Absolutely beautiful! This is by far my favorite state park. The campground is large yet gives a sense of privacy, the restrooms are clean and modern, and most importantly the park itself is gorgeous.

Overall and excellent campground. I would try for any sites in the 50s as they are next to the water. Also, loop 1-24 are excellent. Most sites are large and spread out and under majestic pines. Plus, it is next to the lake and has many spots where you can tie up your boat to little docks next to the campground. Not many state park campgrounds have a marina. It has nice modern and updated bathroom buildings.

Last-minute gem with stunning fall colors! Snagged a campsite at the last minute for the first weekend of October and was pleasantly surprised. The restroom was clean and conveniently located, and the water source was nearby. We enjoyed a cozy bonfire under a sky full of stars. Waking up to the vibrant fall foliage and the serene lake view was a treat. The drive back was equally enjoyable, as we missed the stunning night-time fall colors. Highly recommend Bear Head Lake Campground for a peaceful and scenic getaway!

Hiked the Norberh Lake trail. Had some amazing views. Nice and secluded.

Site#22 was fine: close enough to Nature Trail and a quick walk to a Restroom. Other R/S near the Fish-Cleaning Station had BOTH Women's toilets out of order so we never used that facility, even tho it was closest to our site. Brought our own canoe & gear so thoroughly enjoyed paddling Bear Head Lake. Took portage to Lake Holder but distance of that portage is NOT accurate...much longer than it says. Nevertheless, we found Lobster mushrooms in abundance which was a real treat! Remote Campsites we may consider next visit. Included bear-proof box for showing gear. Norberg Lake Trail (RT=@ 3 miles)was beautiful and well worth exploring! Helpful & friendly staff. Gorgeous picnic grounds near swimming area too...which we belatedly discovered....including a beautiful Trail Center bldg w/ wood fi
