Memories Made at the Arcade | An Ocean Lakes Memory

Last week, we announced that we will be featuring some of our favorite memories from our guests in our blog. Next up this week is Eric from Greer, South Carolina! Meet Eric | Eric is a South Carolina native and has been camping with Ocean Lakes for 42 years! He has special memories from the arcade that all began with his pal, Troy, and his summer love, Roxanne.  Thinking Back With Eric | It was the summer of 1978. My best friend, Troy, and I were 12 years old and it was my first trip to Ocean Lakes. We walked into the arcade as soon as we finished setting up camp. As the song “Barracuda” by Heart played in the background, I spotted her. Roxanne was visiting with her family from Ohio. For the rest of the week, my best friend, Troy, took a backseat to Roxanne! Roxanne and I stayed in touch for a while.  Eric and Troy - 1978 Every time I visit Ocean Lakes, I always walk into the arcade and think back to that wonderful summer. Troy and I are still pals.  Eric and Troy - 2021 Fast Forward |

To celebrate our 50th Birthday, Ocean Lakes held a contest in which Guests and Annual Lease Site Holders were invited to enter their favorite Ocean Lakes memory for a chance to win the sparkly Golden Golf Car. The contest garnered over 600 entries – These memories made us laugh, cry, happy, sad, and so blessed to be a part of Ocean Lakes!
