Fishing Derby FUN!
Thank you to everyone that came and participated in the Kids Fishing Derby on Saturday July 17th. There was an amazing turnout! Special thanks to our derby host, "Florida Charlie" and his lovely wife, Sandy, who helped the event run smoothly. We appreciate you!
Super Sites
Congratulations to the June Super Site Winners, Hill 1 and F17. Nice work! Every season, Fish Lake Beach recognizes 2 exceptional sites in June, July, and August. Super Site owners are awarded a custom plaque and $100 check. Families have told us they enjoy the friendly competition to earn the Super Site award, and each section of the campground benefits from the beautification and clean up efforts. This tradition began in 1982 when Mr. and Mrs. Calafiore on Site W-7 suggested it to Mom, Yvonne. Here is what our independent judges look for:
- Improvements to the exterior of the site, structure only.
- A clean deck, patio, parking area.
- Deck power washed and stained.
- Shed painted, doors intact, roof clean.
- A trailer that is clean, power washed, no green mold growing.
- A site that has its grass cut and weeds cut and minimized.
- A site that is overall, visually pleasing, using a combination of live plants and/or live flowers and decorative elements.
- Cleanliness: absence of debris, organized (including behind trailer).
- Driveway, if gravel, free of weeds and grasses.

Keep FLB Beautiful
Thank you to everyone that helps keeps their site and section of the park tidy! We appreciate our seasonals that are keeping their grass & weeds cut and that are contacting the office to arrange for large items to be hauled away. It really makes a difference. As a reminder, electronics can be disposed of free at the recycling center located at Grant Township 26535 Molidor Road, Ingleside. Monday – Friday, 7:00 am-3:00 pm.
REMINDER Motorized Personal Vehicles
We sent an email on April 26th with an updated policy about Motorized Personal Vehicles because it was brought to our attention that some exceptions should be considered. Since then we've recieved a number of complaints about children riding motorized (bikes, hoverboards, scooters, etc.) recklessly, endangering people and property.
To reiterate; the ONLY exceptions to motorized personal vehicle use are for the types and individuals listed below. If your child is caught using any motorized vehicles our security staff will be calling you and escorting your child back to their site. This is for the safety of everyone at the park:
-
Personal mobility devices used by persons with disabilities
-
Ride-on motorized vehicles (miniature Barbie cars or Jeeps) used by small children with parent supervision-away from high traffic areas
-
Motorized bicycles or scooters with seats, used by persons with drivers licenses
