Give Dad the Weekend He Really Wants: Father’s Day Fish & Grill Weekend at The Lakes
By admin May 28, 2026 Another tie? Another mug? Another last-minute gift card?
This year, give Dad something better: a full weekend by the lake, surrounded by the people he loves most.
Father’s Day Fish & Grill Weekend at The Lakes RV & Cabin Resort is happening June 19–21, 2026, and it is designed for the kind of Father’s Day celebration Dad will actually enjoy. Think fishing with the kids, peaceful time on the water, a Southern-style fish fry, pool time, playground fun, cozy RV sites, comfortable glamping cabins, and plenty of room to relax.
Located in Maysville, North Carolina, just a short drive from Jacksonville, New Bern, Emerald Isle, and the Crystal Coast, The Lakes is the perfect place to turn Father’s Day into more than a quick Sunday celebration. It is a chance to slow down, stay awhile, and make memories together by the water.
Start the Weekend with Lake Time
For many dads, the perfect weekend does not need to be complicated. A fishing rod. A quiet lake. The kids nearby. Maybe a little friendly competition and a few good stories by the end of the day.
At The Lakes, fishing is one of the best ways to spend quality time together. Whether Dad is an experienced angler or just wants to help the kids cast a line, the resort’s lakes offer a relaxing setting for families to enjoy the water without rushing from one place to the next.
This is the kind of Father’s Day weekend where the simple moments matter most. Early morning by the lake. Kids asking Dad to bait the hook. Everyone cheering over a catch. A quiet afternoon sitting side-by-side near the water. Those are the memories that last.
Celebrate with a Father’s Day Fish Fry by the Lake
Of course, no Father’s Day Fish & Grill Weekend would be complete without great food.
On Saturday, June 20, 2026, guests can enjoy the Father’s Day Fish Fry by the Lake, featuring golden, hand-breaded catfish and classic fixings in a relaxed lakeside setting. The fish fry is complimentary for registered overnight guests, subject to capacity.
It is the perfect way to gather with family, celebrate Dad, and enjoy a laid-back meal with lake views all around. Come hungry, come early, and settle in for the kind of Southern-style gathering that feels easy, welcoming, and made for summer.
Fun for the Whole Family
While Father’s Day is all about Dad, this weekend is built for the whole family to enjoy.
Kids can get creative with “Best Dad Ever” crafts, giving them a chance to make something heartfelt and personal. Families can join in friendly games, enjoy wagon rides, and wind down with an outdoor movie night under the stars. For families who love a little adventure, Dad-and-kids kayak races bring plenty of laughs, splashes, and friendly competition to the weekend.
The best part? Everyone gets to enjoy the weekend at their own pace. Some guests may spend the day fishing. Others may head to the pool, relax at their site, explore the lakeside areas, or let the kids burn off energy at the playground. Whether your family likes to stay busy or simply soak up the slower pace of lake life, there is something for every age to enjoy.
Stay in a Glamping Cabin or Bring the RV
Father’s Day feels even better when nobody has to rush home.
Make it a full weekend getaway with a stay at The Lakes. Guests can choose from spacious RV sites or comfortable glamping cabins, giving every family a relaxing home base for the weekend. After a day of fishing, swimming, games, and lake time, you can return to your site or cabin, enjoy dinner together, and settle in for a peaceful evening.
For families who want extra comfort, the cabins are a great choice. They offer a cozy place to relax after a full day outdoors while still keeping you close to the lake, the activities, and the resort atmosphere. For RV travelers, the spacious sites make it easy to bring your home on wheels and enjoy the weekend your way.
This is what makes The Lakes such a great Father’s Day destination: you are not just coming for one activity. You are coming for the whole experience.
Amenities for Every Age
Father’s Day Fish & Grill Weekend is even better when the resort itself gives everyone something to look forward to. At The Lakes, families can enjoy pool time, lake views, playground fun, walking areas, outdoor gathering spaces, and peaceful places to relax between activities.
Dad can head to the water. The kids can play. Parents can unwind. Grandparents can enjoy the slower pace. Everyone can find their own favorite part of the weekend while still spending meaningful time together.
From active mornings to relaxed evenings, The Lakes makes it easy to enjoy a getaway that feels fun, comfortable, and memorable for the whole family.
Dad Deserves Lake Time
Father’s Day does not have to be overplanned. In fact, the best gift may be giving Dad permission to slow down.
Let him sleep in a little. Let him cast a line. Let him sit by the water. Let him cheer on the kids, enjoy a plate of fried catfish, and end the evening under the stars.
At The Lakes, Dad can enjoy the kind of weekend that feels both relaxing and memorable. There is enough activity to keep the whole family entertained, but enough open space and lakefront calm to make the weekend feel like a true getaway.
Make It a Weekend, Not Just a Day
A quick Father’s Day lunch is nice. A full weekend away is unforgettable.
When you stay at The Lakes for Father’s Day Fish & Grill Weekend, the celebration lasts longer. You have time to fish together, eat together, swim together, laugh together, and relax together. You have time for the kids to make Dad something special. Time for Dad to enjoy the water. Time for everyone to step out of the usual routine and into a slower, sweeter weekend by the lake.
Instead of asking, “What should we get Dad this year?” ask, “Where can we take Dad this year?”
The answer is The Lakes.
