Ocean Kamp to include 300-room hotel, 700 condominiums
Ocean Kamp, an adventure-themed hotel and community built around an artificial surf lagoon, received the Oceanside Planning Commission’s unanimous approval Monday for construction in the San Luis Rey River Valley.
All the guest lodging will be centered on a 3.5-acre surf lagoon that will generate waves of varying sizes. When the wave machine is off, the lagoon will be available for swimming, stand-up paddle-boarding and other aquatic activities.Also in the plans are 11 separate commercial, retail and office buildings, an 18,000-square-foot conference building, and up to 700 dwellings divided into areas of for-sale condominiums and rental apartments. Among other amenities are about 1.
About 5.2 million gallons of water will be required to fill the wave lagoon and about 4 million gallons will be lost annually to evaporation, he said. An 18-hole golf course in California uses about 90 million gallons annually, according to the California Alliance for Golf. The resort offers “expensive pay-to-play recreation that uses water during a drought,” she said, and it will take business away from other hotels in the area that have recently opened or are planned, such as the Inns at Buena Vista Creek along state Route 78 and two hotels approved for the city’s El Corazon property.Other speakers said the resort’s location is too close to the Oceanside airport, which has had two fatal crashes so far this year.
Grading began in 2019 at the site, which is along the San Luis Rey River three miles east of the ocean. Contractors trucked in 450,000 cubic yards of fill material to raise the property above the flood plain.
