Welcome Seasonal Campers!
We are happy to be welcoming you back to Fish Lake Beach for our families’ 83rd season in business.
Pre-Season Opening for Clean Up
Every spring seasonal campers wish to check on their trailers prior to the official opening in April. However, we do not allow it due to the potential risk of damage to our roads and property caused by driving in the campground when there is mud, ice, snow or wet grounds.
We'll be opening for the following two weekends to begin spring clean-up: April 2nd and 3rd as well as April 9th and 10th from 9am-3pm.
On weekdays starting April 11th, we'll be open 9am-3pm to allow seasonal campers to continue cleaning up their site or go to our store by the beach. Please arrive with your keycard since they'll be needed to open the inside gate.
The bathrooms will be closed, the water will be off, however, electric service will be available. As always, campfires and overnight stays are prohibited until water is on.
Garbage and Yard Waste
Please bag your leaves and yard waste and leave them at the edge of your site or by a dumpster. Never mix leaves, grass or yard waste with trash or put any of it in dumpsters; our waste disposal company will not pick up a dumpster that contains any yard waste. Two recycling dumpsters are located near the pavilion. Do not put anything that isn't aluminum cans, paper, cardboard, plastic bottles, and please break down boxes.
Large Item Disposal
Please call or go to the store to put in a work order for the item(s) to be picked up from your site. Large item disposal is not included in your license fees. There is a fee for us to pick up chairs, tables, grills, mattresses, carpeting, construction waste, cabinets, couches, etc. and the fee depends on the size of the item or item(s).
Water
If the weather permits, our water will be on Friday, April 15th and if the water is on, overnight stays will be allowed. If the weather does NOT permit us to turn the water on, overnight stays are prohibited and we'll shoot for turning it on Friday, April 22nd. Turning on the water is a week long process and takes coordination with our well company. All the wells and water lines are chlorinated for a time period, flushed, and then samples are taken for the IDPH.
Vehicle Passes
Seasonal campers that have completed the registration process can expect to get an email with this message with “your passes are ready!”. Those emails start to get sent out after April 8th, IF you are completely registered. Given the volume of seasonal campers that need to be registered it can take up to 7 business days to process your registration from start to finish so please do not wait until the last minute.
Have a very Happy Easter!
Please note: that we will be closed Sunday, April 17th.
We are very proud of the business our grandparents, great-grandparents, and great-great grandparents began in 1939 and recognize that it couldn’t be possible without you, and we thank you for your support!🥰
Thank You
