Campfire Bay Resort

Just two hours north of the Twin Cities on the 1,305-acre Fish Trap Lake lies Campfire Bay Resort. Rediscover that nostalgic old-time resort feeling at Campfire Bay, whose intimate environment invites you to become part of the family. You can canoe in the stillness of the morning, fish for trophy walleye, northerns and crappies, play volleyball, golf on the nearby 18-hole championship course or enjoy fun-filled organized activities for kids and families. One- to four-bedroom cabins can be as secluded or as much a part of the action as you’d like; each rest 15 to 150 feet from the water with incredible Minnesota lake views. End each day with an evening bonfire and yummy campfire donut!

Family

Going above and beyond what most small resorts offer, Campfire Bay delights families with an abundance of planned activities, from tie-dying and jewelry making to fishing contests and sunset pontoon cruises. Plus, there’s a gradually sloping beach and free use of canoes, kayaks and hydro-bikes.

Fishing

While the lake is relatively unknown to most, true fishermen know its bounty. With Fish Trap’s varied structure, picturesque scenery and abundance of trophy walleye, northern and crappie, you’ll be casting from morning till night. Rent a boat or bring your own … the fish are there for the taking!

Lake

Reminiscent of the Boundary Waters, Fish Trap Lake's scenery is awe-inspiring with an abundance of wildlife and crystal clear water. Watch as Bald Eagles soar above and Great Blue Herons stand regally along the shore. Created by a glacier, this lake’s structure is perfect for catching the “Big One.”

Vacation Rental

The twin Willow and Tamarack cabins at Campfire Bay are spacious 3-story, 4-bedroom units with 3 full bathrooms, two living rooms with two fireplaces each. Cabins have full kitchens featuring two refrigerators each, ideal for MN family reunions and retreats. Enjoy the whirlpool tub in each cabin.

Cabins And Cottages

With the exception of Eagle Nest, which is perched above the resort, all cabins are lake level, just a few easy steps to the water. Every cabin features a gorgeous lake view, cozy up-North décor, full kitchen and most have decks with grills. Total relaxation and comfort await you at Campfire Bay.
