One more thing many of you may be interested to know, Ocean Hills has (for a $25 set-up fee) FREE, secure, RV parking based on a first come, first served basis. Last I looked, they had plenty of open spaces but you need to verify there is available space before you pull up to the gate. For a short video clip of the RV parking, CLICK HERE.

Just be aware that someone living in the household needs to be 55 or better.
