Curious what other folks do for accommodations while overnighting while out fishing. Tenting, sleeping in the car, camper, fishing lodges, or private rentals? Getting older, the tenting appeal is very low for me, but many decent fishing spots are quite the drive that it is a long day to get there, fish, and drive back home. Did the slide in camper on the truck, found that to be a pain to load/unload, stayed at a couple drive to lodges which was nice, and my back hurts just thinking of tents. What do other folks do? Parklands, Whiteshell areas?

When in the Parklands area (Duck Mountain), I like to stay at the Harvest Moon Inn harvestmoonroblin.com at 1-204-937-3700. You get a nice room, and continental breakfast. Rooms are spacious and they have a nice big parking lot. I don't bother with any other place in the area.

I've done them all. Hotel, tenting, napping in the car, camper...
When in the Parklands I usually just book into a hotel. I've stayed at the major three in the area (Harvest Moon, Stay Easy and Russell Inn), HM is my favorite by far, the reasons stated above. However, last spring when I went up for my 5 day Parkland trip I decided to overnight in the vehicle. I can't honestly say that it was the most comfortable choice but waking up to the rising sun on a trophy class trout lake and watching the fish stir just meters away from your vehicle sure did make up for it, and the fact that I didn't have to drive every morning to get to my choice lake of the day. I endured it, and I'll probably do it again this spring. Gee, now I can't wait...

Dedicated fisher for sure if you put in that kind of time. Will definitely stop by if I am that way.

I live in Roblin so seldom have to consider lodging. When on an extended outing, 24 Ft RV. Nothing matches your own bed and some room to relax after fishing or during bad weather.

I hear ya. I have a 34ft sailboat on lake of the woods that has similar accommodations(boats have less space being pinched at the ends). A bathroom(head), comfy berth for the night, stocked galley, icebox, and a fireplace, anchored out in a bay on the lake for the weekend. As much as I hear about fishing the little lakes in the parklands for trout, the idea of staying the weekend in a tent or the back of the truck just doesn't win over going back to the boat on LOW(acronyms, ack). Not a huge fan of the bass or walleye fishing, but it sure is convenient and comfortable. Lake trout are shallow early in the season, that's about it for fly fishing for trout there. Aside form that I have pursued whitefish hit and miss through the warmer months.

My Parklands trips have generally been camping oriented which I find is the most relaxing way to go. Ideally, the lakeside site is the best as you can easily take a coffee or lunch break during a fishing day without putting up the rods, trailering a boat, etc. Makes for a very relaxing trip. On solo trips, I usually just sleep in the back of my truck. If I've got a buddy, one of us usually sets up a small tent.
While on the topic of camping, here's a question for those in the know: where can a camping angler go for a shower? The only one I've found is the truck stop in Roblin. The g*lf course outside of Rossburn has one too, but it was ice cold last spring. Any other options? I'm willing to pay a reasonable fee.

I believe both Childs Lake and Blue Lakes lodges have pay showers. Wellman campground has super facility and I wouldn't be surprised if one could sort of sneak a shower without any difficulty!!!!
