Our family's been coming here for the past 20 years and we've loved every single day we've been there. I can't say enough good things about Sleeping Fawn
It was excellent on soooo many levels, our family has been to Sleeping Fawn, on and off for about 40 years. I guess we saved our best camping days for last. Joe and Ellen are crazy wonderful people, hot coffee, nice kayaks, CLEAN showers, private tenting area. Fish in the lake, owls and deer, all around the lake. Large birds sure to seen. Back up staff is also incredible the place is very outdoorsy, but, kept impeccably clean! Thank you to all sleeping fawn staff. Especially for the Sunday morning, freshly fried sprinkled donuts! You guys are soooo dang cool! And thanks for the reasonably priced store and wood!!
Wonderful resort. It’s cheap but has plenty of free amenities like kayaks, playground, fish cleaning station, board games, and much more. It has two tent sites and the rest are hookups. The mother and son who run it are absolutely wonderful and keep up good relations with their guests. I highly recommend this resort.
PS: It’s very well kept and the bathrooms are the best I’ve seen at any kind of campsite.
I’ve stayed here yearly for 9 years now. This is an excellent resort, far better than a few in the area I’ve stayed at. The beach has all sorts of equipment, like kayaks, stand up paddle boards, life jackets, etc. The cabins are well-outfitted too. The general store has ice cream and pizza! We’ll continue to visit yearly.
We couldn’t be happier with our experience. The gentlemen running the resort (I feel terrible I forgot his name!) went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. The amenities and small touches around the resort, as well as the obvious care taken in maintenance and design, communicates clearly the passion for hospitality behind this family run resort. Some of our favorites touches:
Sunday morning donuts were delicious!
The free use of paddle boards, cables, pedal boats made for such a great time fishing and playing in the water!
Beach umbrellas! What an unexpected blessing. We could sit right on the beach and watch our kids swim without battling the high summer sun.
The gathering room, located near the bathrooms/showers, stocked with board games was an excellent addition for early mornings! We could allow a few in our group to sleep in while we hung out and enjoyed some coffee and a board game.
Shuffle board, ping pong, ax throwing, connect four. We utilized ALL of them during our two night stay and our three kids couldn’t have been happier.
We are a family who loves to travel and visit various campgrounds and resorts. Without a doubt, this has been our best experience! We will schedule our visit and go out of our way to stay at Sleeping Fawn during our next trip to the Park Rapids area.
