South Bear Access 5 is a public fishing access point on South Bear Creek near Highlandville, Iowa, offering primitive free camping with rock fire rings and direct stream access for trout fishing.

The site features seasonal porta-potty facilities and is best visited during winter months for solitude, though it can become busy during spring through fall when generator noise from RVs may be a concern.

A 4WD vehicle is recommended as the unpaved site is not plowed in winter.
