Bear Paw

The BEST camping spot

The property is absolutely beautiful - trees, a pond, lots of wildlife. It's very peaceful. There is plenty of space for campers or tents. Lots of shade available too. There is literally something here for everyone to do! Fire pit and pavilion; pond for swimming, boating/kayaking, fishing, etc.; walking trails; treehouses and log cabins and toys galore for the kids... Kevin and Lori are extremely nice and gracious hosts and checked in on us to be sure that we didn't need anything, no problems, etc. Our group will definitely be back!!

Our family had an amazing time at Bear Paw! Kevin and Lori were wonderful hosts. There was something to please everyone. We spent the days on the water and playground then relaxed by the fire at night. The little ones didn't want to leave and the older folks are already talking about the next time! Thank you for sharing your property with us 😊

Family fun for all

Bear Paw is an amazing place for a family reunion campout. My family love to stay there. There is lots to do and the hosts are very friendly. The kids love the rides in the dragon. The kayaks, zipline and sandy beach are all big hits.

Jordan Family Reunion 2024

Our family held our family reunion this weekend at Bear Paw. We all (ages 2years to 74 years old) had a wonderful time!! We swam, kayaked, zip-lined, jumped from the water swing and dock, fished, played in the tree house, ate lunch in the kid’s cabin, and most of all created lots of fun memories with our extended family! The property was perfect for camping, holding relay races, cooking/visiting under the pavilion, and we loved having the ability to see the children on the beach/playground from every angle. We all agreed that we wanted to come back again next year. Thank you Kevin & Lori for sharing your property with us and being so welcoming and attentive.
