ScoutTami and Rob are great hosts and they have a beautiful campground. They have a heated pool and spa. It’s mostly seasonal campers but they are a friendly bunch. We loved our time there and hated to leave, but we’ll be back!
TravelerEasy to access campground. We were in the Maple loop. It’s full, but we had enough quiet with the spacing and trees between the sites. Bathroom was clean and didn’t smell. Easy trail access. No real scenery in the campground other than the standard north woods.
ScoutWonder place to camp right on the water with good fishing
GuideThis campground is better than the bear paw one because they have sites that are bigger and more private.
*pine loop and poplar loops are best if you want private camping sites.
*site 211 is the biggest! That's where we stayed.
*there are two bathroom buildings which have flush toilets and showers. It's less than a five minute walk from just about anywhere in the campgrounds. Also multiple vault toilets.
*I had some cell coverage (t mobile) and so did my friend (Verizon). Usually when did, she didn't, and vice versa. I'd say a good portion of the campground doesn't have service, you may have to walk around a bit to get a bar or two. No wifi in the campgrounds (except where you purchase wood) but there's wifi in the visitor center.
*we saw a bear sighting almost every night. He was not aggressive and pretty skittish, just making noise scared him off. But beware you'll need to keep a clean campsite.
*lots of stuff to do here. The Mississippi headwaters is a must! There's a fire tower, museums, hiking, swimming, kayak rentals, and more! Also the park hosts events too. We went to one on the history of the headwaters and one for archery! Also the wilderness drive is a must!
*there's places to eat in this park too! There's a restaurant (didn't get to try bc it was closed at the time) and a little cafe next to the headwaters. It was delicious, they had sandwiches, pastries, coffee, etc.
TravelerPeople and park rangers friendly. Spread out spots.
TravelerThe perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Beautiful campground. Peaceful in every way.
Lake Bemidji State Park and Norway Beach campsites near Cass Lake, Minnesota sit within the Chippewa National Forest at approximately 1,300 feet elevation. The region features a continental climate with warm summers averaging 75-80°F and cold winters dropping well below freezing. Most campgrounds operate seasonally from May through September when the dense Norway pine forests provide natural shade and shelter.
Biking trails: Lake Bemidji State Park Campground connects to extensive paved pathways. "There are several well-marked hiking trails, ranging from easy walks to more challenging climbs with rewarding views. The lake was absolutely beautiful—perfect for kayaking, fishing, or just relaxing on the shore," notes Susan R.
Bog walks: Explore unique ecosystems with educational trails. "The park has several different biomes - oak forests, lakeshore, bog, pine forests with lovely hike-walks that can be as long or short as you need," shares Caroline and John P. at Lake Bemidji.
Boating options: Stony Pt Resort and Campground offers comprehensive water recreation. "There is a restaurant, beach/playground, indoor pool, game room and boat launch/marina where you can rent boats/pontoons and peddle boats," writes Brandy S.
Wildlife viewing: The Chippewa National Forest hosts diverse habitat areas. "Early summer is also probably not the best time as the surrounding bogs are probably great mosquito breeding grounds," advises Janet R. about Webster Lake timing.
Privacy levels: Norway Beach - Wanaki Campground Loop offers secluded sites. "This place is so beautiful and very well kept! There are beachside paths right to the lake from your campsite. Surrounded by trees so shaded and privacy," writes Amber R.
Clean facilities: Williams Narrows maintains high standards despite remote location. "Was very pleased surprised how fresh the bathrooms were given the humidity (zero smell)," notes Samantha K.
Spacious campsites: Many areas provide room to spread out. "Lots of space and we had a neighbor who you can hardly see..some sites are closer than others," reports Kay T. about Cass Lake Loop.
Campground hosts: Helpful staff enhance the camping experience. "Great hosts, they actually came over to introduce themselves as well as meet our dogs," shares Samantha K. about Williams Narrows.
Water access: Many campgrounds offer lake frontage. "Campround host as everything...and I mean everything to help you out if you forgot something. Some really great views of the lake as well and some sit above the water so you get a good perspective," writes Scott M. about Williams Narrows.
Potable water locations: Check water source designations. "Be careful with water as a lot of the faucets are not potable. Just a few potable and they are marked so pay attention," warns Mike G. about Stony Point.
Seasonal conditions: Itasca State Park Pine Ridge Campground experiences varying visitor patterns. "A big park with lots of campsites and plenty of campers. Most of the day visitors congregate in a few areas and, by late afternoon, it's not difficult to find some quiet spaces," explains Pete T.
Reservation needs: Popular glamping sites fill quickly. "Interesting you can rent these on the national forest site but also there are some that are not on the site including the one that we stayed at that was available during Memorial Day weekend when everything else was full," shares Teresa T.

Biking opportunities: Paved trails accommodate children. "The campground is usually full - and most of the electric sites are pretty close together. If you want privacy, this isn't that. But if you're ok with people mostly keeping to themselves at their own fire pits and lots of kids riding bikes, this is the place," notes Caroline and John P.

There is a restaurant, beach/playground, indoor pool, game room," says Brandy S. about Stony Point.
Site spacing: Consider proximity to neighbors. "The sites were weedy and very close together. The pool was fine but mini golf course was a disaster, total disrepair," reports Brandon L. about KOA Bemidji.
Water hookup locations: Some campgrounds require planning. "No water hookup at the sites, you have to fill up at the various spigots around the park," explains Rich S. about Norway Beach - Wanaki.
Vehicle size limitations: Not all roads accommodate larger rigs. "A large Pusher will have trouble but I seen people doing it. People are friendly and quiet. Camp sites are large with lots of large trees, a little on the rustic side which is what I look for," advises Mike G. about Stony Point Resort.
