Lake Bemidji Campground

About

Lake Bemidji State Park Campground occupies a shaded, wooded area directly on the shores of Lake Bemidji in northern Minnesota. The 95-site campground includes 43 sites with 30-amp electrical hookups, 4-5 pull-through sites suitable for larger RVs, and 4 wheelchair-accessible campsites. Modern amenities include flush toilets, hot-water showers, potable water spigots, and an RV dump station, though the showers, flush toilets, and dump station are seasonal and close during winter months. Vault toilets remain available year-round. Free WiFi covers both the campground and visitor center. The park provides excellent lake access with a swimming beach, marina, and boat launch for exploring 6,420-acre Lake Bemidji. Anglers target walleye, northern pike, and panfish. Beyond the water, 15 miles of trails wind through old-growth pine forests, bog boardwalks, and habitat for wildlife including bald eagles and white-tailed deer. Winter visitors can cross-country ski, snowshoe, or snowmobile, though winter camping is limited to one drive-in site with additional walk-in options available after snow cover. Year-round naturalist-led programs operate from the visitor center.
