Huggy Bear’s St. Jude Benefit and Showcase of Bands started in 2012 and happens during the month of July. Over the decade, the campground has raised over $1 million—benefiting the children and families at St. Jude.

Musical performances on Friday include Colt and Crew and Kaitlyn Schmit & the Move. Saturday’s lineup includes Erastus, Al’s Mixed up Band, and Good Night Gracie.

Huggy Bear Campground prides itself as a family-friendly, kid-friendly campground offering tons of recreational activities.

According to its website, Huggy Bear’s story dates back to 1997, when Mike and Lorrie Niese took a leap of faith, packed up their three kids, and bought a small 80-site campground in Middle Point–known then as Huggy Beair. 

They changed the Beair to Bear and started from the ground up. Over the years, the Nieses have made changes and improvements to the campground, including an additional 317 campsites, a second swimming pool, a concert stage, and more. 

Huggy Bear has sites with electric, water, and sewer. Campers can also stay in the newly renovated cabins with twin bunk beds, futon and queen size bed along with a microwave, refrigerator, and private full bathroom.

The fun never ends with Huggy Bear’s amenities, including swimming pools, a splash pad, a mini-golf course, a playground, and more.
