Our Story

Welcome to Fish Lake Beach

More Than an RV Park. A Destination.

Welcome to Fish Lake Beach. We're so glad you're here!

This place has been in our family since 1939, when Grandpa Al — a fisherman who loved Fish Lake — bought a rundown fishing camp on 40 acres without telling Grandma Emilie first. When she found out, let's just say he had some explaining to do. What started as a chicken coop bathroom and a house without electricity or running water has grown, over 85 years and four generations, into the resort you're looking at today.

This campground has always been more than a business to us. It's been passed down with intention, improved with love, and run by people who genuinely care about the experience you have here. On any given day, the fifth generation can be spotted swimming in the lake and riding bikes through the campground, just like every generation before them.

Nearly 600 seasonal families call Fish Lake Beach their summer home. Some come on weekends, some stay the whole season, and all of them leave with memories they carry for years. We're proud of what our family has built here, and we're grateful for every guest who has been a part of it. We hope to see you this season.

I have not yet camped here but i am jumping on to thank Fish Lake Beach! I was supposed to camp this weekend but due to the air quality and my medical condition I needed to switch my weekend. It was short notice and they were completely accommodating. Very thankful for the help and willingness to work with me so I can still enjoy visiting them later in the summer!

We love to brag about our summer stays at Fish Lake Beach Camping Resort. It's all about the friendly staff, the amenities and the feeling of a home away from home. We've stayed here in a camper both weekends, weekly and monthly. Now we own a park model here. My parents stayed here and my son did too. There's so many great reasons to keep coming back. We hope our recommendation helps you decide to visit see for yourself!

Debbie and Sherry have been amazing to work with. We are going to be living at Fish Lake Beach this summer during a home transition and they’ve been incredibly proactive and professional. We cannot wait for our experience to stay over the summer.
