This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

As families gather at the lake, around campfires, and in the great outdoors this weekend, we’re reminded that these freedoms came at a great cost. From all of us here on the Ash River, thank you to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Wishing everyone a safe, peaceful, and meaningful Memorial Day weekend. ❤️🤍💙

There’s just something about the sun finally breaking through on the Ash River. ☀️ It may still be a little brisk out this morning, but the fresh Northwoods air, calm water, and sunshine make it absolutely beautiful.

You don’t always have to venture too far to find the fish… sometimes the best bites are waiting right off the dock! 🎣

They have been biting strong lately here on the Ash River, and guests are reeling them in just steps from their cabin. Morning coffee, a fishing rod, and the peaceful northwoods sunrise — that’s what it's all about. 🌲☀️

Come experience easy fishing, calm waters, and unforgettable evenings at the resort. The fish are waiting! 🐟

Wishing all the anglers heading to the waters of Voyageurs National Park and the beautiful Ash River the very best of luck. Whether you’re chasing walleye at sunrise or just soaking in the Northwoods, there’s nothing quite like this time of year.

Stay safe, respect the water, and enjoy every cast. Here’s to tight lines, full coolers, and great memories made on the water this weekend!

As we head into Fishing Opener weekend at Sunset Resort on the Ash River, I wanted to take a minute to share a few updates. In the short time I’ve owned the resort, I’ve quickly realized this is more than just a campground and cabin resort — it’s a family of people who love fishing, the outdoors, and making memories in Northern Minnesota. Good families communicate, so here are a few updates as we kick off the season:

• We are hoping to have the water turned on today or tomorrow. The cold temperatures have not been cooperating with us this spring, but we’re watching conditions closely and working to get everything ready as quickly as possible.

• Seasonal campers: please make sure your deposits are paid before moving into your site so we can keep things organized.

• Checks for camper and cabin deposits should now be made payable to Campfire Holdings, LLC.

• We are planning to have ice, bait, gas, and a few provisions available in the Trading Post starting this weekend. Payments will be cashless or charged to your account. As a thank you for your support and flexibility during this transition, we will be absorbing all credit card processing fees.

• Beginning in the coming weeks, we’ll start updating cabin exteriors with new aluminum soffits, fascia, and other improvements ahead of exterior painting projects. Please excuse the mess while we work to improve the experience and preserve the resort for years to come.

Thank you again for all the support, patience, and encouragement during this transition. I’m excited to meet many of you this summer, hear your Sunset Resort stories, and continue building something special together on the Ash River near Voyageurs National Park.

We’ve got some great news to kick things off — the waters to Kabetogama Lake and beyond are open, and it’s shaping up to be an excellent fishing weekend for opener. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back to the water!

I also want to take a moment to wish John fair winds and following seas after an incredible 18-year run as the owner of Sunset Resort. His dedication built something truly special here on the Ash River, and I’m honored to carry that legacy forward.

For those I haven’t met yet, my name is Shawn, and I’m excited to introduce myself as the new owner of Sunset Resort. I’m a lifelong Minnesotan with a deep love for the outdoors, shaped by summers spent camping up north with my family. I’m an Eagle Scout and a proud veteran of the war in Afghanistan.

Over the past decade, I’ve been fortunate to build my career in hospitality, including owning the Campfire Adventure Ranch near Guadalupe Mountains National Park in Dell City, Texas. I’m also a licensed real estate broker and owner of Ferndale Realty.

While I’ll be at the resort part-time, you’ll be in great hands with our full-time manager, James Jones, who brings strong wilderness hospitality experience, along with a small but fantastic team dedicated to making your stay memorable.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out at [email protected]
or send me a message here.

I’m truly looking forward to hearing your Sunset stories and meeting each of you this season.

Shawn
