Pirateland Family Campground

Overall it is a good campground with nice stuff but absence of parking and couple of other restrictions give it bad name. All i can say me and my family enjoyed our stay!!?

Fun campground but do not store your camper there. Our camper wash it while in their storage and they refuse to take responsibility. Head to Lakewood or ocean lakes for a more professional experience! Don’t risk your camper here!

Was happy with the office staff leading up to our stay. Our site was very big so that was a plus. Bathrooms were kept fairly clean. The food trucks and ‘café’ we’re good to eat at. We did not like the disregard of the golf cart rules; people forgot how to drive once they rented one. The pool was way to small and the lazy river was awful. I constantly saw 3 staff members standing around rather than helping get tubes or instructing people to float and not push through. Our neighbors thought their new camper was a disco and when patrol finally came to say something they turned it down then turned it right back up. Another neighbor left his German Shepard out all day with no supervision on a lead. Patrol doesn’t do anything here. Unfortunately we will not return to this campground.

This place is unfriendly to persons with disabilities. The campground is enormous and you are not allowed to drive around any type of motorized vehicle… not a car… not a scooter… not a golf cart… not even a street legal electric cart. There is no parking for a regular car. Interestingly, though, they do rent golf carts for use, but it will cost you a LOT of extra money ($ 200/​weekend)! Even though they rent golf carts for use around the park, they will not let you use your own… even for the disabled!!!

We have stayed twice now and both times were excellent! The brand new water spray park is wonderful for the kids and adults too! Staff is always friendly and helpful. We were right near the beach access so it was a little busy but that is to be expected. The pool and lazy river was great as well. You really never even have to leave the campground! We will definitely be regular attendants!

My family goes here nearly every year. We obviously love it because we keep going back. The only thing we *don’t* like is that you have to park your carts at 11pm, but as a family campground and having a toddler, I understand. The Internet is slow like some others have mentioned, but it is there. If you are flying there is a place in the main check in area that you can print your boarding passes, check weather, etc. There aren’t many pirate themed activities, but there is a kids splash pool that is very pirate-​y.
I completey disagree with bad service. We have been there for probably 8 years in a row and service is great. We only ever had one problem and it was with a patrol that we nick-​named Barney (he thought he was Barney bad a*$) but he wasn’t there this year so I’m thinking after all the incidents last year he is gone. I honestly believe the people who gave this place bad reviews set their standards too high. It’s a campground, not a hotel. If you go t a hotel for $ 70 a night, chances are it isn’t going to be like the hotel down the street for $ 300 a night. The outdoor pool is rarely crowded, the lazy river is small in the amount of space, but it turns so much into itself that it doesn’t feel small and you’re in it to float and relax, so who cares if you were floating in a 20 foot circle or a 1,000 foot river? The indoor pool is never crowded, but I prefer to be in the sun so I don’t go there. The beach always has room to accommodate you. The arcade is your basic arcade, and the food place is pretty good. They have breakfast and then a lunch/​dinner menu, as well as an ice cream parlor that you can order inside or from an outside window. This year we had 2 camp sites and 5 cabins, over 25 people, and 10 golf carts. If that doesn’t speak volumes the I don’t know what does.
ETA:I forgot to mention that they have 3 handicap accessible devices to help get people with disabilities into the pool safely. I witnessed first hand a man who was disabled and in a wheel chair (not sure of disability because it’s none of my business) and they had a machine that lowers that person into the pool in a chair type thing. The family members then help get him off. They have on foe the outdoor pool, lazy river, and indoor pool. I have never seen these but think it’s pretty amazing that they not only have 1, but 3.

Fun fun place. Don’t count on having connectivity to the free internet though. It’s slow as molasses and drops your connection constantly. Wasted a whole afternoon try to connect. You’ll need 3G or 4G service if you must keep in touch with work

Nothing Pirate about Pirate land. Nice facility however they exaggerated much. The good: the beach is very nice. The pool is nice as is the facility in general. Keep in mind you are paying $ 70 so this place should be immaculate. Its far from it.
The bad: Attitude! I feel bad for the people working here. The Main Supervisor (Connie) is RUDE. The people know very little about their place. For example, there is supposedly fishing. I asked what kind of fish were in their pond. All 3 people at the desk didn’t know anything about it.. The restrooms are not cleaned. They rent golf carts ($ 50/​day) and stupid teenagers driving too fast with loud music all day long throughout. The water park is nothing more than a kiddie splash area. The lazy river is about 100 yards in circumference (very small).
Lastly. Our last day a small hurricane was due in so we wanted to leave early. Not that we were afraid of getting hurt but thus place has a pool and a beach. That’s it. They not only would not give us our money back but when I Very Nicely asked for the owners contact information Connie with a rude scowl whipped out her card and said «here’s my contact information».
The MOST disappointing thing was the complete lack of pirates and pirate activities. There were a couple of sword fight activities scheduled when we booked our vacation here but for four days ALL sword activities were cancelled. You might also expect some employees to dress up and say «Arrr» to the kids but NOTHING. Of course you can buy pirate crap in their store.
I can tell you the people that own and run this place don’t care because lots of people come. If they paid there staff better and concentrated on making this place fun and positive the experience would have been so much better.
There are plenty of RV places along the beach. Don’t overpay and go here.

I like it here. .the wife and daughter likes it. good stores are close by. .golf carts are annoying but that’s everywhere here. reasonable rates. we will be back

We stayed here for six days in March although we had originally planned on staying for three days. We really enjoyed this place, even though it was off-​season and most amenities were closed, we were as close as possible to the beach.
The cost to stay here also was a huge factor; at only $ 31 a day, we could not have asked for any better place to stop our RV. We had full hookups, a decent sized space, and Cable TV.
I was leery of this place, afraid it would be chinsy or overly family (yes I have my family with me, but we do not really enjoy full-​on-​family experience places). This campground is a campground with limited pirate theming, perfect for us.
Would I recommend this park? Absolutely. Would we come back? Absolutely.
Informational: We travel in a 36′ Class A RV.

Our family loves this campground! It’s heaven on earth for kids — pool, lazy river, water plaza, paddle boats, mini golf, arcade, camp store, golf carts, playgrounds, oceanfront, fun activities scheduled throughout the day, and lots of space to run around, ride bikes, fish and play outside. They have church services on Sundays and things like bingo and karaōke in the evenings.
It’s a great value because we can grill at our campsite when were tired of eating out and the kids are entertained all day.
It gets a little crowded during the peak summer weeks, so avoid those if you don’t enjoy the dynamics of being around a lot of people.

Great place to camp at the beach. Yes, you do have to rent a golf cart, you can not bring your own, yes, no motorcycles inside the park either. I can live with those rules. I store my RV here, so it is where I always go. I have always found the staff to be helpful and friendly. It is more laid back than the other 2 campgrounds close by. My kids and grandkids always enjoy there time here. Can’t wait for some warmer weather so I can get back down. I have camped there in January, cold, but still fun.

Pirateland is a great campground. We did visit on the weekend and week before Labor Day so it was very quiet and relaxing. I can see that it would be crowded when busy. I would highly recommend a premium spot with shelter and concrete. Pool is very nice, beach access is awesome.

1. All about the money, not at all about customer service.
The campground is packed tight. The guy that pulled into his spot beside mine asked me to move my picnic table so he can open his slide-​out. My slide-​out was very close to my neighbor’s picnic table. Pirateland looked like a Wal-​Mart parking lot for RVs.
2. Too many restrictions. Golf cart rental is not an option. It is mandatory. You cannot use your own golf cart. You must rent theirs or walk. You are not allowed motorcycles. There is an impound lot at the entrance for all motorcycles. SERIOUSLY! If you are single (regardless of age), you may not camp there without a parent or legal guardian.
3. The roads are very tight. Maneuvering through the place, pulling a 30 foot travel trailer was a challenge. I couldn’t leave my pull through site by pulling through. The turn was too tight. I had to back out and take the road behind me.
4. Unaccommodating. Yes, there is a hot tub and indoor pool. A little small, though. I tried to take my kids up there once, and the place was full. To capacity. With creepy old dudes in Speedos.
Went to Sunday service with wife and mother-​in-​law (mobility impaired). Had to drive. No established parking places anywhere near their chapel. There were a few parking spots near the indoor pool, they they were filled with rental golf carts. Ended up leaving the campground to find a real church.
Will never return. Ever. Period.

This is a family campground that has everything you could possibly want. Cable, sewer, electric, and water hook ups at every camp site. A good size lazy river and outdoor pool, an indoor pool and hot tub in the winter, and daily golf cart rental option. There is great beach access and the campground is clean and family friendly. I’ve been coming here for over 6 years now, and I would recommend it to anyone. It may not be as «nice» as ocean lakes a few blocks away may be, but the lack of crowd is nice it’s fairly quite and I have never felt anything but safe here.
