SURPRISE - Extra Halloweekend Added!

Oh, what a month it has been!

If only Halloweekends would soon begin.

Through all the devastation, the flooding is finally receding.

Hmm... What is that we are foreseeing?

An extra special Halloweekend treat?

Ah, yes! Four Halloweekends would make it complete!

Extra Halloweekend Added

Ocean Lakes Family Campground is excited to announce that we have added an additional Halloweekend this year, October 5th - October 6th. Due to the devastation in surrounding areas caused by Hurricane Florence and flooding, we wanted to add a little joy to our guests' stay by making every weekend in October a Halloweekend! 

Schedule of Activities

This additional weekend will have a slightly different schedule than the already set Halloweekend dates. The schedule change is because of the last minute add, supplies not being here just yet, and the number of teammates staffed.

We ask that you pick your pumpkin up between 7 PM and 9 PM Saturday night. No fee.

Remember Family-Friendly
Our guests go all out with their Halloween decorations and costumes – We love that – Just remember that Halloweekends are focused on families. Be creative, keep it clean. Be scary, but not so much that you would make a little one cry.

Safety and Security Policies
Masks and face coverings are only permitted to be worn in Ocean Lakes for the four Halloweekends (on Fridays and Saturdays). They cannot be worn in our businesses (Sandy Mart, RV Center, Golf Cars, Main Office, Ocean Lakes Properties, Sandy Harbor) except during Trick or Treating on Saturdays from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM. They are generally permitted in the Recreation Center, as it is the hub of our Halloweekend events and costume contests.

Operating a vehicle or golf car with a mask or face covering is NOT permitted as it is a safety issue and also hinders Security in identifying underage drivers. Security Teammates will use discretion on a case by case basis as needed throughout Halloweekends regarding masks, coverings, costumes and decorations.

No Outside Characters Allowed
Our Halloweekend activities are only for guests staying at Ocean Lakes and our annual lease site holders.

We hope to see you all this coming weekend celebrating along with us for our very first Halloweekend kick-off! For more information on Halloweekends, check out our previous blog post and our website.
