About this campground

Bear Head Lake State Park near Ely Minnesota was voted America's Best Park in 2010 and offers 75+ RV and tent camping sites. Ample outdoor activities available.

What campers say

Bear Head Lake State Park offers scenic pine forests and a beautiful lakeshore with easy water access, docks and affordable kayak/boat rentals, making it popular for families, day use and paddling. Camp sites and backpack sites feel secluded and spacious; cabins and a group room provide weather-friendly options. Trails (including the Norberg loop) are scenic though limited in mileage. Practical tradeoffs: electric sites tend to be gravel-heavy and can be less tent-friendly and may collect water in heavy rain, the access road is winding, and mosquitoes can be active seasonally. Restrooms and showers are generally clean and well maintained.
