Campfire Bay Resort on Fish Trap Lake: Cabins, Campfires, and Kid‑Approved Fun near Brainerd, MN. A RentMinnesotaCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2013!

If you’re eyeing Minnesota lakeside cabins where the beach is steps away and the waffle cones are legendary, point your compass to Campfire Bay Resort on Fish Trap Lake. This family‑run resort blends simple lake life with the comforts Cabintimers love: lake‑level cabins, a sandy swim area, daily activities for kids, and a cozy lodge for coffee and ice cream between adventures. Book direct with the owner/manager for the best experience—no service fees, no middleman, and local tips baked into every stay.

Campfire Bay sits on the shores of Fish Trap Lake in the Brainerd Lakes Area. The setting makes it easy to slow down. Mornings can start with a quiet paddle. Afternoons can mean beach time and boat rides. Evenings end around a crackling campfire, swapping stories under the stars.

Lakeside cabins made for families and groups

Cabintimers can choose from two‑, three‑, and four‑bedroom cabins. Most are modern builds set 15 to 150 feet from the shoreline, so lake views and quick beach access come standard. Interiors are designed for easy living: full kitchens for big breakfasts, air conditioning for summer comfort, gas fireplaces for shoulder‑season coziness, and decks or patios for sunset hangs. Some cabins include a smart lock‑out door between neighboring units—rent side‑by‑side and open them up for more space during reunions.

Traveling with a large group? The four‑bedroom options near the beach make coordinating naps, snacks, and swim breaks simple. Multi‑generational groups can spread out, yet still feel together. If you’re planning a retreat or celebration, ask about the flexible spaces on site for indoor meals and meetings.

A beach day every day

Fish Trap Lake is a clear‑water playground. The resort’s sandy swim area is perfect for kids, with water toys that keep everyone smiling. Guests use stand‑up paddleboards, kayaks, canoes, and hydrobikes at no extra charge. Want to fish or cruise? Rent a fishing boat or pontoon and explore bays, islands, and points that make this lake a favorite with anglers and photographers alike.

When the sun gets hot, the lodge is your go‑to for hand‑scooped ice cream in homemade waffle cones, espresso drinks, and quick snacks. It also stocks lake apparel and gifts, so forgotten sweatshirts and last‑minute souvenirs are covered.

Rain‑or‑shine fun in the Rec Center and Lodge

Weather plays nice most of the time, but you’ll have a plan either way. The Rec Center features a full gym court for basketball, volleyball, and open play, plus a fitness room, a kids’ play space, and an on‑site day spa for massages and nail services. The lodge adds a game room with ping‑pong, pool, and more, along with a craft/meeting room that doubles as bonus space for group meals and rainy‑day projects.

Fishing that keeps you coming back

Fish Trap Lake holds walleye, northern pike, largemouth bass, crappie, and panfish. You’ll find steep breaks, sunken islands, and weedlines that set up classic “Up North” structure fishing. Early risers cast from the dock. Trollers work points and saddles. Kids light up over steady panfish action close to shore. After the photo ops, a convenient fish‑cleaning house makes the final step quick and tidy.

Four seasons of adventure

Summer brings beach days, boat rides, and the resort’s organized activities for kids. Fall adds fiery maples, crisp mornings, and hot‑bite fishing sessions. Winter shifts the fun to sledding hills on property, snowmobiling right past the resort on groomed trails, and cozy cabin time with games and movies. Spring rewards anglers and wildlife watchers—think loons calling at dawn and eagles cruising the shoreline.

Nearby things to do for easy day trips

Little Falls (25–30 minutes) packs a lot into a small river town. Walk the paths along the Mississippi at Charles A. Lindbergh State Park, tour the Lindbergh House and Museum across the road, and visit Pine Grove Zoo for an afternoon with the animals. Downtown offers local dining, bakeries, and boutiques—great stops after a hike.

Brainerd/Baxter (35–40 minutes) is your base for classic Up North fun. Bike a stretch of the paved Paul Bunyan State Trail, play a round at area courses, or stop at wildlife parks and mini‑golf spots that keep kids entertained.

Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area (about 45–50 minutes) is Minnesota’s red‑dirt mountain bike mecca, with miles of purpose‑built singletrack and overlooks of turquoise mine lakes. Trails range from beginner‑friendly to advanced, so everyone can ride.

Tips for Cabintimers

Book direct. You’ll avoid platform fees, get the most accurate availability, and can ask specific cabin questions before you reserve. Share your goals with the owner/manager—quiet week on the beach, first walleye, pickleball in the gym, a birthday dinner for ten—and they’ll steer you to the right cabin and activities.

Match your cabin to your crew. Two bedrooms work well for small families. Three bedrooms add elbow room for grandparents. Four bedrooms near the beach are great for reunions. Consider renting neighboring units with the lock‑out option for “together but separate” flexibility.

Plan one big group meal in the lodge or your cabin. Stock the fridge, assign a chef, and let the rest of the group rotate through beach duty, boat duty, and waffle‑cone duty.

Ready to go?

Campfire Bay Resort is cabin life without the guesswork—clean lakeside cabins, a real sandy beach, kid‑focused extras, and friendly, hands‑on owners who know the Brainerd Lakes Area inside and out. Cabintimers, book direct at campfirebayresort.com and start planning your Fish Trap Lake story. No service fees. No middleman. Just lake time, your way.

Lake Wabana’s Birch-Tree Escape: WA-GA-THA-KA Resort Lists 7 Cabins Partnering With RentMinnesotaCabins.com.

Lake Wabana’s Birch-Tree Escape: WA-GA-THA-KA Resort Lists 7 Cabins Partnering With RentMinnesotaCabins.com.

Just 13 miles north of Grand Rapids, MN, WA-GA-THA-KA Resort spreads out along the gin-clear shoreline of Lake Wabana. Seven classic cabins—each with full kitchens, screened porches, and a private fire ring—sit among towering birch and pine. The Ojibwe name means “dwelling place among the birch trees,” and three generations of the Miner family still greet guests with stories, extra firewood, and a promise of easy lake days.

Life on the Water

Morning mist slips off the bay as loons whistle. Cabintimers grab a free canoe or paddleboat right from the dock, or troll Little Wabana’s rock points for walleye and smallmouth bass. Kids build sandcastles on the wide beach, spike a volleyball, then cool off with cannonballs from the swim raft. Even better—each cabin stay comes with unlimited split wood for the lakeside sauna and your nightly s’more session.

Classic Cabins, Smart Updates

Inside, knotty-pine walls frame big windows that pull the lake view indoors. New mattresses, dependable Wi-Fi, and modern appliances keep everyone comfy without stealing the spotlight from eagle sightings or sunset colors. Two-bedroom units fit small families; three-bedroom layouts stretch out for multigenerational crews up to six guests. Pets are welcome in select cabins, because fetch is always better off the dock.

On-Resort Fun

  • Cedar sauna with complimentary private time slots
  • Game room stocked with pool, ping-pong, and “Wabanapoly”
  • Playground, volleyball court, and grassy yards for ladder-golf
  • Pontoon, fishing-boat, and motor rentals for exploring the 2,200-acre lake

Grand Rapids Day Trips

A short drive opens up even more northern Minnesota flavor:

  • Forest History Center – walk a 1900s logging camp and canopy trail
  • Judy Garland Museum – follow the yellow brick road to Oz exhibits
  • Mesabi Trail – paved miles for bikes, skates, and strollers
  • Tioga Recreation Area – fast-flowing single-track for mountain bikes
  • Rapids Brewing Co. & Klockow Brewing – craft pints and live music at night
  • Myles Reif Performing Arts Center – concerts, comedy, and dance all year

Round out the itinerary with a latte from Brewed Awakenings or a scoop from the Old Central School ice-cream shop, then head back to your crackling campfire.

Why Book Direct?

Skip third-party fees and talk straight with the Miner family. They’ll tip you off to secret blueberry patches, the best walleye drift, and which cabin porch catches the longest sunset glow. Rates for three-bedroom units start at $1,295 per week when you reserve through their website. No service fees, no middleman—just lake time at a fair price.

Return to the Lakes: Camp Holiday Welcomes Cabintimers Back to Deerwood, MN.

Return to the Lakes: Camp Holiday Welcomes Cabintimers Back to Deerwood, MN.

For those who have experienced the simple joys of a Minnesota cabin vacation, the pull of the lakes can be strong. It’s Cabin Time® specializes in connecting travelers, or “Cabintimers” as we like to call them, with authentic cabin and cottage experiences across Minnesota and many other states. We understand that sometimes, you find a place that just feels right. That’s why we’re thrilled to welcome back Camp Holiday on Turtle Lake and Round Lake in Deerwood, Minnesota, to our RentMinnesotaCabins.com regional website.

Camp Holiday, located at 27406 Round Lake Rd., offers a true escape in the Mille Lacs Cuyuna Brainerd Lakes Area. This isn’t a corporate resort experience. It’s a place rooted in family history and a genuine love for the Minnesota outdoors. After a brief departure, Camp Holiday is back, and Cabintimers looking for Deerwood MN lake cabins can once again discover its value.

Choosing to book your Camp Holiday cabin directly with the owner, Therese, offers significant advantages. There are no service fees when you book direct. You avoid the middleman, ensuring clear communication and a personal touch. Most importantly, booking directly gives you direct access to Therese’s local expertise. She knows the cabins, the lakes, and the area intimately, and can help you plan the perfect stay.

Camp Holiday presents a variety of lodging options to fit different group sizes and preferences. While the rough copy mentions 12 cabins, a seven-bedroom reunion home, campsites, a secluded seven-bedroom private vacation home, and a private four-bedroom cabin, their initial listings on RentMinnesotaCabins.com will focus on three cabins, giving you a taste of what makes this spot special. All cabins provide essential amenities like full kitchens, bathrooms, charcoal grills, fire pits, picnic tables, HD DirecTV, and WiFi access.

The heart of Camp Holiday’s appeal lies in its access to two distinct lakes: Turtle Lake and Round Lake. Turtle Lake is a clear, spring-fed lake spanning approximately 100 acres with a maximum depth of 32 feet. A scenic channel connects it to the larger Partridge Lake, offering even more waterway to explore. These lakes are known for good fishing, with species like Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Crappie, and Sunfish. It’s a great place for young anglers to experience the excitement of their first catch. Round Lake adds another dimension to the water activities available to guests.

Beyond the comfortable cabins and inviting lakes, Camp Holiday provides a wealth of on-site amenities designed for family fun. Enjoy two swimming areas, complete with a water slide, bongo raft, swim rafts, and a water mat. One beach area offers a sandy spot perfect for all ages. Get out on the water with available rentals including paddleboats, paddle boards, kayaks, hydro bikes, canoes, boat/motors, and pontoons. On the grounds, you’ll find laundry facilities, a dump station, a boat ramp, a fish cleaning house with free freezer service, and a convenience store. Recreational options include playground equipment, horseshoes, a game room, a recreational room with HD DirecTV, a basketball court, a volleyball court, and a sauna. Live bait and tackle are also available, making it easy to hit the water ready to fish.

The history of Camp Holiday is deeply intertwined with the Erickson family. Since 1979, the resort has been family-owned and operated. Paul and Therese purchased the resort from Therese’s parents, Ann and Harvey Erickson, in 2003, continuing a legacy of hospitality. Their personal connection to the property ensures a welcoming and authentic experience for every guest.

While Camp Holiday offers plenty to keep you entertained on-site, the Deerwood area and the broader Brainerd Lakes region provide additional opportunities for exploration. The Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area, just a short drive away, is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Known for its extensive mountain biking trails carved from former mining land, it also offers opportunities for hiking, fishing in clear mine pit lakes, and even scuba diving. For those interested in local history, the Croft Mine Historical Park provides a glimpse into the region’s mining past. Nearby Crosby offers local shops and eateries to explore. The vast Mille Lacs Lake is also within reach, providing even more fishing and boating possibilities, as well as attractions like Father Hennepin State Park and Mille Lacs Kathio State Park, which offer hiking, history, and nature viewing.

Camp Holiday’s return to It’s Cabin Time® on RentMinnesotaCabins.com means Cabintimers can easily find and book their next lake vacation directly with Therese. It’s an opportunity to return to a place where the focus is on enjoying the simple pleasures of lake life, supported by a family dedicated to making your stay memorable. If you’re searching for Deerwood MN lake cabins, consider the authentic experience waiting for you at Camp Holiday.
