca MN DNR Website. Yes and the fall colors and the nights sky is amazing as well.
Scout
We were on the main part of the loop with more traffic and no barrier to the dusty road. Less wind made the next day better but I’d recommend being further in. Great ambiance and real friendly people, dog friendly too. We were here when fall colors peaked, beautiful!
ScoutNice level site, clean bathroom/shower facilities, park is beautiful!

This is a primo group camping center within Itasca State Park, secluded and very separate from any of the other Park campgrounds. It has a mix of historic log buildings including a lodge building that is pefect for group meetings and classes, and is also equipped with a full commercial kitchen. In addition the camp center has cabin accomodations, RV campsites, group tent sites, and more secluded hike-in campsites. It is located adjacent to Lake Windigo, which has boat access and a fishing pier, but also has trails and has easy access to the Wilderness Drive bike loop and the Wilderness Scientific Natural Area hiking trails. It is a short drive to the Headwaters and the cafe and visitor center there, too. It is often used for meetings, family reunions, and scout camp programs, and is perfect for that. A brand new bath and shower house has been recently added, so it makes for a superb group center. Covid restrictions have limited this camping center's availabilty due to social distancing restrictions, but hopefully it will be available and in full swing by next summer!
RangerOne of the Greatest MN State Parks - put it on your list! I'll try to keep comments brief here, but pictures/descriptions plentiful. We chose Bear Paw campground to be walkable to the water. Highly recommend Site 2 for nice privacy, walkable proximity to water, close to pit toilet and extra parking. After exploring Pine Ridge Camp by car, we did find other more private camp sites, but we were quite happy in Bear Paw.
To do:
- walk to hidden beach
- short drivable drop in for kayaks
- rent a pontoon at Itasca Sports
- walk the headwaters (and geocache!)
- bike on LOVELY paths, thru UofM research area, to headwaters, etc
- visit Jacob V. Brower Visitor Center for a GREAT interpretive museum (really quite good)
- have an early dinner and explore around at Douglas Lodge
- explore short or long hikes in the park, many short walks accessible from Wilderness Drive include the biggest old red and white pines
- climb the fire tower for incredible views (NOT ME!!!)
- explore many other historic sites from pioneer days in the area
GuideThis was a great campground. We stayed in site 77e, this was semi wooded. The bathrooms and water spigot were near the campsite. There are a lot of great hiking and walking trails. The walking trail from the campground will bring you to the headwaters.
GuideWe stayed at Camp Ground for 3 days. Short way to a beautifull Beach on the lake Bemidji. Very nice Bike trails. We made a Bike Tour around the lake and visit the beautifull downtown. The privacy between the Campsites is not so good. Thats why 4 Stars
ScoutI stayed at BP#5, just on McKay Lake. It was beautiful and peaceful. The site is small. I had trouble finding space for my 4-man tent. There was no space for table and couldn't find a greatly spaced set of trees for a hammock. I was able to pitch very close to the fire pit (almost on top of it), because there was a fire ban in place and I wasn't going to be using it. Even though the space was so limited, it was far enough away from other sites, from the main trails, and from all roads that all you hear is the wind in the trees, the critters in the bush, and your own breathing. Picture perfect sunset. Lake is very cool and swimming is great! Stay away from the mush around the shore as there are leeches.
GuideStayed at site #2, which is one of the more private sites. Spacious, picnic table and fire ring, several set of trees suitable for hammocks. Vault toilet a few steps away, flush toilets and showers a short walk away. Did a small amount of hiking, but there are extensive trails. Breathtaking views of several lakes and old growth pines throughout the park.
