Most people don’t know there is a campground in South Carolina that is larger than nine of our small towns. But it’s true, and not only is this campground literally the size of a small town, it also has a mile of sandy beach on the Atlantic.
Ocean Lakes Family Campground in Myrtle Beach seems to have it all.
And a vacation here is like bringing your home away from home (a.k.a RV or camper) to a small town where everything you need is at your fingertips. This colossal campground has a little of just about anything you'll find in a small town - and then some things you won't even find in a small town...
For starters, every site is only steps from the ocean.
In addition, every site has electric hookups, water, its own sewer hookup, free wifi, and, so you don't have to miss a single episode of "America's Got Talent," every site comes with a 63-channel cable hookup.
But with all there is to see and do, that television won't likely be on during the day.
The campground has several pools, including a new 500+ foot lazy river. (Not many small towns in South Carolina can say they have one of those!) It also has an olympic-size pool, plus a number of water slides, and a fun splash pad round out the non-beach water activities.
Craving ice cream? You'll find that here too, which comes as no surprise.
The campground has two eateries that'll help to fill your tank when you've run out of steam. Want a pizza delivered? They'll bring it right to your campsite via golf cart from their Meet N' Eat Cafe!
Or, if you're out on the beach and get hungry, this small town, er... huge campground, has its own beachfront cafe.
The Sandy Cafe is located beachside and is sure to have something to quieten your growling tummy so you can get back to the business of relaxing on the beach.
Forget to pack something and don't want to uproot the entire RV just to go fetch it?
Ocean Lakes has a camp store the likes of which we promise you've never seen. Most camp stores have a few items scattered around a small shared space with the check-in counter. But not this campground. The camp store is 12,000 square feet and has everything from groceries to hardware, toiletries, souvenirs and gifts.
Most campgrounds organize activities throughout the year — as do small towns.
But we promise, you will not find a Fourth of July parade anywhere quite like the one at Ocean Lakes. The annual event gets camping families inspired to create the best golf cart floats you've ever seen. If you don't have a golf cart then you can rent one at Ocean Lakes. Just want to watch? Pull a chair out to where you campsite meets the road.
Ocean Lakes Family Campground is 320 acres of unparalleled fun along the coast.
Three hundred and twenty acres is the equivalent to half of a square mile, and is larger than nine of the small towns in South Carolina. One thing for sure is... you'll never need to leave once your park your car or RV. Have you camped at Ocean Lakes? We'd love to know!
