Ocean Lakes Plunging Into 2019


On December 31, 2018, 575 guests took the plunge and became an Ocean Lakes Polar Bear! For the past 18 years, "happy campers" have joined at Ocean Lakes for our Winter tradition of participating in the Polar Bear Plunge. This year, the temperature was around 62 degrees and the water temperature was in the mid 50's.

Pre-Plunge Party | The 18th Annual Polar Bear Plunge kicked off at 1:30 PM on the beach by the Observation Deck. Guests were able to get pumped up with music and snap a photo with our polar bear mascot.


“We’re Freezin’ For A Reason” | The Plunge takes place December 31st every year - What a way to end the year! You can join this exclusive club by taking a dip in the Atlantic. It all began with three brave souls, and the numbers increase annually as brave guests take the plunge. From young to old, they always have a great time!

Participants are asked to bring two non-perishable canned items to help our friends at South Strand Helping Hand, which provides support and resources to the needy in our community.
Become An Ocean Lakes Polar Bear | There is a $7 yearly membership fee that includes entry into the Polar Bear Plunge, a T-shirt naming participant a “Polar Bear,” and bragging rights. This event is open only to guests staying at Ocean Lakes Family Campground.

Thank You, Next | Guests and teammates had a blast, and we cannot wait for The 19th Annual Polar Bear Plunge! Thank you to all who participated and donated to South Strand Helping Hand. See you all in 2019!

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
