About Us
Set along the eastern shore of Minnesota's Elbow Lake, Black Bear Hollow offers a spacious, quiet, modern seasonal RV camping experience. It was built with a simple philosophy: give campers room to breathe, trees to enjoy, and a lake to love.
Connected to the Northwoods
We offer a nice balance of outdoor adventure and modern comforts, with private, heavily wooded seasonal RV sites offering direct access to the lake, trails, and plenty more, all without sacrificing connectivity thanks to our modern utilities.
