Reviews & Reputation

Review Highlights

Guests overwhelmingly rate Caesar's North Camps highly, with most reviews at 5 stars and a few at 4. Many are repeat customers, and some mention coming back for years or visiting 7-8 times in a decade. One reviewer who has taken many fly-in trips with various outfitters puts it at the top of their list. Owners Olivier (also spelled Oliver) and John are mentioned by name for being welcoming, helpful, and attentive. Reviews cover several lakes, including Super, Bob, Larouche, Little Benny, and Little Gouin.

Guests most often praise the fishing. Reports include walleye counts of 300-400+ for a group in a week, one group total of 2,231 fish, and plenty of pike in the 30-40" range. Several people landed pike over 40", including a 47" fish of 25+ pounds and a 48" fish of 32 lbs. Walleye over 20" and one of 32" were also reported. One reviewer credited Olivier's spoons tipped with crawlers, and a forum poster recommended worms or leeches on a jig for walleye. Cabins are described as clean, well maintained, and functional, with hot showers, refrigerators, firewood, gas, and a newly added section of the main cabin that guests liked. Boats and motors are called great. Several reviews also mention successful bear and moose hunts, with well-prepared tree stands and towers. One guest said their grandson called it the greatest vacation he'd ever had.

Complaints are few. Weather is the main caveat: cold fronts, rain, and cold spring conditions slowed the fishing in a few trips. Mid-May was cold, with a frozen reservoir and snow. One reviewer called their cabin older but adequate, and another suggested bringing a boat seat for back support. One guest also mentioned a long drive to reach the departure point. The camp suits groups of friends, repeat-trip groups, and families or multi-generational trips. It is a good fit for anglers who want numbers of walleye and pike plus a chance at trophy pike, and for hunters looking for a bear or moose hunt. Reviewers who had been on other fly-in trips also found it a good fit.
