About

The Community Association of Prospect Point (C.A.P.P.) is a private, not-for-profit organization. Membership is required to access the beach and most social activities. Our purpose is to make life in the Prospect Point area of Lake Hopatcong more fun and enjoyable for all of our member families. Our private non-profit beach provides swimming and year-round social activities. Our Snack Shack offers hotdogs, hamburgers, French fries, ice cream, soft drinks, and other snacks.

Many of us have wonderful childhood memories of days spent at the beach. We want our children to grow up remembering great times at one of the most beautiful beaches in Lake Hopatcong.

We are a volunteer-run non-profit. After paying fixed yearly expenses, proceeds from membership dues and the Snack Shack fund equipment, property improvements, and events that keep the beach enjoyable for everyone.
