Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (PRWEB) November 19, 2016 -- Ocean Lakes Family Campground, the largest campground on the East Coast, is the perfect spot for RV enthusiasts heading south to escape the cold winter months. It offers a vast array of amenities, an oceanfront setting, and is located in Myrtle Beach, where visitors will find endless shopping, entertainment and warmer weather. It is a great place for a winter vacation or as a stopping point on the way to and from Florida. Campsite rates will be as low as $34 per night from November 1 through April 11, 2017, with escalating discounts available.
A variety of RV publications like Trailer Life and Good Sam, have recognized Ocean Lakes as a “hot spot to escape winter's chill,” and as a “top extended stay RV Park” for its convenient location and great amenities.
“Word has gotten out,” said Barb Krumm, Director of Marketing and Public Relations. “We have noticed that a growing number of RV owners and others who enjoy a campground lifestyle are either wintering in Myrtle Beach or stopping in for a while as they head to and from Florida. With its central location on the East Coast and year-round amenities, Ocean Lakes is a great choice for those 'snowbirds.' With campsites starting at $34 a night, plus the discounts we offer senior guests and those who plan to stay long-term, Ocean Lakes is an extremely affordable winter retreat.”
During the winter months, Myrtle Beach temperatures average in the 60s, making it a pleasant destination for rounds of golf on any of the area's nearly 100 courses. For those who love being near the ocean, Ocean Lakes offers nearly one mile of pristine, sandy beachfront that is perfect for walking. Those who enjoy fishing can indulge that passion from the shore, nearby ocean piers and at freshwater lakes.
Ocean Lakes’ amenities are open year-round, including its indoor pool, mini-golf, church, horseshoes, fishing, bicycle rentals and activities such as low impact aerobics and ceramics. Water aerobics classes are popular throughout the year for guests of all ages.
Centrally located at the mid-point of Myrtle Beach's Grand Strand, Ocean Lakes offers easy access to all the area has to offer, including live theatrical shows and concerts, endless dining options (many offering senior discounts), outlet shopping, malls, movie theaters, as well as historic Brookgreen Gardens with its year-round events for all ages.
“There are so many things to do in Myrtle Beach during the winter months,” said Barb Krumm. “Here at Ocean Lakes, we have two very special events. For those who would like to brave the cold for a good cause, we have the 16th Annual Polar Bear Plunge on December 31. For those who enjoy beach music, there is the 17th Annual Beach n' Boogie Weekend on February 17 - 18, 2017. Like all events at Ocean Lakes, these are family friendly.”
