Hey, I'm gonna get you some oats, and I'll be back.
Okay, come on, girl.
LAUREN: Alright.
Sun Outdoors Frontier Town is 200 acres.
We have about 700 campsites.
We have full hookup RV sites, regular water and electric RV sites, and primitive, just tent sites.
I would describe Sun Outdoors Frontier Town, it's a place where you can bring your family, you can bring your kids, and you can reconnect with everyone in a really fun and exciting way.
In 1959, our Western theme park opened, that's where cowboys and cowgirls from all over the country would come here and perform rodeo shows and Native American shows for the general public around Ocean City and Berlin.
But they needed a place to stay, so they've set up camp in the woods behind town.
So they started building a campground, and in 1963 the campground was born.
So, one of our biggest attractions here is our waterpark.
It opened in 1977, and just a few years ago, we put in our brand new Maryland slide.
It's what we lovingly call it, in the bright pride of Maryland colors.
It is one of three slides on the tower, and then we have two other slides that feed into our lazy river.
Then we also do have our kiddy pool, which is the wagon pool for the littler ones to splash around in.
So Lauren and Laurita are staying in one of our deluxe cabins.
They are more like the comforts from home.
You're gonna have a shower, a bathroom, full kitchen, and two bedrooms.
It sleeps up to six people, and it's more like the fun of camping, but you get a bed.
LAUREN: Aw.
LAURITA: Oh, this is cute.
LAUREN: This really reminds me so much of the summer camp that I went to.
This, like, this gives total sleep-away camp vibes.
LAURITA: All the wood, right?
LAUREN: Yes.
I love all the wood, and this little table with the bench!
LAURITA: That's very cute.
And you know what?
As soon as you come in, this looks like someplace you just want to take a load off your feet and sit down.
LAUREN: Mm-hmm.
LAURITA: There's our kitchen.
LAUREN: We have a full kitchen.
LAURITA: I love it.
Okay, let's go look.
And a full-sized refrigerator, we could stock this baby up.
LAUREN: Ooh, I think I found your room.
LAURITA: No, I know you've always wanted bunk beds, so I'll give that to you.
Here's my room.
This is like the mama's room.
LAUREN: I'm the baby.
LAURITA: Aw.
Hi baby.
And here's the bathroom.
And you know what I like about this place?
I see a lot of the cowboy motif everywhere, especially on a light fixture.
LAUREN: I was about to say that.
LAURITA: Isn't that something?
LAUREN: Well, I saw a grill outside.
What do you think about doing some hot dogs tonight?
LAURITA: You know I love a good grilled hot dog.
LAUREN: Okay, let's go get some hot dogs.
LAURITA: Okay, girl.
LAUREN: Hot dog!
LAURITA: Hot diggity dog cowgirl.
LAUREN: Today was such a great day.
I'm so glad I was able to experience Assateague with you.
LAURITA: Me too.
And the fact that you caught a crab!
And we got a chance to see the horses.
LAUREN: Fantastic.
LAURITA: It was a good day.
LAUREN: Well... LAURITA: And this is the end of a good day.
LAUREN: It is.
LAURITA: A grilled hot dog.
LAUREN: Cheers.
LAURITA: Cheers to you.
