Bemidji, Minnesota Campground | Bemidji KOA Journey

Acres of pristine forests and 60 shimmering lakes within 15 miles make the Bemidji area a woods, water and wildlife oasis.

Acres of pristine forests and 60 shimmering lakes within 15 miles make the Bemidji area a woods, water and wildlife oasis. The legendary Mississippi River starts as a creek you can step across in nearby Itasca State Park. Neighboring Lake Bemidji is a favorite spot for water-sports enthusiasts and anglers looking for walleye and perch. Soaring bald eagles with 6-foot wingspans thrill hikers in the Chippewa National Forest. Fun-bike rentals, a game room, mini golf, a playground and a swimming pool keep campers busy at this KOA. Limited facilities in spring and fall. Pool: Memorial Weekend - Labor Day Weekend. Max pull thru: 100 feet.
Protect Minnesota's Forest and Urban Trees from emerald ash borer or gypsy moth - burn firewood only where you buy it. Please don't bring any firewood with you unless it is certified.

Nice place for an overnight stay. 9/13/2021

We had a nice stay over the Labor Day weekend. Though the campground looked to be nearly completely full it was not loud at all. Our patio site was very nice. The location is very good for many day trips using the campground as a home base... 9/8/2021

We're from MI on a little ride-about on the motorcycles and happened to land in Bemidji. Our two days at the Bemidji KOa turned into four. Staff was very friendly and accommodating and the campground very clean Would definitely recommend and stay again. Thanks! 9/7/2021

Great place and good Root Beer Floats 9/6/2021

Grounds are well kept. Staff is 5 star- friendly and helpful! Recommend updating showers/restroom. There’s no space in the shower to keep anything dry. It’s tolerable but all other KOAs I’ve been to have had really nice showers. Lot sizes are nice and spacious 9/6/2021

Hosts were great 9/5/2021

I just stayed overnight. So, I cannot tell much about anything but the hot, powerful shower. I have to give it a 5-star rating since 6-star wasn’t available! 9/3/2021
