Ocean Lakes Family Campground

This is a great campground. We have a 27’ trailer, a 9 yr old daughter and 12 yr old old son, and 2 boxers. This campground had everything we needed.

The water park/pool was awesome. My husband and I floated in the giant lazy river as our kids used the water slides and splash area. The lifeguard are great with the kids and super nice. The lifeguards in the splash pad area had a game of walking tag going on with all the kids. This helped break the ice between all the kids and my kids met alot of friends. Again, the lifeguards were super great with the kids. This area does not allow coolers but we bought a small soft sided cooler and it was never a problem. Alcohol is prohibited so we used aluminum reusable cups with lids to sneak in some alcohol. Everyone has these reusable cups all over the resort. So be like the jones and bring one. You can buy them at the store and they range from 10.99 - 40.00.

There was an area to walk the dogs. Although be careful of the older people who don’t leash their dog. The campground supplied clean up bags and trash cans all over the resort.

There is a small food area near the pool that offered great pizza, ice cream, chicken finger, etc. they will deliver to your campsite as long as it’s not raining. Call ahead if your going to pick up the food because the lines get long.

There is a food store that has every necessity you need from food to rv stuff.

Ok my favorite part of this trip. The wash and fold service. I dropped my clothes off at 830am and they were cleaned and ready for pickup by 1030am. Best part it only cost me 21.00\. I dropped off a giant bag of clothes. If your not interested in someone else doing your laundry they have washers and dryers. A lot of them. There was always people there but there are so many machines I never noticed a problem getting laundry done.

They do activities for families. When we were they we went to the America bingo. They gave away small food prizes. The kids had fun and gave us something to do. They do give away prizes for best American dressed.

Be ready to see golf carts. Everyone here drives golf carts. There is actually golf cart traffic at night because there are so many golf carts. Really! People sit in traffic and high five each other as they go by. There is so much traffic that people set up chairs in the side of the road so they can watch the traffic. Not joking. It was a lot of fun watching the different golf carts go by. They are all decorated and the kids enjoyed seeing the light up ones. You can bring a golf cart or they rent them there.

outside the resort, there is a Walmart across the street that is more a food store then a Walmart. This Walmart offers food, alcohol, and a small necessity area. A bigger Walmart is about 15/20 minutes down the road.

The beach here is small but nice and clean. This area of the beach has lifeguards. Other resorts along this beach do not have lifeguards. Get up early and set up beach chairs. No one will take them and it will ensure you get a spot on the beach. We did this everyday. Some days we left our chairs on the beach and went to the pool and then went back to the beach later.

My only issue with this resort is the congestion. They squish the rvs and trailers in like sardines. There is enough room for your camper but your neighbors are right next to you. We had a campsite with a concrete pad and full hookups. The concrete pad was very nice to have because the sand was hard to keep up with. I couldn’t imagine how much sand there would have been in the camper if we were on sand. We have an outdoor rug and it was still bad.

Checkin: We did pre check in before we arrived and they set all our paperwork in the mail. This was great bc all we had to do was place the tag on our mirror and drive in. Nice and easy after a 9 hr drive there.

Noise: this place is noisy. Noise times are 7am- 11pm. The good thing about this is at 11pm everything is quiet. No one is on the roads. All golf carts go away and people settle down for the night.

Bathrooms: our lot was across from a bathroom. The bathrooms are clean. There are about 10 toilets and about 6 shower/ dressing areas. The bathrooms are cleaned several times a day and I never noticed a problem. The only problem I noticed was when the pumping truck came. They smelled for several hours but then it was gone.

Overall I would go back to this resort if I was in Myrtle beach.

Lots of fun but loud and congested

This campground probably has the nicest campsites of any of the huge campgrounds in Myrtle Beach.  Most are level and paved.  The amenities are nice but the general areas are only ok.  The campground does have its own beachfront access.

This is one of the highest rated campgrounds in the area but beware of even thinking of breaking one of the rules.  The last time we stayed here, the campground was only about 1/3 full so I did break a rule and drive our golf cart slowly through one of the empty sites with no campers near by.  Yet within hours security was at our campsite giving us a warning.  They are passive aggressive in enforcing the rules.

We stayed here in a class C motor home.

Good mega campground

Campground met our expectations and was very close to the beach

As expected

This was a great family vacation. You have to book in advance and call back frequently for cancellations if you want to be able to get close to the beach! Most campsites aren’t a bad walk from the beach and renting or bringing a golf cart would make it that much easier! Their pool was very well maintained the lifeguards do their jobs well so I felt pretty comfortable with my 8 year old and 10 year old being pretty self suffficient which is nice to be able to relax a little more. They have lots of activities we did a few, not too many, since we were there mainly for the ocean. Cons: the WiFi on our phones lagged pretty bad, but our Roku worked just fine so that made it better. The lines to the food/ice cream shop we’re always so long we passed on it. Pros: They have a nice store. The laundromat was very nice and like a little laundry vacation for this mom of four! ;-) The prices on extra things was not astronomical, i.e. arcade, ice cream, golf cart rental, mini-golf, ect. It is like its own little community which is kinda neat. We really had a blast! Hope to go back someday!

Fun, busy, easy walk to beach! 

we always enjoying visiting. alot to do for the kids and dogs are welcome. you can rent golf carts or bring your own.You can even buy one there if you want.  you really never need to leave the campground if you don't want to. Camp store, ice cream shop. 

once a year every year. 

We first visited Ocean Lakes in July 2014 and immediately fell in love. This park is HUGE! When we heard it was rated Mega Park of the year in 2017, we weren't surprised at all. Ocean Lakes is not like the state parks and KOA's that we both grew up camping - it's MASSIVE! With over 800 campsites there is little left to be desired at this stop!

Voted Mega Park of the year for a reason

One big campground with a lot of amenities.  Nice people. Good size sites with concret pads and patio that accommodate larger rigs but the roads between the sites can be tight.  Kid and pet friendly.  Wish it had a dog park.  Very large camp store, large laundry facility and water park.  Very fairly price considering the he amenities.  We’ll be back.

Nice beachside campground 

Ocean Lakes has it all. Great place for families and couple's alike. My wife and I are DINKS but we still have a great time here. Ample spaces. 30/50 amp, great sewer hookups, cable and a tiered WiFi plan. The staff are diligent in keeping it clean here and security is always on the patrol. Will definitely be back.




All in one

We just love this place.  It is so big with so many things to do you never have to leave the grounds.  We camped feet from the ocean, other family members rented places.  A golf cart is a must to get around... and the aren’t cheap 🤷🏻‍♀️.  But will go back every chance we get. 

My Happy Place !!!!

We loved camping here. We rented a golf cart and never left the campground. Great lazy river, water splash zone, store and snack area. Really big shaded lot in the K area that was close to everything. 

Awesome family campground

Great campground plenty of big spots but very busy in the heat of the summer 

Awesome 

We visited December 28th through January 5th.
Obviously the pool was closed and the beach was cold. However. There is an indoor pool, arcade, and an environmental center with good displays and also offered hands on activities. 

Off-Season Camping

This place is huge. It’s comparable to a small city. There’s a lot of houses and a good bit of campsites. A golf cart is a must have here to get around. The lots are nice some are concrete and others aren’t. They are full hookup with cable. In the section we stayed in had very few trees so I’d recommend a pop up tent. Has a restaurant and laundry mat on site as well as a store. Very nice pool with a couple water slides and a lazy river. 

Small city

We just finished our stay at Ocean Lakes Family Campground in Myrtle Beach, SC.  We enjoyed it and will return.  

Cons: no shade, sites really tight, a lot of golf carts zooming around, internet flakey - if you could stay connected it was good, site not level

Pros:  right on the beach, a ton of amenities - including potable water,  affordable for being on the beach with full hookup (e,w,s,c,i), concrete pad available, super easy to get to (it has its own intersection redlight).

Convenient and Great Amenities

We loved the spot we for right by the ocean. Overall, it was a bit too crowded for our style of camping. 

Great Location, but HUGE

We have been going to Ocean Lakes for over 20 years. We started out taking our daughter, and now are taking our grandkids. OC is definitely our happy place. A+++

Absolute pleasure 

This place has everything! Literally. A market, arcade, snake bar, equipment rental, water park, mini golf, and on and on... I have stayed in Surfside Beach hotels before and love falling to sleep listening to the waves crashing on shore. I never thought I could do the same and bring my own bathroom! And if you like to walk, the quaint and beautiful town of Surfside Beach is only 1.5 miles down the beach. We saw pelicans, gulls and dolphins. The sites are quite close together, but all are full hook-up. Highly recommend Ocean Lakes.

Steps from the ocean

Great place for the kids. Playgrounds, summer concerts, dining etc is close by too. It buts up against Myrtle Beach Resort so our friends stayed there while we camped sometimes.  A bar restaurant is on the resort property  next door within walking distance. Less fees than Other places nearby

Amazing campground with lots to do

Great park. Tons to do and on a beach. Look forward to coming back again. 

All the amenities 

Great place to stay with a rv and kids very close beach access and very clean great rv parts store as well

Ocean lakes campground 

My husband and I love ocean lakes. We are from PA so this is quite different than the campgrounds we are used to, but when we go here we go for a week and make a vacation out of it. Beautiful campground with beach access, tons of amenities, and close to all the Myrtle Beach funness. Will continue to go back. We go in September after school starts back up so it's still very warm but not as crazy busy as it is during the summer.
