“I've been going up to Bear Paw for years now. It never disappoints! It's a quaint, beautiful area and the food is amazing. It has that homey, woodsy, Northern Wisconsin feel to it. Their pizza (pictured) is my all time favorite item to order there. Bear Paw has several lodging options available as well. The apartment I stayed in is pictured below. It fits 7 people - there is another bedroom with a queen bed not pictured here. They don't supply sheets but my friends and I brought sleeping bags so it was fine. It has a full kitchen (microwave, stove, freezer, fridge) with plenty of kitchen cabinets for storage. Ceiling fans in the bedrooms help keep it cool. Only 1-2 minute walk from Bear Paw. I would totally stay there again!”

“Eric is always a light on our yearly trip to Wisconsin. We found this camp and it's now our favorite destination. Every year they add more to look forward too. And don't get me started on Mexican Monday. The food and drinks are perfect.”
