My family started going to ocean lakes the year i was born and has gone every year since. I am now 23 years old. The tradition started with my granparents hauling all 7 grandkids down in a camper. We now rent a house every year. This campground is like a second home to my family and i enjoy every minute of our vacation there every year.
WOW..as Americans like to say"GO BIG OR GO HOME"I guess with 360 million people you can do things on a grand scale...looks like a lot of fun...having sunny days helps to!!.😎
Wow I stayed in that camp ground as a kid with my parents. The had a Coleman popup and I stayed in a pup tent. I was around 8 or 9 at the time now I'm 61. Have not seen that place in years. Good to see it's still going strong. Thx
Mike Lloyd it is still nice but they cut down a lot of trees, took out the lagoon pool, as I called it, and put in tall water slides, and things are rather tight with all of the RVs and houses on stilts.
I’ve been going to Ocean Lakes for about 35 years. Since I was 5. A lot has changed in those years. There used to be another section of camper sites where the lazy river and big slide is. The arcade used to be where the observation deck is now. Hurricane Hugo took that out. Those are probably 5 yrs old or less. Glad you enjoyed your stay. Hopefully you will visit our great state again. Happy camping👍🏻. Subscribed as well.
Hello Roger! Thanks for watching and subscribing! Yes Ocean Lakes was incredible! Sounds like you are an ol pro regarding the place..... 35 years, wow! We will be back, maybe in the fall or early spring. Hope you guys have a great summer! Thanks again!
Ocean lakes is my favorite campground. Being only an hour and a half from there we frequent there often. Headed down Friday for the weekend even though the weather is not that great I still don’t mind it. Great video
I love Ocean Lake.. me and the family spent 7 beautiful days there last year in may in 1 of their beautiful lake front 2 story homes. 1 of our best vacations ever. This video makes me want too go back very soon great video it shows everything.
Great video! We stay here every year and love it! You did great covering all the hotspots in the campground. Nothing like a golf cart parade at night to have some fun. Even my 7 year old likes to cruise and slap hands with the pretty little girls :) fun for all ages.
Jessica, thanks for watching! Ocean Lakes has a lot of life and energy that’s for sure. We got a kick watching the golf cart parade each night as well! Have a great summer!
That was an awesome video!!! I never been to Myrtle Beach , and it looks like fun . I like the way you keep us watching your videos , and they're never boring to watch . Thank you , and have a great week. The music you pick is awesome.
We LOOOVE Ocean Lakes. We live in Wilmington NC and it's just a short drive. We go often and our uncle has a little house in there where he lived and we can stay any time we want. The nights are fun with the golf cart parades too. LOOOOOVE OL.
I live 8 miles from Ocean Lakes. Wife and like going there just for a little get away from the house. It’s a little pricey during the season but you get a lot for your money. Worth it in my book.
👍😍You two are adorable. 💝 Thanks for the review and tour. I’m so happy to see that RV park.....it’s waaaay tooooo busy for me. I would have been over stimulated. 😂 I’m laughing & crying because this is before the CoronaVirus pandemic. Wishing you guys the absolute best. I’ll check out your other videos as well. Thanks for sharing your journey. 🤗💞🤗
WOW that’s a big park! Looks like a lot of fun, but I think we’ll shoot for the off-season when it’s a little bit less busy. I don’t think we’ve ever seen so many golf carts! 😯 Hope your family enjoyed their 1st RVing experience! Thanks for taking us along!
Thanks guys! Yeah I think my next visit will be during the off season as well. Thanks for watching. Keep your videos coming too, We enjoy them so much!
This is our favorite campground. Gearing back up for the Halloweekends in October. We are just weekenders while the kids are in school but love yalls content.
Thanks, your video indeed provided insight regarding our future stay at these premises with our camper. And, as a viewer, my spouse and l both appreciate and do recognize the efforts put forth in producing such quality videos - in terms of interest and content value as well as overall entertainment.
I would consider this form of entertainment as Pac-Rat syndrome. An experiment from the 1950’s where creepy scientist put rats in ever increasing populations to study societal breakdown. I appreciated seeing this well done video. I learned tons watching it.
Just toke a ride thru there today we are snowbirds ans stay in a high rise condo. We love it here. So we always seen so many people going in there so we got a 1hour pass. I was surprise to see how big it is. I came home and look it up and saw your utube. I am so gladit wasnt crouded at all we could just ride right thru there. Nice place.
Awesome video u guys this actually got everything in the park i love ocean lakes it’s been a home away from home for u since 1988 we spend 9 days there every July. Last year they relocated an enlarged the nature center lab an museum. Keep up the videos an hope to see y’all back at OL soon
It's pretty cool looking at it from this prospected. I worked there through my high school years in the golf cart department. Definitely a very fun place I sure had a blast!
I used to live 40 min from Myrtle Beach and never knew this was there. But, since I lived so close I never was interested in overnight accommodations. I do miss MB and North Carolina. You video made me home sick in a good way!
we loved ocean lakes. stayed there last labour day weekend on the way home from the Fort. had a great site first in teh row at the beach! we have to agree ive never seen so many carts! weve also stayed at the trav-l-park and enjoyed it too, but we went here for the easy beach access.
enjoyed your video,,, we've been here before and swore we would never go back!! lol way to crowed for us...love your big rig,, its beautiful... you guys do a great job. thanks
Hello Sir, Outstanding Coverage of Ocean Lakes Family campground. I haven't been in 2 years but my family and I really enjoyed it. Looking to go back after we're done exploring the Northeast. I have 3 more years with the Philly PD and I hope to get to Ocean Lakes more often. Thank you for sharing.
Tolleson Life Yes Sir, I made the 30 year mark as of last March, Now I'm running my drop time. Looking forward to some much needed R&R, outside of a few weeks & weekends. I'm glad I sub to your channel, we have several things in common.
Oh ok! I know a lot of folks through out the country who have the Drop Program. We have something similar call the Recapture Program. Take care up there and hope to cross paths one day.
We have gone in early November and had a great time, very empty then and we had a great beach view by day 3. Going in April with several friends meeting there again so I hope it's the same way. However there are state parks just down the road that I want to try also.
I strongly recommend that you go in October, mainly during the Halloween weekend, while it is still crowded I don't think it is as crowded (though I could always be wrong) and it is still fun ( no waterpark though )
Hey guys great vlog. Next time you are on Myrtle Beach . Check out Pirate Land Campground. Also if you ever get to the Virginia area check out Bethpage campgrounds
Hey Joe! We plan to do just that. In fact we have some friends who always camp in Pirate Land so that may be our next place when we come back to S.C. I will also check out Bethpage as well. Thanks for the info! Appreciate you watching!
WOW!!! That is a Huge Campground. We are actually going to be there in 2 weeks. We aren't scheduled to stay there but we will defiantly be getting some info from them for a future stay. Thanks for sharing!
Yes . That's great. Pirate Land is so laid back and all the camp sites are large. Try staying in the shaded areas. The sites close to the beach are to close together and they get a little hot. My air conditioner has a hard time keeping up with that much heat. Also Beth page is like a fort wilderness in Virginia
Thanks for the very informative video. We absolutely love RV Life and will definitely be checking this Campground out. Just not in peak season, lol. Great video, thanks again! ✌🏾
I cannot even begin to tell you how awesome this place is. Yes it can get crowded, but I am a self proclaimed introvert and it’s my favorite place ever. With some clever timing during the day it’s not that bad even during peak seasons. Too bad you didn’t show the whole water park (orange slides, giant lazy river, huge kiddy splash pad) and the nightly golf cart parades!
Thanks Flippin Traverlers. We just subscribed to your channel. Love that ladder you guys have in the rv. We will be watching. Keep up the good work. Hope you guys have a great summer.
Thank you for sharing. Great video editing and camera work and the narration was fun. As far as the campground, not so sure. Seems very clean and lots of amenities but really crowded in season. Maybe off season it is better but not sure when that is (?). I think I will stick to the OBX for now. I was born and raised in SoFlo, so I have had my fill of crowded beaches :-)
Has anyone been there for Memorial Day week, the last week in May? Just wondering how the crowd is then. We went to ocean lakes for years when I was growing up and after I had children. Haven’t been in several years and planning to go next year... And Great video!
Wow, just watched the video guys and I thought it was great. I live here in the Upstate region of South Carolina and didn't know that the beach even offered such a mega RV campsite as Ocean Lakes. I have heard of it but just thought that it was condo's and apartments. We are expecting the arrival of our travel trailer that I recently purchased, it's a 2019 Forest River Greywolf Limited Edition 29TE with a bunkhouse for the grandkids. After watching your video, I'm just about positive of where we are going to plan one of our trips, it's only about 4 hours away from us. I did subscribe to your channel and plan on watching more of your videos. Maybe someday we may be in the same place and get to meet. In the meantime, happy travels to you both.
Hello Terrence, Thanks for watching and for subscribing. Congrats on the RV purchase! I hope you guys have many safe travels this year! Be great to meet you guys too!
We've been there several times... Stayed on the beach side all 3 times. It is a have to part everyone needs to experience Ocean Lakes! But for me personally... It's too busy for me... LOL
You did a great job presenting this place. But OMG, it is WAY too busy for our liking. We are 25 years married with no children, so we make sure to generally camp at vacation hot spots when most people with children don't. We totally avoid spring break, fall break, and mid-summer. It would be a great place to stay during a slower season. We're seasoned campers having started with a 13ft travel trailer, then a 19ft travel trailer, now a 28ft with 2 slides that suits us to a T. Myrtle Beach is definitely on the list for the future.
Hey John, Sounds like you guys are pros at this RVing thing. Yes sir, we visited Ocean Lake during their High Activity time of year. May go back again in the off season. Safe travels to you guys.
It looks nice, but we typically look for a bar in the pool :). i didn't see that in your video. I'm assuming this is more of a kid place without an adult bar area in the pool ? thx for video great editing
The golf carts are the main reason we don't go to Ocean Lakes, we travel a few more miles up the road to Myrtle Beach Travel Park. Only the year round residents have golf carts, which means less traffic and a more relaxed feel.
Thanks for the video, Tollesons. Wayne, thanks for the tip! I was just about to hit reserve online for the Ocean Lakes. I didn't even know about the Myrtle Beach Travel Park. It looks much more our style. I don't see the point in all those golf carts (unless you are elderly or disabled). I want my kids to walk or ride a bike!
Robert, I thought I responded to your question, but don't see it. Congrats on your upcoming purchase. I didn't take any classes though it not a bad idea if you have the chance. Just learned on my own but not really that difficult. Best of luck to you guys!
Hey Brother Love, actually I am still getting comfortable with it. But I do get better with each adventure. It's not difficult, just different. I still get "ramped up" at gas stations and as I pull into rv lots that are tight. But again, getting better with each experience. Thanks for watching.
I’ll say this. My very first time pulling my camper (albeit it’s a pop up), I drove it to there from Asheboro NC. All pull through sites make it really freakin easy. Golf cart renting is expensive but it’s fun at night with the golf cart parade lol. Asheboro is also home to the biggest zoo on the east coast and we have a jellystone park which is AMAZING!!!!
MischievousKittie , I have had others recommend Lakewood as well. Have not hear of Westgate but will give it a look! Thanks for watching! Hope you are having a great summer!

I think this is the best Ocean Lakes Campground Video I have seen. We love this place. Come each year for the past 9 years.
My family started going to ocean lakes the year i was born and has gone every year since. I am now 23 years old. The tradition started with my granparents hauling all 7 grandkids down in a camper. We now rent a house every year. This campground is like a second home to my family and i enjoy every minute of our vacation there every year.
Wow, that is so wonderful! What a great story!

Our family vacation place. The best !!!
We love it there! A beach in our back yard from the camper!!
Great Tina! Thats the largest Rv Park Ive seen :)
WOW..as Americans like to say"GO BIG OR GO HOME"I guess with 360 million people you can do things on a grand scale...looks like a lot of fun...having sunny days helps to!!.😎
Go there several times per year. Love it!
Thank for sharing, beautiful couple!
Thank you Rico!

Went there at least a couple of times a year with my parents in the late 70's. It has changed alot!
CactusRH, I could see myself there as a teenager! They were having a ball with the golf carts and all the “high activity”. Thanks for watching!
Tolleson Life Thanks for the uploads. Y'all do a great job with your editing. Safe travels.
Thank you CactusRH!
We love ocean lakes and myrtle Beach area.Been going most of my life!

Great Kevin, good that you are that close. Hope you guys have a good weekend and the weather improves.
Awesome Job Clakie and Darryl!!!!
Thank you Danley! What an RV park!
we were there the week of July 4, 2018 Our first time at this campground, the grandchildren loved it!
I bet it was super busy during that time of season! I can see why the young ones would really enjoy this place.
Whew....that is a big place! It is awesome Clay's relatives were able to visit too!! Looking forward to your next adventures!!
Thanks for watching! It was a little busy for us but some folks love it that way.
I love Ocean Lake.. me and the family spent 7 beautiful days there last year in may in 1 of their beautiful lake front 2 story homes. 1 of our best vacations ever. This video makes me want too go back very soon great video it shows everything.
Thanks Prince151ful! Glad you enjoyed the video! Ocean Lakes is a special place for sure! Hope you make it back soon!
I was down there the EXACT same time as you guys! I love how at night, everyone gets on their golf carts to cruise and socialize!
Great video! We stay here every year and love it! You did great covering all the hotspots in the campground. Nothing like a golf cart parade at night to have some fun. Even my 7 year old likes to cruise and slap hands with the pretty little girls :) fun for all ages.

Thank you Trebleda Uaedirb! Glad you enjoy the videos!
Love Ocean Lakes!! We go every year in July.
If you don’t mind me asking, is it super busy? Like, too busy in the pools and slides?
1380beagle it’s not too bad wait is prob from 5-10 min for each ride
Looks kinda like hell on earth 🌏, thanks for sharing🍀👀
I would consider this form of entertainment as Pac-Rat syndrome. An experiment from the 1950’s where creepy scientist put rats in ever increasing populations to study societal breakdown.
I appreciated seeing this well done video. I learned tons watching it.
This was great !!!
Thank you Rhonda! Appreciate you watching!
Just toke a ride thru there today we are snowbirds ans stay in a high rise condo. We love it here. So we always seen so many people going in there so we got a 1hour pass.

Thanks Seth! Im sure you did my friend.
Great video. We always stay at Lakewood. More grass & trees. Lots are bigger.
I used to live 40 min from Myrtle Beach and never knew this was there. But, since I lived so close I never was interested in overnight accommodations. I do miss MB and North Carolina. You video made me home sick in a good way!
Hello Meg. Appreciate you watching and hope get get back to visit soon! All the best!
we loved ocean lakes. stayed there last labour day weekend on the way home from the Fort. had a great site first in teh row at the beach! we have to agree ive never seen so many carts! weve also stayed at the trav-l-park and enjoyed it too, but we went here for the easy beach access.

Thanks Bill. Yeah this was a little crowed for us too. May return during another time of year.
Hello Sir, Outstanding Coverage of Ocean Lakes Family campground. I haven't been in 2 years but my family and I really enjoyed it. Looking to go back after we're done exploring the Northeast. I have 3 more years with the Philly PD and I hope to get to Ocean Lakes more often. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching. I didnt know you were with the PD up there. Awesome! be safe and enjoy your next 36 months. Stay safe!
Tolleson Life Yes Sir, I made the 30 year mark as of last March, Now I'm running my drop time. Looking forward to some much needed R&R, outside of a few weeks & weekends. I'm glad I sub to your channel, we have several things in common.
Oh ok! I know a lot of folks through out the country who have the Drop Program. We have something similar call the Recapture Program. Take care up there and hope to cross paths one day.
Excellent camera angles. Love the aerial drone shots.
Thanks Randy! Glad you liked it!
Wow...it does look like a small city. Great video!
Thanks Joe, yes sir, a small city for sure. I hope to return sometime in the off season. Hope you guys are having a great summer.
This is a great tour!
Thank you Gracie!
Hi guys, great video. Love the park but to busy for me. Thank you for sharing.
Hey Greg, I understand how you feel about the crowds at this park. Maybe another time of year.....
We have gone in early November and had a great time, very empty then and we had a great beach view by day 3. Going in April with several friends meeting there again so I hope it's the same way. However there are state parks just down the road that I want to try also.

Great video, as usual, thanks "guys"...
Thanks Alvar!
great video!
Thanks Bruce!
Been going here since I was a baby. I miss it so much.
Lycan587 We hope you get to return soon!
I love that place I go every year
Awesome! It’s a beautiful area! We enjoyed our time there! Thanks for watching!
I love it there especially at night when they ride the golf carts around! I am going there in July
Yes indeed, they had a parade of golf carts on the beachside every night.
Great job my friends keep it going,really nice place to visit. Andy
Thanks Andy! Appreciate you watching!
Hey guys great vlog. Next time you are on Myrtle Beach . Check out Pirate Land Campground. Also if you ever get to the Virginia area check out Bethpage campgrounds
Hey Joe! We plan to do just that. In fact we have some friends who always camp in Pirate Land so that may be our next place when we come back to S.C. I will also check out Bethpage as well. Thanks for the info! Appreciate you watching!
Thx for the tour
Sure Dave!
I would say the best time to hit the park is in early May or late September it was just a little too crowded for me
Again, thanks for your insights with respect to this campground. Added it for future consideration while in the area
You are very welcome Trebleada! Safe travels!
🌸Oh wow these high quality videos are amazing guys. Awesome job and fun adventures. You both are wonderful🌸
Thank you ABZ! We really have fun making them. Just learning though!
WOW!!! That is a Huge Campground. We are actually going to be there in 2 weeks. We aren't scheduled to stay there but we will defiantly be getting some info from them for a future stay. Thanks for sharing!
Liked the video. This CG added to our AVOID list.
Thanks NoGas. I understand the avoid list. All the best!
IM #1 viewer of this video!! Great video! You make really good videos! Great editing and camera shots!!
Way to be alert Terry!!
Wow you hae taken retirement to a new level...
Thanks mmpatl31, I am enjoying everyday of it! Hope you are doing well. Thanks for watching!
Yes . That's great. Pirate Land is so laid back and all the camp sites are large. Try staying in the shaded areas. The sites close to the beach are to close together and they get a little hot. My air conditioner has a hard time keeping up with that much heat. Also Beth page is like a fort wilderness in Virginia
Great! Thanks for the info!
OL is the best⭐♥️
Thanks for the very informative video. We absolutely love RV Life and will definitely be checking this Campground out. Just not in peak season, lol. Great video, thanks again! ✌🏾
Great Chris! You are very welcome.
I cannot even begin to tell you how awesome this place is. Yes it can get crowded, but I am a self proclaimed introvert and it’s my favorite place ever. With some clever timing during the day it’s not that bad even during peak seasons. Too bad you didn’t show the whole water park (orange slides, giant lazy river, huge kiddy splash pad) and the nightly golf cart parades!
We spent 5 weeks at this campground. .loved it
Wow, Im sure you guys did! Incredible place. I hope to be back next year.
Wow huge park.
Yes sir.
Love this place.been going there since 1983. Many memories there.
Omg love the Channel. You guys are so informative. We are loving the Park reviews. This park is humongous 🤣. Keep the videos coming ❤️❤️
Thanks Flippin Traverlers. We just subscribed to your channel. Love that ladder you guys have in the rv. We will be watching. Keep up the good work. Hope you guys have a great summer.
NICE video!!
Thanks Victoria!
Beautiful place, it's just too crowded and soo expensive. We live about 3 miles away and look at some places in there.
Thank you for sharing. Great video editing and camera work and the narration was fun. As far as the campground, not so sure. Seems very clean and lots of amenities but really crowded in season. Maybe off season it is better but not sure when that is (?). I think I will stick to the OBX for now. I was born and raised in SoFlo, so I have had my fill of crowded beaches :-)
I agree with ya. Its was a bit crowded and busy for us. We may try back in the Fall. Save travels to you guys.
Has anyone been there for Memorial Day week, the last week in May? Just wondering how the crowd is then. We went to ocean lakes for years when I was growing up and after I had children. Haven’t been in several years and planning to go next year... And Great video!
Mel, I am told Memorial Day Week is a "High Activity" time.... Can't confirm it personally....Thanks for watching!
Wow, just watched the video guys and I thought it was great. I live here in the Upstate region of South Carolina and didn't know that the beach even offered such a mega RV campsite as Ocean Lakes. I have heard of it but just thought that it was condo's and apartments.

Hello Terrence, Thanks for watching and for subscribing. Congrats on the RV purchase! I hope you guys have many safe travels this year! Be great to meet you guys too!
We love Lakeview which is right next door.
I've had folks recommend Lakeview. May check it out one day. Thanks for watching.
Hi I just happen to stumble on your video it is really great. I live in Myrtle Beach and I do know where that place is but never knew how hugh it is.
Thanks for watching James!
We were looking at this campground for vacation this August, but now I’m worried it might be too busy. 😕
Hello 1380beagle, yes August would be a high activity time for sure. All the best.
It is pretty busy but it will definitely be worth it
We've been there several times... Stayed on the beach side all 3 times. It is a have to part everyone needs to experience Ocean Lakes! But for me personally... It's too busy for me... LOL
I agree JoMar, during those peak season its just a little to busy for me too. Maybe another time of year......
Camped there and loved it! Except they do not let you ride your motorcycle in the camp ground. Nice unit!
Yeah, not our favorite, a little too crowded.....for us.
Not using the Toy Hauler anymore? What an amazing location to Vacation...
MelloEllo70, This trip was before the Toy Hauler. Thanks for watching!
Hey guys we were at Mrytle beach resort in the towers me an my wife honeymooning..the same week you guys filmed your vlog.
Hey James, Congrats on the wedding/marriage. Best of luck to you!!
Im going with my friend this year☺️
Hope you have a great time!
Thanks!
You did a great job presenting this place. But OMG, it is WAY too busy for our liking. We are 25 years married with no children, so we make sure to generally camp at vacation hot spots when most people with children don't. We totally avoid spring break, fall break, and mid-summer. It would be a great place to stay during a slower season. We're seasoned campers having started with a 13ft travel trailer, then a 19ft travel trailer, now a 28ft with 2 slides that suits us to a T. Myrtle Beach is definitely on the list for the future.
Hey John, Sounds like you guys are pros at this RVing thing. Yes sir, we visited Ocean Lake during their High Activity time of year. May go back again in the off season. Safe travels to you guys.
Wow!
Thats what we said when we arrived! WOW! Thanks for watching Dawn.
I love Ocean Lakes but the golf carts are a little much everyone is crazy with them there.
I hear ya, a lot of them around the campground. All apart of it I guess.
It looks nice, but we typically look for a bar in the pool :). i didn't see that in your video. I'm assuming this is more of a kid place without an adult bar area in the pool ? thx for video great editing
I love ocean lakes so muchh!! I have vlogs there myself, but did you know that under the observation center is a skate park?!
Hey Conner. I knew it was there a few years ago but wasn't sure if it was still open during my visit. It appeared to be closed, not sure though.
The golf carts are the main reason we don't go to Ocean Lakes, we travel a few more miles up the road to Myrtle Beach Travel Park. Only the year round residents have golf carts, which means less traffic and a more relaxed feel.
Thanks for watching Wayne. No one walks in Ocean Lakes lol :). We were about the only ones riding bikes.
Check out this link to there park map. Note the highlighted items.

Will do Wayne. Looks awesome!
Thanks for the video, Tollesons. Wayne, thanks for the tip! I was just about to hit reserve online for the Ocean Lakes. I didn't even know about the Myrtle Beach Travel Park. It looks much more our style. I don't see the point in all those golf carts (unless you are elderly or disabled). I want my kids to walk or ride a bike!
Your welcome Ryan! Enjoy your trip to Myrtle Beach!
Good Vid! thx
Thanks Sickwithit HD! Like that Road Glide!
Try Pirateland Campground, Myrtle Beach, two campgrounds down. That's where we go.
Will do Birgit! Thank you!
Soon we have something in common , both being first time Rvs. Did you take driving class for your Rv or did you learn by driving?
Robert, I thought I responded to your question, but don't see it. Congrats on your upcoming purchase. I didn't take any classes though it not a bad idea if you have the chance. Just learned on my own but not really that difficult. Best of luck to you guys!
How long did it take to be comfortable driving that big rig and a toad as well
Hey Brother Love, actually I am still getting comfortable with it. But I do get better with each adventure. It's not difficult, just different. I still get "ramped up" at gas stations and as I pull into rv lots that are tight. But again, getting better with each experience. Thanks for watching.
Way too big and busy for my liking,thnx for sharing 👍
Yes indeed. My next visit will be during a lower activity time for sure!
I’ll say this. My very first time pulling my camper (albeit it’s a pop up), I drove it to there from Asheboro NC. All pull through sites make it really freakin easy. Golf cart renting is expensive but it’s fun at night with the golf cart parade lol. Asheboro is also home to the biggest zoo on the east coast and we have a jellystone park which is AMAZING!!!!
My second home ⭐🙋💖
Awesome Melanie!
I go to ocean lakes every year in the summer for two weeks
Wow, that awesome! So you must be ok with the crowds?
Westgate and Lakewood I like
MischievousKittie , I have had others recommend Lakewood as well. Have not hear of Westgate but will give it a look! Thanks for watching! Hope you are having a great summer!
We are camping at lakewood which is across from ocean lakes
Thank you
