Bemidji, Minnesota Campground

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. Your hosts: the Vannoy family.

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.

Overall Camper Rating:

The hosts very kindly accommodated us on the last day of their season...plus one more night! We had a couple of brief pleasant visits with them. The women's restroom was charmingly personalized with custom painting on the stall doors and mirrors. Disappointingly... 10/6/2020

Beautiful setting. 9/18/2020

We love the area & lakes. Campground is very clean & well cared for. The amenities are great. Service was excellent too. The staff are very accommodating. My only complaint is slow internet & needing to log back in multiple times.....We will definitely stay again. 9/14/2020

Away from Hwy 71 but easy access to town Hwy 2. Level sites, just wish there was a little more space between our site 11 and the off door site which kept suitcases and a wheelbarrow outside. Campground is well maintained, large fenced dog park, playground, pool, mini-golf... 9/11/2020

Great location. Clean and roomy with treed lots. Good internet and cable. Great friendly service staff too. 9/7/2020

Very nice. Large sites with cement pad adjacent for steps and chairs. Clean. Kind of odd but in men's shower/restroom only one of the sinks has a faucet to allow water temperature control. So one person shaving at a time if you use their facilities. 9/6/2020
