What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“One of our favorites! The owners are amazing and everything is just perfect. We use the campground.”
“Nice campground. You can rent pontoons, kayaks, and other water toys. Nice store with some food, beverages, souvenirs, camping supplies, etc. They have bathrooms with showers. There are also cabins you can rent. People staying at the campground seem nice and respectful. Doesn't get too loud.”
“We always have fun at Camp Holiday. We go at least once a season. The spots are great for all different units, great lake views, nice playground, and beach”
“We stayed with our 3 small children and had a great time. This is a gem of a location, quieter and better for kids to have fun than being on Mille Lacs. Bathrooms and accommodations were nice and the other campers are very friendly.”
“We just got back from an unforgettable weekend at Camp Holiday Resort on Turtle Lake, and it was absolutely perfect! We stayed in one of the campsites with our Ice Castle, and the setup couldn’t have been better—spacious, clean, and right by the beautiful lake. The highlight of our trip was renting a pontoon and spending the entire day out on the water fishing. Turtle Lake is gorgeous and so peaceful—we caught fish, soaked up the sunshine, and made some amazing memories. The resort is very well kept, with friendly staff who made everything easy from start to finish. You can tell they really care about making sure guests have the best experience possible. Between the great campsite, the pontoon rental, and the unbeatable lake views, we couldn’t have asked for a better weekend. We’re already looking forward to coming back again soon!”
“One of my favorite places to go for the weekend. Nothing is ever perfect but Camp Holiday set their sights on something simple and nice and they got pretty darn close.”
“Reunion cabin 14 is wonderful. So many gathering spaces, rooms, beds, fridges, tables. Large fire pit. Privacy. Highly recommend.”
“Very nice campground with spacious sites. Playground and amenities for kids. Quiet hours were quiet which is nice. We were welcomed and had good service from owners/employees. We didn’t use the bathhouse so we cannot comment on them. Prices were fair. Two dump stations available. Cabins from the outside look really nice. We’ll visit again.”
