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.

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

Very friendly staff and stuff to keep our kids busy! 9/7/2020

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
