ScoutVery nice campground. Sites are level and well marked. Picnic tables in good shape. Fire rings. Bathrooms and showers are good. Propane available is very nice. And reasonably priced. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable
RangerAmazing bike trails, really quiet but it is off season, surrounded by natural beauty
ScoutWe stayed two nights at the Bear Paw Campground. It's right off the lake.
There were nice views.
The bathrooms were nice and clean, with more than enough showers and stalls and sinks for everyone.
The biggest downside was our actual spot 37E. It was very small, with only gravel/sand for any flat ground. We had to put our tent kinda in-between our spot and our neighbors'. I don't think that a full-size camper (either 5th wheel or travel trailer) and a truck would fit in the spot either.
TravelerNice walking/hiking trails. More space between sites in the upper loops.
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.
TravelerGreat nature campground. Hunters Trail was beautiful with wildflowers and wildlife. Not too busy. Full hookups with WiFi available, but hard to get service in the area. Shower/bathrooms were clean and private.
ScoutWonder place to camp right on the water with good fishing
GuideNote... For some reason instead of uploading the video I wanted, it uploaded a completely different video from a different camping trip at a different campground. I don't know how to remove it without taking down the entire review. Sorry!
First of all I rate the state park in general the highest rating you can think of! My favorite state park by far!
My friend and I stayed at one of the cart in campsites thinking it would be private and quiet... But it wasn't. Even in the cart in sites (at least the one we were at) you can see your neighbors right next to you. The site itself was fairly large. Bathrooms clean. There is access to the lake, which was great for watching sunsets.
Overall, this campground isn't terrible, just like the other one better!
