Ocean Lakes

Camping is the way to go when it comes time for a vacation! The Jacksons developed their land into a campground because they believed that every family should be able to enjoy an oceanfront vacation. They felt that camping caters to people of all walks of life. Before you hit the road, though, there is one essential thing you will need. You will need an RV, of course! RVs are not a one size fits all purchase; there are many floor-plans and features out there. There truly is something for everyone in the RV world!

Ahh, the weather is warming up and the sun is staying out a little longer, which means it is time to hit the beach in a camper for vacation! We remind guests to remember their beach towels and sunscreen, their car passes and golf car registration stickers. However, one thing we tend to leave out at times are camping courtesies (some things are not common knowledge).  Calling all campers, beginners and pros, let’s talk the do’s and don’ts of camping etiquette |  Quiet Hours | Most, if not all, campgrounds have set hours that ask their guests to quiet down for the night. Our Quiet Hours are from 11 PM to 7 AM . This does not make us or any campground the “fun police,” but it does allow for the campers around you to get a good night sleep. Everyone is here to relax and have a good time, and to do so, we all need our rest at the end of the day.  Turn The Volume Down | This is a big one around here, and we all know it is the truth. Yes, we all love our music and yes, music is...

Brrr, it is cold out there – There must be some Winter in the atmosphere!  Yes, Fall is in the air and before you know it, Winter will be here along with the cold weather!

This comes with a guarantee that you will not have broken pipes due to the freezing. However, for the guarantee, you must have your RV prepared before the first freeze. If you do sustain any damage to water lines caused by freezing, our Service Department will repair it at no cost to you! As you know, though, we cannot guarantee you will not endure leaks from worn valves, bad faucet washers and stems, or where rubber has been used to mend water lines. This service is rendered on a first come, first serve basis. Do not delay! What is the Process to Winterize an RV? | To Winterize your RV, antifreeze will be put through al...
