Our blog for the love of the Minnesota lake resort experience and everything outdoors
Welcome to our blog about our Minnesota lake resort, our Caribbean cabin, and more! We add new posts at least every 2 weeks or so. Here, Heather and Brian Sams, we the owners of Campfire Bay Resort, share stories and tips about our experiences of 22 years of resort ownership, our love of nature and desire to protect it, and outdoors activities. Because we've been around the world, we also write about travel, wellness, and the community of friends and family not only in our own little microcosm here on Fish Trap Lake in northern Minnesota, but beyond.
The Minnesota lake resort cabin is so different from any other type of lodging or vacation destination that it's hard to describe unless you've experienced it. However, we're going to try here in this blog. We've had a variety of life experiences that have been, among other things, entertaining and educational, and we love to share those stories with our guests in the evenings around our central fire pit right on the lake. So if you can't hear about them in person from us at our Minnesota lake resort, we invite you to join us here on our blog, "at the Campfire".
