Ocean Lakes Family Campground welcomes all bikers!   However, we have some specific park policies to insure the safety and camping enjoyment of all. 

Please note that motorcycles can not be driven in the campground under power to your site.   Guests are permitted to trailer or tow their motorcycle to their site, but are not permitted to start the engine.  Some guests prefer to park their motorcycle in the motorcycle area in overflow parking (a concrete pad is provided) or as the Security teammates direct.

Large Motorcycle Events

For large motorcycle events such as the Harley-Davidson Spring Rally (the second weekend in May), Ocean Lakes arranges for motorcycle parking at the South Gate entrance (photo above).

Every year this event has grown. In 1999, we had about 300 motorcycles at our Main Entrance. Ocean Lakes continues to become more popular with bikers because we work hard to accommodate them and our non-biker guests at the same time. We have received many positive compliments from both. Even the bikers say its nice to travel back into the campground where it is quiet and relaxing, away from the large roar of motorcycles. They enjoy being able to sleep. Non-biker guests compliment us as well and say they actually enjoy going to the South Gate to see all the bikes lined up.

In 2003 there were nearly 800 bikes in our campground for the May Harley Rally, we had so many bikes and trailers, we had make some changes to accommodate the trailers for their 2004 Rally. More than 900 bikes were parked at the South Gate Area, and hundreds more were kept at people's campsites. The trailers were moved to our secure storage area (or are permitted on a guests' site). Bikes still remained at the South Gate as shown in the photo above. Although the trailer area was in a different location for 2004, there was an area to park vehicles and golf cars near the bikes at the South Gate area. 

The golf car is a great mode of transportation, helps conserve space for more bikes at the South Gate, and is great for towing bikes from Ocean Lakes guests' sites to the South Gate exit of the campground (see photo above).

During this event, large lights are installed for safety and a Security teammate mans the Ocean Lakes South Gate property around the clock.  Guests on motorcycles arrive and depart via the South Gate.
