East Bearskin Lake Campground

I’ve seen a lot of mixed reviews on this campsite. My experience was pretty positive. I booked online via Recreation.gov — However when I arrived at my site it didn’t have any reservation papers attached to the sign. We also were never approached by any “camp host.” The lake access is small but perfect for launching canoes, kayaks, paddle boards, and small fishing boats. The first day we kayaked roughly 5 miles (round trip) to Crocodile falls. It sits on a very calm lake. Which attaches to about a dozen other lakes. THE SITE: - It was a bit rocky but had a semi grass patch where we pitched tent - Picnic table to gross but it is to be expected - Very cheap for the area - The fire pit was very nice! THE CAMP GROUND: - It was super super quiet - Each site was very secluded from the oth

Spectacular 24hr stay here! Met the owners, really sweet & accommodating. The bundled up fur baby spent a lot of time making swirls in the water, bouncing around & just being a puppy. Falling asleep to the sounds of nature, & waking up just as peaceful made it very hard to leave. I would definitely recommend this campground, if not for the natural beauty, but for the amazing service we were given - even though we were couple days early before it truly opened.

If you’re looking to stay in a cabin here (within the campground not the lodge cabins) definitely choose the Alder Cabin. Also you do not need to check in at the Bear Skin Lodge for keys, unless you want to (and it’s a $5 deposit for the keys) otherwise just go to the cabin. Also the check out at 11am and check in at 3pm is worthless considering it’s not like they clean them between. If you show up early and the last people are gone, you’re free to set up. We stayed one night in Alder and then changed to Aspen. I thought given the way the map looks that Aspen would have been closer to the water than Alder but it wasn’t really. Neither cabin can see the lake but both have a short, tight, wooded walk to a private area at the lake. However the Aspen cabin has a useless landing, it’s small, w

Beautiful . Liked the cabin we stayed in. Very comfy

Nice rustic campground, we were able to keep it canoes close to our campsite and went swimming every evening at the boat landing. We all enjoyed booking around camp and to the nearby Bearskin Lodge
