We are also pleased to welcome three new RV resorts in Texas as the newest additions to our Coast Good Neighbor Park (GNP) network. Bentsen Palm Village RV Resort and Bluebonnet RV Resort, both in Mission, Texas, and Fig Tree RV Resort in Harlingen, Texas, are the newest affiliates in our GNP network. See page 6 for more information on these three new GNPs, or visit our online directory. Travel this year has been challenging with the ever- changing state and local orders to limit the spread of the Covid-19 virus. Coast has been keeping you informed by providing a list of temporary resort closures that we have updated on a regular basis. To access this list simply log in at www.CoastResorts.com and click on the link in the special Covid-19 message at the top of the page. Be aware that, even if a resort or GNP is open, many amenities may remain closed at our affiliates to help prevent the spread of the virus. The best advice is to always call ahead to the resort or GNP where you have a reservation to confirm the latest situation.
Coast to Coast is excited to announce a new Coast Deluxe resort in Minnesota. Ham Lake Resort, the newest resort in the Midwest Outdoor Resorts system, is conveniently located just 30 minutes due north of Minneapolis/St. Paul. The Ham Lake area is a quiet, secluded vacation spot perfect for a quick weekend getaway or an extended relaxing stay. This Deluxe resort also offers plenty of terrific amenities to keep you busy throughout your stay. Ham Lake Resort is located right on the lake, and canoe rentals are available for a spin around the pond. There is also a sandy swimming beach, which makes for plenty of lake time fun for you and the entire family. Other resort amenities include a community fire pit, dog run, fishing dock, covered pavilion, petting zoo, and more. So why the name you might ask? According to Wikipedia, records indicate that in 1856 settlers established a town located just southwest of a lake shaped like a ham. The settlers platted and sold lots for a community they named Glen Carey, a Scottish name meaning "beautiful valley". However, in 1857, all the houses were destroyed by a prairie fire. The next settlement in the area was by Scandinavians in 1866. Reportedly the Scandinavian settlers found it difficult to pronounce the Scottish name of Glen Carey. Since no official name had been chosen by the people, the commissioners named it Ham Lake, after the lake which had acquired that name due to its shape.
