On a clear day . . . . .
Posted by Young's Crescent Bay on Wednesday, July 30, 2014
Best for: Families with a boat
The Harbor On Crescent Bay features 101 lovely seasonal campsites for families and groups spending their time over at South Long Lake in Minnesota. There are three types of campsites to choose from - the lakefront spots for those who love the water, the wooded sites for peace and privacy, and the lakeview sites that are in the middle. But no matter what type of site you choose, I’m sure you’ll have a peaceful vacation with gorgeous views.
The resort offers wonderful facilities and amenities including an enclosed swim area with water see-saws and waterslides. There is also a basketball court, ping-pong table, and even foosball and shuffleboard tables. There are dock slips and boat launches if you’re bringing a boat with you.
Furthermore, the resort is just a 13-minute drive from the city center, allowing guests to easily access all the fun things to do in Brainerd.
What guests are saying about their RV resort experience:
“…The owners, Josh and Melissa, were extremely helpful when were first looking at the resort. They took a lot of time to answer all of the questions we had with being a first-time seasonal site renter. The resort is extremely clean, the residents are very friendly, and have made our family feel welcome from day one. The owners are constantly working on maintaining the resort, as well investing back into resort improvements and to the amenities for guests. As other reviewers have stated, the beach is amazing and constantly groomed and is where our family spends most of our days. We are only half way though our first year here, and already our kids have participated in sand castle contests, kick ball games, bike parades, boat parades, Nerf wars, bike safety classes and made more crafts than our fridge will hold. If you are looking for a family friendly, safe, clean resort this is the one.” - by Google reviewer, christopher gadacz
