Camp Narrows Lodge, Rainy Lake fishing - Fort Frances, Ontario

A Fishing Resort That Keeps Getting Better

This is, hands down, the nicest fishing resort I’ve ever visited, perched on arguably the best multi-species lake in the world (outside of maybe the Great Lakes). But let me be clear: if you’re looking for a luxury resort with fishing, look elsewhere. This place is all about the fishing.

They offer everything you need for a fantastic week on the water: comfortable beds, a hot shower, a flush toilet, and a full kitchen in each cabin. Honestly, I don’t know what more you’d want on a real fishing trip. If something needs fixing, just ask; Tom or one of his staff will take care of it quickly and without fuss.

I’ve been coming here for years, and every visit has been nothing short of excellent. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely accommodating. The rental boats run great, and if there’s ever an issue, they’ll swap it out without hesitation.

Tom’s commitment to this camp is obvious. Over the years, he’s added new cabins, walkways, floating docks, fish-cleaning houses, and countless other upgrades. Every time I come back, something new has been improved.

This year, I brought my wife for the first time — and she had a blast. Between the incredible fishing and the sheer natural beauty of the lake, it was an unforgettable and incredibly relaxing stay.

BE AWARE: Camp narrows lodge advertises that they offer the "American Plan" that includes food services. This is NOT the case. Be prepared to bring all of your own food, bottled water, and anything else as they do not offer it. Everything is holding on by a string. Boat rentals were basic and depth finders barely worked. The cabin we stayed in didn't have a working oven, or coffee maker.

Amazing location for multi species fishing on Rainy Lake, easy access from International Falls or Baudette MN! Tom and his staff are amazing, your stay will be second to none.

Fishing is great. Cabins have all of the necessities. Tom is very accommodating. You can’t get this experience many other places.

Always a great time at Camp Narrows! Tom and his knowledgeable staff are both helpful and laid back. If you're expecting daily maid service and a mint on your pillow, you should look elsewhere. But, if you want a clean, comfortable cabin right on the water with a dock up to your door, then this might be the place for you. Good fishing and the natural beauty of "sunset country" Ontario. Consider buying a conservation license, and please observe slot sizes and catch limits. Rainy Lake is an outstanding fishery that needs responsible anglers to help preserve it for future generations.

Always a great trip, can’t wait to return to Camp Narrows next June!!

Camp Narrows offers such variety for hunting and fishing opportunities due to the isolated nature of the camp. We have hunted bear, ducks and grouse and have been successful every time. The abundance of smelt make all of the fish heavier per length than any location I have fished in Ontario, Wisconsin or Minnesota. This is the only place that you have the opportunity to catch 28” walleye, 38” pike, 20” smallmouth and 15” crappie on the same day. Tom makes the camp feel more like a family reunion rather than a fish camp and it is only 40 minutes from the border. Add to that a very reasonable rate and good cabins with new renovations and you have the perfect destination.
