In November, the Oceanside Chamber Board of Directors voted to offer its support to the Ocean Kamp project that will take place at the site of the old drive-in theaters. Located across 92 acres along SR 76 and Mission Avenue, Ocean Kamp will feature a wave pool, a 300-key resort hotel and airstream glamping village, 126,000 SF of office, retail and restaurants and extensive indoor and outdoor meeting space.
The project will preserve 20 acres of onsite open space and plan for 700 much needed housing units with a mix of for-rent, for-sale and affordable products. It will also feature a new connection to the San Luis Rey trail. This new trail link will be a great resource for multi-modal transit into the downtown, Oceanside Transit Center, harbor and further east into the Valley.
This project creates a new destination for both locals and visitors and has a tremendous potential to attract high quality employers to our city. Over the next ten years, Ocean Kamp is projected to contribute over $80 million in revenues to the City of Oceanside and will immediately create more than 1,500 new jobs, improved infrastructure, and a state-of-the-art wave pool that will generate international attention.
