Ocean Lakes Golf Cart Parade

Golf carts are the main mode of transport inside Ocean Lakes, and the campground celebrates that in style with themed golf cart parades throughout the season. These are some of the most fun events on the calendar — low-key, family-friendly, and genuinely entertaining.

When They Happen

Golf cart parades are held during major holiday weekends and special event weekends throughout the year, including July 4th, Halloween, and Christmas in the Sand. Some weekends have themed parades tied to the campground's activity schedule — check the Ocean Lakes events board when you arrive.

How to Participate

Anyone staying at Ocean Lakes can enter their golf cart. Decoration themes are announced in advance. Carts are judged on creativity, and prizes are awarded for the best decorated. You don't need to enter to enjoy it — lining the campground streets and watching the parade go by is half the fun.

Renting a Golf Cart

If your rental home doesn't include a golf cart, you can rent one through Ocean Lakes directly. During holiday weekends they book out fast, so reserve yours before you arrive. Having a cart for the parade weekend makes the whole experience.

Tips

• Pick up decorations at the campground store or bring your own from home
• Parade routes wind through the main campground roads — ask at the activity center for the exact route
• Kids love riding in decorated carts — it's one of those Ocean Lakes memories that sticks
