Fortune Bay Resort RV Park
Overview
Located on the scenic shores of Lake Vermilion in Tower, Minnesota, the Fortune Bay Resort RV Park offers a unique blend of wilderness beauty and modern resort amenities. Operated by the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa, this seasonal park is integrated into a larger resort complex. Travelers can enjoy the tranquility of the Northwoods while remaining just steps away from high-end entertainment, dining, and gaming options, making it a standout destination for those touring Northern Minnesota.
Location & Surroundings
The park is situated in the heart of the Lake Vermilion area, a region celebrated for its jagged shoreline and over 365 islands. Tower, MN, serves as a gateway to the Boundary Waters, surrounding visitors with dense pine forests and pristine blue waters. The RV park specifically benefits from its position at the edge of the lake, offering guests easy access to water recreation and breathtaking sunsets. The atmosphere transitions naturally from the peaceful rustle of the forest to the lively energy of the resort.
Amenities & Park Features
The park provides everything needed for a comfortable stay, including full hookups with 30 and 50-amp power. Guests can also enjoy the following perks provided by the resort:
- Access to the indoor heated pool, whirlpool, and sauna
- On-site laundry and private shower facilities
- Access to the resort marina and boat slips
- Proximity to the casino floor and multiple dining venues
These features allow travelers to enjoy a rugged outdoor experience without sacrificing the luxuries of a modern resort, ensuring convenience for both short-term visitors and long-term guests.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor recreation is the primary draw for this region. Fishing for walleye and northern pike on Lake Vermilion is a popular pastime, and the Wilderness at Fortune Bay golf course is consistently ranked among the best in the state. For a touch of history, the Soudan Underground Mine State Park is located just a few miles away, offering guided tours of Minnesota's oldest and deepest iron mine. Hiking trails wind through the surrounding woods, providing ample opportunities for wildlife viewing and photography.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination is ideal for active retirees and families who want the comforts of a full-service resort while traveling in their RV. It is particularly well-suited for golf enthusiasts looking to play a premier course and anglers who want easy marina access. If you enjoy the balance of a quiet wooded campsite during the day and casino entertainment or fine dining at night, this park will fit your travel style perfectly.

Patti is amazing to say the least. Showed up and the site we were supposed to stay in was way too small for our 42foot camper and boat… we walked up to the office and asked if there’s anything she could do and she went above and beyond and called another camper coming in and got our spots switched. So cool, she didn’t have to do that, she truly wanted to help and made everyone happy. Really well run park with clean sites, a nice dog area and free wood provided for campfires. There’s really nice bathrooms by the office with showers and laundry. You can also go up to the casino for a short walk and play some games or go to the hotel part and swim. They also have a nice marina for boat docking and fishing on lake Vermilion. Highly recommend! Will for sure be coming back!!

Pull through and back in sites. Pull through are very close to each other but plenty of length for big rigs. Water and electric at sites. Dump station. Free firewood and fire pits to check out. Can use all resort facilities including pool.

Rare find in this part of the state. An open RV dump site, unmanned, honor system for payment of $5 dump fee.

Nice campground, easy access to the casino. One odd thing is the camp ground does not have firerings. You have to bring you're own or hopefully there is an extra one from the office.

Don't waste your time here! Slots are TIGHT! RV Park......they don't put any profits back into the park or make any Repairs... Dump site cover still broken loose from 3 years ago. Men's door to shower room still broken ...doesn't work....they tell you try a couple of time's and wiggle it..... No try fixing it for your customers! I would look around for another park to stay at.
