Loaf N Leisure Resort and Campground 453rd Pl, Aitkin

We LOVE Loaf N Leisure!! Farm Island Lake is beautiful, great for all boating activities and fishing. The resort has a great beach area for our kids to play! The resort is clean and well kept. We so enjoy having our camper parked there and each summer season we’re there is better than the last, making memories with our family. The resort has a fun atmosphere and Matt and Tara, the owners are wonderful people.

Kids had a blast - and other guests were kind and respectful. Plenty of room to kick back and relax; or gather by the campfire. Three docks to fish off for the kids and fun water toys to use (paddleboards and lily pads). Would recommend a visit here! Matt, Tara and family were great hosts!

First time visit was Aug 2021. Found them via Airbnb but they’ll have their own booking web site soon. Matt and Tara were nice hosts, and the site was well kept, clean, and stocked with everything we needed except the food we brought, the clothes we packed, and our towels. Our three bedroom cabin was clean and has a great cottage/cabin feel. But there’s WiFi and a smart TV if you’re don’t want to be completely unplugged. Quiet AC cooled the whole cabin. Strong running water that got hot easily. Comfy beds and well-stocked kitchen. The grounds from the road to the lake were well manicured. Plenty of lounge chairs and trees for hammocks. There’s a fire pit, a couple picnic tables, and a charcoal grill. Bonus was a game room garage with darts, air hockey, foosball, and ping pong. We saw loons and woodpeckers and caught fish right off any of the three docks. You can dock your own boat, via public access just down the way. And they had two paddle boards. The common areas were shared by another three-bedroom cabin and residents of the adjacent RV campground. The lake accommodates motor boats, pontoons, kayaks and canoes without feeling cramped. For our last night, we took an easy, short drive to Brainerd for eat-treats and Paul Bunyan Land. All in all, we lacked nothing in our restful yet active, four-day family trip. Well worth the reasonable price for lodging for our two families (5 adults and 2 kids).

Great place to park the camper and enjoy lake life.
