East Bearskin Lake Campground

Very clean, fresh pine feel! Nicely spaced from other campsites. Great roomy design with 2 bunks, table, and loft.

Great campground in the perfect location that felt very remote. We had a cabin next door with high turnover of boaters who were not the best neighbors, and we’d been led to believe we could fill our pop-up water tank onsite which proved untrue. Also, recreation.gov didn’t warn us a fire ban had been put in place, but luckily I learned of that accidentally before we got there.

Love Bearskin Campground.

N/A

clean, quiet, space between the camps, lots of places to walk, good lake to paddle, fine spot before an entry or exit to the BWCA...thanks.

Loved it!

Concessionaire Bearskin Lodge very unhelpful. Campsite next to us started a fire when burning restrictions we on. We reported it to the Lodge, but she said that was not really their job, they "wouldn't go slap their wrists". Told us we could call the forest service ourselves. Person working said, "I am closing in about 30 seconds so didn't know what they could do about it." They did not go to the campground at all to speak to the campers about the fire. My husband went to talk to them, they said, "they didn't know about the burning ban.". We think the Lodge should have talked to them instead of leaving it up to us.
Very disappointed with them.

East Bearskin is a beautiful, clean campground. Our site had plenty of room for two vehicles and three tents. It also had a path through the woods down to the lake, where a canoe could be landed. The boat landing looked awesome. I think we will return for a longer stay.

We have been coming to this campground for over 25 years and have seen the changes from a first come campground to the current reservation system. I am not a fan of the reservation system since it's the Superior National Forest but it is what it is.

Whoever is responsible for the maintenance of the restrooms and trash are are doing a horrible job. The guy comes around and fills the toilet paper but doesn't clean the restrooms and doesn't leave enough TP for the amount of people that are staying in the campground; they restrooms consistently run out of TP. Also, there's no recycling at this facility; Devil Track and Two Islands offers recycling, which keeps the trash bin from overflowing. Ravenwood also sanitizes the restrooms at Devil Track and Two Islands, which we did not see done at East Bearskin ONCE!

There is a flat site charge of $20 / night, which for some of the first-come sites is WAY too much money. For Example, Site #13 is one of the worst sites and not worth more than $10 / night.

Whoever is managing this campground has turned it into one of the worst campgrounds in the Superior Nat'l Forest.

Peaceful and beautiful!
