What’s Happening at Sea Pirate Campground for Classic & Antique Car Show Weekend 2026?
There are certain weekends at Sea Pirate Campground that just feel like tradition.
The smell of breakfast at the campsite. Kids running off to meet new campground friends. Families walking together across the field. A hayride rolling through the campground in the evening. And this weekend, something extra special is pulling into Sea Pirate Campground.
It is time for the Sea Pirate Campground Classic & Antique Car Show Weekend 2026, happening Friday, May 29 through Sunday, May 31, 2026.
A Sea Pirate classic! Get it?
This weekend is all about family fun, campground memories, creative activities, classic cars, antique cars, and a Saturday main event that campers look forward to every year.
Whether you love vintage vehicles, unique cars, family camping, weekend activities, or simply spending time outdoors near Long Beach Island, this is a great weekend to be at Sea Pirate Campground.
Main Event: Classic & Antique Car Show
The main event this weekend is the Classic and Antique Car Show on Saturday, May 30.
Campers and visitors can take a walk around the field and enjoy a collection of unique cars, classic vehicles, antique favorites, and eye-catching rides. It is the kind of event that brings generations together.
Grandparents may point out cars they remember from years ago.
Parents may find themselves saying, “My dad had one like that.”
Kids may simply pick their favorite color, biggest engine, coolest shape, or shiniest wheels.
And that is what makes a weekend like this so special. It is not just a car show. It is a family memory in the making.
Friday, May 29 Activities
Jumping Pillow — 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM
Start the weekend with one of the kids’ favorite campground activities: the Jumping Pillow.
This is a great way for children to burn off energy, laugh with friends, and jump right into the weekend fun.
Important reminder: Wristbands must be worn and will be checked.
Hayride and Meet Kiwi — 8:20 PM to 9:00 PM
Friday night continues with a Sea Pirate favorite: the hayride.
Before hopping on, head over to the office to meet Kiwi, Sea Pirate Campground’s mascot. Kiwi will be there before the hayride begins, making this a perfect chance for kids to say hello and enjoy a fun campground moment.
The hayride starts at 8:30 PM, and Kiwi will leave then.
For many families, these are the memories kids bring up later:
“Remember when we met Kiwi before the hayride?”
That is what Sea Pirate Campground is all about.
