About this place
From the business
Stay on the property
Bear Paw offers private cabins, chalets, group lodging, and seasonal campsites. Lodging options vary, but published amenities include combinations of Starlink Wi-Fi, heat and air conditioning, private bathrooms, kitchens or group space, electric campsite hookups, fire rings, and access to public campground bathroom and shower facilities.
Several lodging types can share one property without turning this listing into a booking engine: compare unit types on the official lodging pages, then check availability for your dates.
Eat and drink without another drive
The seasonal restaurant serves made-from-scratch pizza, burgers, quesadillas, and pub food. In-season service is commonly Friday and Saturday 3–9 p.m. and Sunday and Monday 3–8 p.m.; confirm current hours before you travel. Service is walk-in and dine-in—not online ordering.
The Northwoods pub offers beer, familiar cocktails, games, and a place to gather within walking distance of lodging and campsites when open.
