DJ'S Dockside Resort

DJ'S Dockside Resort Four season resort: days on the lake, rides on the trails, and weekends in the snow. It all starts right here. Not your typical Northwoods bar menu.
(314)

This is food people talk about, cocktails people come back for, and a lake place worth finding! We are nestled on the shores of beautiful Lake Nelson, just seven miles from Hayward. Here you will find year 'round recreation at its best. Each cozy lakeside motel unit includes all the amenities (and more) you would expect in a resort cabin. Each unit has a fully furnished kitchen, sleeping accommoda

tions for one to six people, bathroom and private patio. We have a 17 unit motel, 2 cabins, 10 nightly full hook up RV sites, and 3 tent sites. Full liquor bar and restaurant.

Rolling into the weekend like… good food + good drinks = good decisions (or at least delicious ones).

Tonight is Friday Fish Fry 🐟 with your choice of
• Crispy Lake Perch
• Yuengling Beer‑Battered Walleye

Friendly reminder: Fridays are a limited menu — Fish Fry + our smashed burgers only.

And tomorrow… the big debut 👀

🔥 BROASTED CHICKEN 🔥
Made from scratch, fresh every time — brined in‑house, coated in‑house, and fried to perfection. Served with hot & crispy French fries, Texas toast, and succotash.

Limited daily supply since we make it all in‑house, so come early tomorrow if you want the good stuff.

Start your weekend with something worth talking about.
