It would have been better to have knowledge that there was no wood to be purchased, so that I could have brought an axe or something to get wood for a campfire...should have been told at registration time online.

It was a nice clean site . But the very heavy picnic table was 6 inches from the fire pit :-( I hurt my back helping hubby move it :-(

I’ve been coming to bear lake for 12 years now and it never disappoints. Hands down Wisconsin’s best campground. The walk in sites are especially nice and private with each site having direct access to the lake. The lake is clean and great to float around in and listen to the resident loon family. Bring your kayak, paddleboard or non motorized boat and park it right by your site.
