Making Memories with Morning Coffee | An Ocean Lakes Memory

This week, we are taking in a memory from Jennifer Harmon. Jennifer is from Arden, North Carolina, and has been staying at Ocean Lakes for 22 years. 

So, sit back, grab your cup of coffee, and enjoy this sweet read.

A House Full Makes The Heart Full | Jennifer reminisces on moments shared with her great-grandmother and grandmother over a cup of coffee:
Every year, my parents would rent an oceanfront beach house where my great-grandparents, grandparents, parents, my sister, and I could come down and enjoy Ocean Lakes. Four generations all in one house! I would wake up early to enjoy the sunrise and a cup of coffee with my great-grandmother and grandmother. 

As time went on and my great-grandmother went on to Glory, my children began waking up early so that they could spend the sunrise and coffee time with my sweet Nanny.

Traditions Passed Down | Jennifer’s twins have continued her traditions of sunrise and coffee time: 


This was in 2017 when my twins were 2. They would enjoy coffee every morning with their Great-Grandmother, my Nanny, on the deck of an oceanfront home. They looked forward to this every morning the entire week! Sometimes they would wake up before she was - They were super excited to share this time with her. 
When we would prepare for our yearly vacation back to Ocean Lakes, this was one of the traditions that they both said they “needed” and was clearly one that made a lasting impression.
Unfortunately, my sweet Nanny has gone on to be with our Lord, but we are so thankful for the memories that Ocean Lakes has provided!
Until Next Time | After reading Jennifer’s sweet memories, we hope you all can take something from this… Take time to watch the sunrise, sip your coffee, and enjoy the moments you have with the people you love.

Listen up, Ocean Lakes Campers, we hear you! We know that sometimes the Wi-Fi speed in the campground can be a little frustrating. 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
