Operation Update

Ahoy! Exciting changes are underway at PirateLand. As we move into a new chapter, we remain committed to providing the family-friendly camping experience you know and love.

Background

Since 1966, PirateLand has operated across multiple leased parcels. In late 2021, the northern portion of the property was sold to Equity Lifestyle Properties.

• PirateLand’s lease for that parcel ended February 15, 2025

• PirateLand now operates exclusively on the southern parcels

• These areas continue to operate as PirateLand Campground

Our focus remains on delivering a high-quality guest experience during this transition.

Transition Updates

We are currently in a transition period as PirateLand and Carolina Shores prepare for separate operations.

At this time:

• Roads and amenities are accessible to guests of both properties

• Additional updates will be shared as changes occur
