As our 84^th season begins we remind ourselves how very grateful we are for our Grandparents, Al & Emilie, and our Parents, Yvonne & Del, whose vision, sacrifice, and hard work made Fish Lake Beach our family business, and something very special to many.   

Now Randy and YC (3^rd generation) have come to the time in their lives where they would like more leisure & family time. This has been in the works for the past four years and has been successful in large part because of the FLB staff and family members that have stepped up to the many challenges a privately owned campground faces. In 2022, we decided to promote two key individuals to take over the majority of Randy and YC's roles. As a family, we knew the timing, knowledge, and experience were ideal to put Martin Zavala to oversee grounds, maintenance, and facilities and Susan Tiesi to oversee operations.

 Martin Zavala has been employed by FLB for 18 years.   He worked primarily at trailer sales, servicing and setting up park models for many years, and then 4 years ago began shadowing Tony and Randy.  His calm and professional demeanor, ability to manage multiple projects, and efficiently work with others made him the right choice to become the Manager of Facilities, Maintenance, and Grounds.  

Susan Tiesi has been employed by FLB since 2012. During her tenure, she has been a key contributor to a wide range of initiatives that have improved how we run the campground and served our customers. Her career in management, strategy, customer service, communications, and technology spans multiple industries. In 2022, Susan began taking on more responsibilities overseeing the entire campground. This year we welcome her as the Director of Campground Operations.  

As a family-owned business, we will always play a part in how it is run. We’re committed to making ourselves available to Susan and Martin as needed and appreciate their dedication to Fish Lake Beach. 

Our family appreciates them both and feels that we are truly blessed to have them with us.

As you can see there is something going on in the Z section and the mini-golf area. 

We are always planning and dreaming! New fencing is being installed, and the trees are getting trimmed or removed to clean and prepare for the installation of cabins or trailers for rent. The tepee which stood as a Fish Lake Beach landmark, has deteriorated and no longer can be used. Our plan is to scale back the mini-golf course and plant grass in the surrounding area. "Pardon our Dust" during this work in progress.
