Custom Search     Munz Lakes     I worked there in the Summer. I had trash detail and cleaned the restrooms. Not a lot of fun, but as a kid I was able to make some money to pay for gas at 30 cents a gallon. The dance floor was cool, lots of slow dances on the weekends !!! Says Mike Kurth My mother would bring my brothers and myself here for 3 weeks at a time. We would spend time with my mother's cousins. I remember the freedom of running around and doing whatever we kids do. I remember the     jute box and seeing movies outside. The pool seemed so huge. I loved this place. Such great memories... Says Yolanda I stayed at Munz Lake most every summer weekend in the 60s. We had a Shasta trailer and took our bicycle-built-for-two. I remember the giant dance floor and jukebox. The great big pool with an island that had a fountain. The rowboats, the outdoor movies were fun. I remember how they would take a candy on a stick and put it up high so the bees would bother it and not the people below. The Tom's vending machines. The old style mens urinal (crazy). The kid's playground. The soft macadam in the sun. Lots of fun there! Says Charlie H. We stayed at Munz every weekend. Sometimes       for two weeks at a time. I remember that grand old farmhouse, with its huge dance floor, and the basement casino, and washing beer mugs and glasses with Conrad, Eli Munz grandson, and shooting at ferrul cats from Conrad's upstairs   bedroom window, and so much more. There was Joe and Thelma, who helped run the resort, their kids Diane, who I had a secret crush on, Steve and little Joe. All those years of memories are like magic dreams. So much that once was, is now lost... Terry. Says Terry Likens I would love some pictures of it too! Our family camped here in the 50's and 60's. I have such good memories of the place. The pool with the high dive, fishing, catching frogs and hiking around. Says Leslie Ah yes... I remember the big Jukebox. At least it was big as compared to me! I remember listening to the Rolling Stones on it as well as others. Says Pete Yes, I would love to see pics of it. We used to go every year back in the 60's. They had a big jukebox and dance floor, great pool! We had so much fun ! Says Vicki Munz lake was a great place to camp back in the 1060's. My parents use to take us there. Fishing and a nice sized pool on the east end. I think that's all gone now. If anyone out there has pictures, could you please upload to this web site ? I'd sure appreciate it. Says Camper I remember '' Play with fire'' by the stones on that jukebox.I went there in the 60's many times.
