Crystal Lester

Crescent Fish Camp

Born and raised a city girl, I have recently embraced a new chapter of my life as I transition to the peacefulness of lake living, I’ve mastered the art of loving plants, even if they don’t always reciprocate the sentiment. As a newbie to the camp life by the lake, I’m like a fish out of water—figuratively, of course – Balancing the art of managing a lake campground and performing back-breaking manual labor is like juggling flaming marshmallows—it requires finesse, resilience, and a high tolerance for hilarity. So, prepare for an adventure filled with laughter, quirky anecdotes, and the occasional well-intentioned chaos, as we navigate the campgrounds together!
