"Good spot close to Walker MN. Site location does matter. Waterfront sites are amazing we stay on the back side away from the beach. Well maintained and quiet."
"Great campground right on Leech Lake. A quick drive to Walker if you need any supplies. Plenty of options for getting firewood near by."
"It is accessible to the Heartland and Paul Bunyan Bike Trails. Walker is a cute little town - only 4 miles away by bike on the trails. The campground has a nice swimming pol and laundry facilities."
"We had a full h u Campsite the pool was beautifull and the Biketrail near by the RV park . A very good Restaurant nearby . From the Campground to Walker City 4 Miles We come back"
"The campsites are very wooded and private and situated along trails and the lakes. Small campground, and quite rustic so if that's what your looking for this is the ticket. "
"There is also another Gulch Lake Campground here, but this one that I reviewed is the GROUP camp. It's right on the trail, but don't let that deter you."
"The North Country Trail passes by this site and most sites on the NCT are free! (except for some that are in State Parks, etc). This free site is a very short walk from a parking area/trailhead."
"There is a campsite directly off the road or more down the trails. This is national forest land so free camping."
"I had a fun time on this lake. Really close to the shores of leach lake which is good for fishing"
"Quiet and peaceful- on Leach Lake. Walker is nearby and so much to offer."
$14 - $50 / night

"We were able to go and take a walk to the lake which is super short walk from pretty much any of the sites but really close from our site."
"Great campground on an even better lake"

"Beautiful island with great sites and a crystal clear lake surrounding."
"The Bear Paw campground is one of two main traditional drive-in campgrounds at Lake Itasca State Park."
"Highly recommend Site 2 for nice privacy, walkable proximity to water, close to pit toilet and extra parking. "
ScoutVery nice campground. The owners are very kind. They drive around before closing time to see if there is anyone needs. Many sites are very close to neighbors. Pool was nice and kids had a great time.
ScoutWe love this park and have been coming here since kids in the 80s. 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. 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.
Bathroom building is super clean. Shower rooms are singles and are separate from the toilet area.
Active park-volunteer group.
GuideWas able to reserve a nice spot at the last minute. Campground is very well maintained and the facilities/amenities are exceptionally nice.
ScoutCould just be the current political budget restraints but I tent camped Gull Lake RA for four nights never saw a Ranger. Here there is a security gate you have to go through before you enter and multiple Rangers. Could be that were so close to town here. highway traffic noise even at furthest site. I will ask about dispersed camping and try to report back. They have shower facilities here just like a gull lake. Yes that means noisy Motorhomes, and travel trailers at all sites.
ScoutBeen taking our travel trailer here for 10 years, very friendly hosts and great quiet little place for the family.
TravelerI love this place! The sites are almost all amazing especially if you're taking up more than 1 they all have good paths to eachother. Primitive so just a stinky outhouse, but seriously what do you expect in the woods?! Easily one of my favorite spots
GuideNice quiet spot out of the way. It was accessible even in winter. The snow was packed down enough to drive on even with a two wheel drive vehicle.
ScoutThis is a beautiful quiet place to park it for a while. There is everything here from 43 ft Class A rigs to tents. We were the only ones for about four days when we got here and now the campground is completely full. It’s the middle of September, and you wouldn’t know you were practically in the middle of the city with all the foliage. The only downfall is you have to unhook to go dump every so often. Thankfully the dump site is inside the campground
ScoutWas here every summer in the late eighties and early nineties as a kid with my family and it’s still as nice and peaceful as it was then. I’ll continue to keep coming back every summer
