We are thrilled and honored to announce that Lakewood Camping Resort has been named the 2024 Mega Park of the Year by the Outdoor Hospitality Industry (OHI)! This prestigious recognition is a direct result of the dedication and hard work of our exceptional team, as well as the ongoing support of the loyal guests we are privileged to serve.
In October, OHI recognized Lakewood as a finalist for the Awards of Excellence, noting that the finalists “are industry treasures—constantly elevating standards through innovative, forward-thinking practices.” The award was formally presented to us at the Outdoor Hospitality Conference and Expo in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, during a special ceremony on Tuesday.
Lakewood Camping Resort owner Blayne Perry, Business Operations Manager Courtney Mauldin, and General Manager Kevin Strickland accepted the award on the team’s behalf.
This award is a true reflection of our unwavering commitment to enhancing the guest experience for all those who have made Lakewood their “home away from home” for more than 65 years.
The OHI Awards of Excellence celebrate the outstanding achievements of individuals, businesses, and parks within the outdoor hospitality industry. Categories of recognition include campground operations, customer service, marketing, innovation, environmental stewardship, and community involvement. These awards inspire us all to continually strive for excellence and set new standards within the industry.
Lakewood Camping Resort would also like to extend our congratulations to all the recipients in the other award categories!
