And Yes the OL site back from the beach are not small. But the ones close to the beach are. Or all we stayed in have been, and we stay as close to the beach as possible. Usually first row.
Plus the quietness after 11 PM.
This poster either sleeps light or wants a state park experience at 11pm during the summer at an ocean front beach resort. Can't have both.

Ocean Lakes has lots of activities for the kids. Can't speak for Pirateland, as we have never stayed there, Ocean Lakes seems to have more for the kids than Lakewood, as far as activities. Ocean Lakes also has religous services and activities. While Ocean Lakes allows alcohol consumption at your site, Lakewood states you can not. However, you see it just as much at Lakewood and the secuirty drives right by them and says nothing.
The sites at Ocean Lakes are not smaller than Lakewood. Can't speak for Pirateland again except from what I could see from Lakewood. Go to google and pull up an aerial view. You can see that there is literally no difference. Ocean Lakes will let you reserve specific sites. They tell you exactly the size of the lot, if you can open your slides (and if certain slide will be obstructed), distance to the beach and distance to a bath house. Lakewood only lets you pick an area. They assign you the site when you arrive. The last time I looked up on Piratelands website (and just reconfirmed), you can only pick a type of site. No specific site. If I remember correctly, Ocean Lakes also has the shortest period requiring a certain amount of nights during the summer time. I also believe MBTP, requires a longer stay than the other places do.

A lot of misinformation and it mostly stems from what appears to be those that loath the OL experience. Hands down they have larger sites than Lakewood and Pirateland. We drove through Pirateland. Sardines and just was not inviting. We walk through Lakewood, sardines. Granted OL has more activity in terms of golf carts but they don't bother us and we love that anyways.
Granted, there are sites in certain sections that are smaller than others in OL but it is 100% better than the others.
I have never had a problem parking an f250 CC, 36' TT, Easy up, awning out and a golf cart all on my site. Everything but the camper was on the grass in front of the camper. The concrete slab his wide enough to accommodate the camper and the awning mat(9' wide) to give you an idea.
