What The Lake Gregory Community Recreation Company *official* does

The Lake Gregory Community Recreation Company LLC is the exclusive concessionaire for San Bernardino County at Lake Gregory Regional Park in Crestline, California, operating since 2021. The company manages an 84-acre lake, 2.3 miles of hiking trails, and associated recreational facilities, serving a regional tourism catchment anchored by a population of approximately 11,000 local residents and more than 100,000 annual visitors from the broader Southern California area. The general manager is Nathan Godwin.

Revenue is generated across multiple consumer-facing lines: day passes priced at $17 (weekday) and $32 (weekend/holiday), tiered annual memberships at $189, $259, and $329, plus boat launches, equipment and watercraft rentals, fishing and parking fees, lifeguard training, and event usage including weddings. A newer commercial vertical packages the park's scenic assets as a filming location through a partnership with MTNLocations. The operating model is seasonal, with the primary trip-planning window running from Memorial Day through Labor Day.

The technology stack is composed of third-party SaaS tools rather than proprietary systems: FareHarbor for booking, Amilia for membership management, ParkMobile for parking, and Wix for the website. Active development projects include Camp Switzerland (glamping and cabins) and Project Playground, and a $300,000 Phase 1 replacement of the non-motorized boat launching facility is in progress. The company holds no disclosed external funding and operates as a private LLC.
