Cabins & Rates

Our housekeeping cabins are a perfect vacation base for two to ten guests. Kitchens have sweet, cold well water, a small gas cookstove, refrigerator, dishes, and utensils. We provide aged birch, pine, and poplar for the wood stove. Double and single beds are furnished with fresh linens. Natural woods between the cabins provide privacy. There are central rest rooms, shower and sauna, and privies on the outskirts. Extra single beds are available for rent. Bring kitchen and bath towels, flashlights, and -- if you wish -- a radio, electric fry pan, and laptop; WiFi is available in a central location.

Cabin accommodations are available from mid-May through September. During July and August, we reserve by the week, Saturday to Saturday. Spring and fall rates at a 20 percent discount are offered in May, June, and September. These are the perfect times to plan a family reunion, to enjoy the May flowers or autumn leaves, or to try out a cabin that is always occupied mid-summer. You may reserve a cabin for less than a week (two-night minimum) in these months.

Groups at CampVan Vac

LgGroup.jpgYou might plan a family gathering, with multiple cabins housing young and old and branches of the clan. Or you can join friends for scuba diving, quilting, or music--like the folks shown above and described in a July 2006 StarTribune article. Camp Van Vac is a natural place for a gather-in with all the joys of northern lake country living.

Spring and fall cabin rates are discounted 20%, and the weather is moderate, the fishing is fine, and the bugs are elsewhere. Spring and fall are the best times to schedule a new group.

The Yurt

The yurt is Camp's recreation cabin, a comfortable meeting place and a spot to do a jigsaw puzzle, play a board game or to curl up with a book.

Our crew , volunteers, and yurt expert Bob Champa and his crew put this baby together. Bill calls it yurt-tastic. Anna, who made a yurt model when studying Mongolia in grade school, says they are known there as "gers." After which, Bill added that our yurt is gurrrrrrreat.
