What Guests Are Saying
Bimijiwan Recreation Area offers a beautiful campground with potential, highlighted by enjoyable activities like kayaking and fishing. However, recent severe storms caused significant damage, leaving downed trees and affecting the campground's overall condition. While the area has experienced neglect in maintenance, many visitors hope for improvements in the future to restore its former charm.

Tons of mosquitoes in the morning and evening. Tons of biting flies during the middle of the day. Plentiful ticks in the grass. No fish caught from the dock. Shells that cut my kids' feet at the beach.
Cursed camping site. 0/5

Had a great time at this campground. We had campsite number 4. This campsite had lots of space and a little path right to the river. We brought our kayaks and paddled around the camp area and the dam. The dam is pretty and is a fun thing to do at the campground. The only complaint I have is that one of the campsites decided to cut down a tree in the campsite at 8:00am! Definitely not cool, there is a gas station about 7 min away that sells dnr approved wood. Otherwise I had a great time. Would definitely go again!

Spacious sites and beautiful beach. Nice fishing peer with a variety of fish species and the potential for a lunker.

Cell service wasn't as good as anticipated, but if you walk around the quaint and intimate park then you'll find service. Very well maintained, clean bathrooms, and private camping areas with great beach/lake access!
