Camping With Your Four-Legged Friends


Pets are one of the big reasons that people camp and we consider them part of the family at Ocean Lakes. This week, we are talking our pet celebration days, campground pet policies, the beach laws for pets, and sharing a few of our favorite four-legged pictures!

Let's get started!

























Annual Pet Celebration Days

Ocean Lakes feels pets deserve their special days, too! Join us on July 4th for the Annual Patriotic Pet Parade or during our three Halloweekends for the Pet Costume Contest!


























Campground Pet Policies

Ocean Lakes is happy to have your entire family, including your pets! Pets (excluding Rottweilers, Pitt Bulls and exotic animals) are allowed at all campsites. Pets are not permitted in our rental sites – Sorry! We try to keep our policies simple and only modify them when necessary. Pet policies while you are at the campground:

·      Sorry, pets are NOT permitted in Ocean Lakes Properties’ rental units, but we do welcome pets at our campsites!
·      Do not leave your pet unattended at your campsite.
·      Dogs MUST be on a leash at all times.
·      Leashes must not exceed 6 feet in length.
·      You MUST clean up after your pets.
·      CAUTION – Secure pets on golf cars.
·      No Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, or any other dangerous or exotic pets allowed.
·      No loud barking or unruly behavior tolerated.
·      There is a $100 fine for guests who do not clean up after their pets. 


Pet Beach Laws

Ocean Lakes has nearly one mile of oceanfront in Horry County limits featuring 18 marked beach accesses.

·      Please be aware that in Horry County, pets are not allowed on the beach from 10 AM – 5 PM, May 1 – Labor Day. (This includes the beach in front of Ocean Lakes and part of Lakewood.)
·      Surfside Beach does not allow pets on the beach at any time May 15 – September 15. Be aware that Surfside will fine dog owners $500 per dog during this time. (Surfside Beach begins at the South end of Ocean Lakes’ beach front at the Holiday Inn and the city limits end at Melody Lane.)
·      Pets must be on a 6-foot leash at all times on the beach, in control, and pet waste picked up.

























Fines and Contest Entrance Fees

Rest assured that this is not a source of revenue for Ocean Lakes. Every penny will be donated to our favorite animal charity. Our team relies on local pet care charities to help take care of injured animals found in our park, such as swans and ducks. 

Teammates and Fur-Babies

Teammates love seeing guests with their pets in the campground! And, occasionally, you may even see a teammate stop in to bring their fur-baby for a visit. Pictured below is a Security Teammate, Kenneth, with his puppy, Duke. Also pictured below is a Marketing Teammate, Mallory, with her puppy, Milo. Milo may look familiar from being featured on Minute With Mallory – They covered the topic of lost pets in the campground.

























Until Next Time

We look forward to seeing you and your pets in the campground! Remember to always tag us or share with us pictures of your four-legged friends when visiting Ocean Lakes.

Have a pawsitively furbulous day! (See what we did there?!)

Introducing The NEW Campsite Wi-Fi Tiered Program

Listen up, Ocean Lakes Campers, we hear you! We know that sometimes the Wi-Fi speed in the campground can be a little frustrating. We listened to you, we heard you, and we are making some big changes that we hope makes Campsite Wi-Fi better. How? We are rolling out a NEW Wi-Fi Tiered Program on Monday, April 8 th . Yes, we will still have FREE Wi-Fi! But we will offer some upgrade options tailored to meet camping guests’ data speed needs (what a tongue twister!). Now with campsite guests logging into the Wi-Fi system, we have locked down the system saving the Wi-Fi access points and data speed. We need to make one thing crystal clear: This new system helps data speed - Signal reception may still be a challenge for some campers/RV units.  So, here’s the scoop on Tiered Wi-Fi and the “how to” for when you arrive on your campsite. Free Wi-Fi For All Guests | Rest assured, we will still offer FREE Wi-Fi for ALL guests. Visit the Wireless Zones loc

Over the years, golf cars have become the main source of transportation around the campground. They are fun, simple, and convenient, so naturally, they are popular.
