NewsLake Bemidji State Park opens first-of-its-kind group camp for tents and RVs

Up to 50 people can soon stay at the new Lavinia Group Camp at Lake Bemidji State Park. With five 50-amp electric hookups for RVs and a large tenting area, the facility is the first of its kind in Minnesota state parks, according to the Department of Natural Resources.

The location is private and has its own water supply. There are two vault toilets on site, with showers and flush toilets a short walk away at the park campground building. A screened picnic shelter offers four picnic tables, counter space and electric outlets. Two pedestal grills and a custom-made “council” fire ring are just outside. The site includes parking for vehicles, trailers and boats. One of the RV sites is ADA-accessible.

The new group camp is located off of the Pine Lane loop of the main campground and just west of the old Lavinia Road. A drawing of the site can be found on the park’s website.
