Memorial Day Weekend marks something special every year. It’s the unofficial beginning of summer. It’s the first three-day weekend of the camping season. It’s where kids begin making memories they’ll talk about long after summer ends.
And at Sea Pirate Campground, Memorial Day Weekend is more than simply a long weekend on the calendar.
It’s hayrides and laughter.
It’s hearing music drift through the campground at night.
It’s watching kids run off with new friends and hearing those familiar words:
“Mom… can we stay one more day?”
Most importantly, Memorial Day is also a time to pause and remember the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country. As families gather together this weekend, we honor and remember those who gave everything for the freedoms we enjoy today.
As we begin another summer season together, we invite everyone to celebrate, relax, reconnect, and create memories with family and friends.
