Love of the Minnesota Lake Resort Life and the Nature Surrounding It
Welcome to the official blog about our Minnesota lake resort, our Carribean Cabin, and all things outdoors! Created by Heather Sams to share stories and tips about her and Brian's experience running Campfire Bay Resort for the last 23 years, it has transformed to share articles about crafts, activities in Central Minnesota, and our love of nature and desire to protect it by a myriad writers in the Sams' family.
With twice-a-month posts, you're sure to find gems on nature, outdoorsy activities, wellness, as well as travel, and our community of friends and family not only in our own little microcosm here on Fish Trap Lake in northern Minnesota, but beyond.
Life at a Minnesota lake resort is different than other types of hospitality businesses, and the stay you'll have is unique. But we will do our best to tell you about it right here. WIth so many stories over so many years, we love to share them with our guests around our central fire pit, right by our lake. For those of you who can't make it to the firepit, though, we invite you to this blog. So grab a blanket, cozy up, and join us on At The Campfire.
