The Story Behind Our Newest Addition


Last week, Ocean Lakes debuted their newest addition to the beachfront, which is a special photo opportunity for all guests when visiting their home away from home.


Our Newest Addition To The Beachfront!

 In this week’s blog, we are giving you the inside scoop on how this special project came to be!

The Birth of an Idea | In November of 2019, the Marketing Team traveled to Knoxville, Tennessee to attend ARVC, which is the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds. While attending sessions, the team came across “KNOX” inside the convention center. The letters were made of wood and made quite the statement piece in which all passersby excitedly stood in front for their picture.

Instantly, the Marketing Team looked at each other as if one big lightbulb had lit up above their heads. They knew that Ocean Lakes needed their own letter photo op on the beachfront!

Meet The Marketing Team!

 Pictures were taken, calls were made, and brainstorming began! The Maintenance Team played a big role in bringing this vision to life. They love creatively bringing unique pieces to life for guests and teammates alike. 

Start To Finish | The project blossomed from an idea to being constructed and installed within 30 days! What can we say – We do have an awesome team!

Caution | Please remember, we do ask that no one climb on the letters for safety purposes. 

Strike A Pose - Just No Climbing!

iCare | Our team is committed to our iCare Program, and felt it was only right to construct this project from recycled material. A total of 20 weathered and unrepairable campsite picnic tables were used!

Recycled Picnic Tables.

Fun Fact | The overall display is 25 feet wide with each letter being over 6 feet tall. The letters range from 200 to 450 plus pounds each, with the “O” being the heaviest.

Made With Love | The most important fact – Why did we do this? That is simple! Because we love Ocean Lakes as much as our guests, and we love seeing all of the fun family pictures!


We LOVE Our Guests!

 Until Next Time | Do you love OL? Be sure to snap a picture in front of our newest addition to the beachfront, and use “#OceanLakes” in your caption!

We can't wait for everyone to see the improvements made this year! Keep reading to catch a sneak peek at what our Maintenance Team has been up to!

The new bathhouse opened the second week of February.  The primary purpose of ADA bathrooms is for our guests who are caregivers to family members with special needs. While all five of our bathhouses are handicap accessible, they are not always conducive for caregivers (such as a spouse caring for a spouse, an older child with special needs, or a parent who needs assistance, etc.).  Paving The Way |  Exit aprons on sites ...
