2 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Bear Head Lake State Park Campground offers log cabins with bunk-style beds accommodating up to six people. These cabins include full-size bottom bunks and single top bunks, electric heat, a small table, and a screened-in porch. Lake Vermilion-Soudan Underground Mine State Park features modern cabins with electricity outlets, ceiling fans, baseboard heating, air conditioning, and hard floors. "Camper cabins are nice. They have bunk type beds. The beds on bottom are FULL size (can sleep 2 each) and the ones on top are singles. So 6 could sleep here," notes one camper about Bear Head Lake cabins. Each cabin site includes outdoor amenities such as picnic tables and fire rings, with nearby vault toilets or shower facilities depending on the location.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Basic cabins typically provide shelter and sleeping surfaces while deluxe options include more amenities like Wi-Fi and indoor lighting. Reservation policies vary by season, with summer months requiring advance booking. Most parks and campgrounds have strict pet policies—Lake Vermilion cabins prohibit pets inside cabins and on cabin decks with steep fines for violations. According to one visitor, "These cabins are a fairly new addition and aimed to cater to those that love winter outings but want warmth and electronic lifelines." Some campgrounds like Bear Head Lake State Park remain open year-round, offering cabins as comfortable winter camping alternatives.
Most cabins require visitors to bring their own bedding, including sleeping bags or sheets and blankets. Cooking facilities vary widely between locations—some cabins have outdoor food prep stations with electrical outlets while others only provide fire rings with grates. Firewood is often available for purchase at campground offices or through special permit systems. A review mentioned, "Firewood - this is a super cool policy. You can pay $10/day for a permit that you hand at your site. They have a 'shed' with pre-split wood that's dry and ready for the campfire." Basic supplies can be purchased at on-site camp stores or in nearby towns, though selection is typically limited to essentials.

"We showed up around 8 PM on a Friday and was still able to get a spot at this nice, quiet campground. It was a very peaceful spot since the gravel leading To it is quite a few miles off the highway."

GuideWe stayed Labor Day weekend 2026. The camp sites are huge. Site 29 has room for 3 hammock set ups. I did a tent with plenty of room to set up perfectly with a 2 person tent. Access to the water was tricky straight from the site but doable. Spent 4 hours on the water kayaking. The views are incredible.
ScoutThis is one of Minnesota’s more modern state park campgrounds—you even get Wi-Fi with your mosquitoes. We had perfect weather, a great fire, and a private-feeling site with 50-amp service; they allowed EV charging after I called ahead. A nearby trail and occasional passing car were the only traffic. Many sites appeared to be occupied by longer-term RV campers, complete with flags and welcome signs. The mine tour was absolutely worth it—book ahead, because several people were turned away.
GuideFrom the website, this place looks amazing. It checked all the right marks for our trip across the northern Midwest. When you pull in to the “resort,” it looks more like the set of a horror movie. The buildings are run down, the campsites are parking spots with no shade, a land of rich, lush forests. How is that even possible? We messaged the day before arrival and no one mentioned the raging wild fires just north of town about 10 miles, or the fire ban. Seems like something to mention. WiFi is only in the main building (hardly what can be called a lodge) and the restaurant/facilities aren’t even open on mondays when we arrived. We were grossly disappointed and with the state of the property and left to find anything somewhere else.
TravelerThis is a lovely campground. If youre looking for a family getaway its nice here. From my site the showers/toilets with dish washing sinks were right around the corner as well as the outhouse. The beach is large and has a beautiful view at sunset. This site is also close to a landing and the beach trail. The trails are well groomed and maintained with signs every so often. The sites are average size. They have picnic tables and fire pits.
Lots of wildlife here. We've seen a fox, just missed a big black bear, birds, and snapping turtles. The lake is quite large and has good fishing from the dock.
We camped on July 1st. The campground was not all the way full but definitely busy with the kiddos.
GuideLovely state park. Quiet and clean. Non electric sites were pretty private with trees and bushes between sites. We had a family get together and had plenty to do. The lake and beach were beautiful. We caught lots of sunnies and bass plus a northern and small walleye.
TravelerCamped in site 14 as part of our visit to all MN state parks. Very familiar with the area due to the BWCA but not this state park. Our site had a great combination of open area for wind flow and sun and shade to put our tent in. Again faced with great bathrooms a short walk and showers/larger rest room a short distance away. The site itself offered some of the more sheltered/remote camping locations of our trip (found those on the North Shore to be stacked on top one another) which is becoming nicer and nicer with the increase in RVs and generators in state parks. Lovely park, friendly staff, would love to visit again!
GuideWe rode ATV to this site and it empty. Right on the river and we needed bug spray for sure. There is a nice spring fed water hose that was close enough to hear while falling a sleep. It’s a bit out there from the ATV trails so we won’t be stopping again but it worked well for us.
ScoutThis campground is one of the best in the area, I was very impressed by the community beach, and also the outhouse is located on the north and south side of the campground. Also, the owners were super friendly and accommodating.
I was impressed by the quality of the bundles of firewood that I received, and also at the price of the ice, it seemed very fair overall, really good campground, will be back
ScoutOur family loved the campground, extremely clean and wonderful place to stay
We were amazed by the family feel, the quality of the fishing on trout lake, and the amount of seasonal sites available.
