Getting Outdoors

Bear Head Lake State Park is in northern Minnesota, where the forests of the state are the most dense and expansive. There is a lot of opportunity for outdoor activity in and around the park, and it is easy to extend your enjoyment when you are motorhome camping instead of staying in hotels. One of the nearest and most easily accessible attractions at the park is the lake itself, which has over 23 miles of lakeshore surrounding it. Outdoor enthusiasts can easily rent a paddleboard from the park office and get right on the water, or if they prefer, go for a dip to cool off in the summer heat.

Camping at Bear Head Lake State Park

During the summer months is, of course, the best time to enjoy Bear Head Lake State Park camping, and the typical camping season this far north in Minnesota stretches from early May until mid-October. You can camp at any time of the year at Bear Head Lake State Park, but when staying over in the winter, be sure to prepare accordingly. There is a large campground at the park that can be used for both RVs and tents, and both types of camping share the same communal structures. These communal structures include a dumping station, hot showers, flushing toilets, and a few large picnic shelters.

Exploring the Area

To the north of the state park, toward Ely, you can enjoy two amazing opportunities to interact with wildlife. Both the North American Bear Center and the International Wolf Center are in this area, and both have fantastic programs to educate the public on these wild animals. While here, learn through interactive exhibits and artifacts, and watch trained professionals interact directly with the animals in a controlled setting.

Recent RV rental reviews in Bear Head Lake State Park

Diane P.

August, 2025

The owners were easy to communicate with prior to my reservation. I had the trailer delivered to a state park site. We agreed on set up and pick up times and all went as planned. Super nice couple. They were available during my stay if I needed assistance. I didn't. I would definitely rent from them again. I had lots of fun.
