Bowen Lodge

Is Bowen Lodge more than a campground? Absolutely. Situated at the edge of Lake Winnibigoshish and Cut Foot Sioux Lake in the Chippewa National Forest, this unique destination combines the intimate charm of a family-run retreat with an array of natural beauty and outdoor recreation opportunities. Campers seeking solitude and exceptional fishing will find it here, alongside a deep sense of connection to both the forest canopy and the shimmering waters.

Bowen Lodge offers a limited selection of well-appointed RV sites with full hookups (water, sewer, and electric), and access to all resort amenities, including a lakeside timber-framed lodge featuring a stone fireplace, gift shop, and fishing essentials. Notably, the property provides direct access to Minnesota’s renowned multi-species fisheries, where anglers can target walleye, muskie, bass, and more. With no on-site public restrooms or showers, RVs must be self-contained, ensuring a peaceful, distraction-free experience.

Located just 20 minutes from Deer River, this lakeside haven is perfect for weekend getaways and extended stays. Nearby, the Cut Foot Sioux and Simpson Creek trail systems offer miles of hiking and mountain biking adventures, while abundant wildlife, including bald eagles and loons, provides endless opportunities for nature observation. Whether it’s fishing, boating, or simply unwinding beneath the towering pines, Bowen Lodge delivers an authentic northwoods escape.
