Lakewood Camping Resort 2025 Annual Lease Rules & Regulations

Lakewood Camping Resort, Inc. (“Lakewood”) has established the following Rules and Regulations (“Rules”) for Lakewood Camping Resort. The Rules are incorporated into and form a part of each Annual Site Lease Agreement (“Lease”) between Lakewood and Lessees of the Resort, including their family members, guests and visitors (“Lessee”). By entering into the Lease, each Lessee agrees to abide by the Rules, as they may be reasonably amended from time to time by Lakewood in its discretion. Lakewood will provide written notice to Lessees of any amendments to the Rules. Such notice will be delivered via email and posted online and in the Lakewood Properties Sales Office. Violation of the Rules constitutes a default under the Lease, entitling Lakewood to pursue any remedies available under the Lease and applicable South Carolina law.

Please note that new or additional changes are highlighted in blue.

Please note that changes from last year’s rules are highlighted in red.

The following are the Rules applicable to Lakewood Camping Resort, effective the date shown below:

    1. All leases are on a calendar year basis only and expire at the conclusion of December 31 of that year, unless terminated earlier as authorized in the Lease.
    2. Upon expiration of the Lease, Lakewood reserves the right in its absolute and sole discretion to enter into a subsequent Lease with Lessee. Each Lease contains an express acknowledgement that it is for a stated term and that no representation has been made regarding its renewal or extension.

    2. The lease fee is payable in full prior to the commencement of the lease term. Payments delinquent by five (5) days or more constitute default under the Lease agreement.
    3. Picnic tables are not included in annual leases. Tables will not be replaced or provided for new or renewed leases. Those caught taking or trading for new tables will be fined a penalty commensurate to the price of the picnic tables. New tables may be purchased from Lakewood for $250.00.
  1. Permitted Occupancy and Use
    1. Uses. Lakewood Camping Resort is a private camping resort for families and shall be used solely for private activities by the Lessee, authorized guests, and family members. No commercial activity is permitted without prior written consent of Lakewood Camping Resort.

    1. Termination of Lease. In the event of improper conduct as determined by Lakewood, or for violation of any of these Rules as they may be amended from time to time, or for default by Lessee, Lakewood may terminate the Annual Lease and require Lessee vacate the resort. If Lessee fails to pay any fines due as a result of a violation, Lakewood reserves the right to refuse to renew the Lease.
    2. Violation and Notice. Any violation of a provision of the Rules and Regulations which is not corrected within fifteen (15) days of notice of such violation from Lakewood to Lessee shall entitle Lakewood to terminate Lessee’s Annual Lease Agreement and/or require the violators to leave Lakewood Camping Resort. Notice shall be deemed given upon delivery in hand or deposited in the mail by registered or certified letter.
    3. Jurisdiction and Venue. The Rules and Lease shall be enforced under and in connection with the laws of the state of South Carolina. Time is of the essence under these Rules. All parties voluntarily submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of general jurisdiction, including Summary Court, in Horry County, South Carolina and agree that the venue in all cases brought by or against Lakewood shall be in Horry County.
    4. Recovery and Remedies. Lakewood shall be entitled to all remedies at law and equity, as well as those set forth in the Lease; additionally, Lakewood shall be entitled to recover all costs of enforcement, including reasonable attorney’s fees. 
  1. Liability
    1. Lakewood shall not be liable or responsible for fire, theft, loss, or damages of any kind to any camping unit, vehicle, or other personal property of Lessee. Neither shall Lakewood be liable nor responsible for personal injuries to any person on the premises. By signing hereunder, Lessee specifically releases Lakewood, its employees, and its agents of all responsibility and liability for such damages or losses and further shall hold Lakewood harmless and indemnify it for the aforesaid where applicable during the Lease.
  1. Waiver
    1. Lakewood retains the right, at its sole discretion, to waive, in writing, any one or more of these Rules and Regulations with respect to one or more Lessees and other individuals. Waiver of any rule or right shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rule or right unless expressly stated therein, nor shall a waiver on behalf of any specified individual be deemed a waiver for any unspecified individuals. In addition, the failure of Lakewood to enforce any provision of these Rules and Regulations in particular circumstance shall not constitute a waiver of such provisions nor shall it estop Lakewood from enforcing such provisions at a later time or under other circumstances. 
  1. Amendment
    1. These Rules may be amended at any time by Lakewood, and every effort will be made to mail any change to Lessee at the address provided to Lakewood; however, posting the amendment in the campground office, and/or printing the amendment in the “Lakewood Map” distributed by Lakewood, and/or posting on any/all Lakewood Camping Resort social media account will deem the amendment in immediate full effect.
