Ocean Lakes

This is a very exciting time of year at Ocean Lakes for many reasons! Not only is the campground decked out in Christmas decorations and everyone is enjoying sweet treats, but our Maintenance Teammates have been hard at work making upgrades throughout the campground!  Our Team utilizes this down time to complete our bigger projects. Each winter, the Ocean Lakes Team kicks into high gear to complete necessary upgrades in the campground, as well as new and exciting projects. This winter has been no different! We always strive to provide a wonderful experience for all of our Guests and Annual Lease Site Holders. Part of that experience includes maintaining the campground. We are continuously making improvements and investing back into our campground.  We take pride in everything we do. Because, after all, everything we do, is for you .

One step can be a doozy, bur miracles happen every day, which is exactly what one guest proved in 2018 while camping at Ocean Lakes.  Meet Craig | Craig is a high school environmental science teacher from Airville, Pennsylvania. Craig and his wife, Brenda, along with their two sons, have been camping at Ocean Lakes for five years. While on their annual summer vacation in 2018, tragedy struck in their camper… On the first night.   Pop Goes Craig | While tucking in his two sons for bed, Craig tripped over the pull-out bed and fell on his head. He recalls doing “a sort of somersault,” which led to a “pop, pop, pop” noise. After much pacing and deliberation, he rode his bike (yes, he rode his bike) to the local Urgent Care the next morning. Upon x-rays, seeking an experienced orthopedic surgeon who specializes in spine surgery, going to the hospital, and having more tests run, it was determined that Craig had a fracture and dislocation of his neck with a ruptured disc....

The holidays are quickly approaching! There is a slight chill in the air and the holiday music is all around. This means special time with family and friends, and let’s not forget the food! It is the most magical, wonderful time of year!  And it is no different at Ocean Lakes! We have begun decorating with lights, wreaths, and Christmas trees, and our holiday-themed Activities Calendar has been finalized.  Many guests spend their holiday season with us, and our activities have become a tradition in their families. Well, this year, the traditions will remain the same, but do we have a surprise for you!  Our special event, Visit with Santa, will look a little different this year… Mrs. Claus will be joining Santa at Ocean Lakes (she wanted her beach vacation, too)!  Take a Look at all of the Holiday Fun to be had at Ocean Lakes this Season | Thanksgiving Events: Turkey Bingo – Monday, November 22nd @ 7 PM | Join us in the Recreation Center for ten games of Bingo!

This week, we are doing things a little different. One of our guests will be telling you her story – Rather, her brave grandson’s story. Meet Terra from North Carolina and her grandson, Breylon.  Breylon’s Story | Breylon was born at 24 weeks and weighed 1 lb. 4 oz., and although he is limited by vision, mobility, and cognitive ability, camping at Ocean Lakes has been a fabulous family vacation for Breylon and his parents. Breylon has cortical vision impairment, so his visual field is very close, but he does see those big trucks and campers! Grandma’s Hero | My grandson has Cerebral Palsy and he so enjoys riding the golf car around the campground. Breylon loves looking at other campers, he will often say, “big truck” or “big camper, two slides.” He loves playing at his campsite with his “racetrack.” Some of my greatest memories are of those watching him at Halloweekends. One year, he was a kissing booth that was attached to his walker, and he did get quite a few kisses that year!...
