Need a starting point? Check out our Park Map to guide you on your shopping adventure!
This year, NO SET-UPS WILL BE ALLOWED IN THE GREEN SPACE due to safety and traffic concerns. All sales must take place on your lot, so plan accordingly and keep the roadways clear. As always, please be cautious when navigating through the sales areas, as traffic will be heavier than usual with excited buyers and spectators. Be mindful when parking, making sure not to block roads or driveways.
Please note that emergency pump outs will not be available on the day of the garage sales due to the difficulty of maneuvering trucks through the busy traffic. Our Maintenance Team encourages members to plan ahead and schedule pump-outs in advance for Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday to avoid any issues. We appreciate your cooperation in ensuring a smooth and safe event for everyone!

Our Sandy Pines Flea Market features around 55 vendor booths available for your shopping delight, from tasty treats to fine arts and crafts. This is always a jam-packed event and although we love our pets, please leave them at home as this much stimulation is not a good environment for our furry little friends. Flea Markets are not open to the general public but are for the enjoyment of Sandy Pines Members, their guests, and our guest campers. Only Members at Sandy Pines can be vendors.
Looking to become a vendor? Dive into the excitement by registering on your Member Portal or contacting Member Service today!
Mark your calendars for our upcoming Flea Market extravaganzas:

5/24/25 | Memorial Weekend Flea Market
7/5/25 | Independence Day Flea Market
8/9/25 | Christmas in August Flea Market
8/30/25 | Labor Day Flea Market
Pancake Breakfasts

Who doesn’t love a tall, steamy stack of delicious pancakes? Slather them in butter and syrup, what could be better? Get a stack of original, blueberry or chocolate chip cakes with a side of sausage and juice, milk, water, or coffee. The Sandy Pines Chapel Committee hosts Pancake Breakfasts during the holiday Flea Markets under our Flea Market Area Picnic Shelter.
Flea Market Details

All spaces are $45 each and can only be reserved by Sandy Pines Members. Members may reserve spaces for Associate Members, family, or friends who will need to be registered and signed in as guests with a guest pass displayed in their vehicles. Items not complying with the Park rules, may not be sold. (i.e. firearms, weapons, fireworks, etc.) Please see the Sandy Pines Handbook for more information. Food licenses are required to sell food. Refunds are not available for cancellations.
Spaces are 10 x 20 feet and are marked by silver discs in the ground. Please double-check that you are in the correct spot before setting up. Please be courteous and neighborly with your fellow vendors.
Setup runs from 7 am to 9 am. The Flea Market runs from 9 am until 2 pm. Tear-down runs from 2 pm to 5 pm. Please adhere to setup and sale hours for fairness to all vendors.
Vendors may park their vehicles in the Maintenance lot or at their Flea Market Spot. Please do not park in office parking lots, block Maintenance Garage Doors, or Park & Garden Store Access as this disrupts the flow of Saturday park business and can cause issues in emergencies.
Vendors and their Member sponsors are responsible for removing their own boxes and trash. Please do NOT leave trash beside the barrels; you must take it with you. Failure to do so will risk citation to the Member; the area is under surveillance.
In case of inclement weather, the Flea Market may be canceled or rescheduled. This decision may be made as late as Saturday morning. Alerts will be sent via text and email to members in our directory. Alerts will also be posted on our website in the Blog & News Section and posted on our Facebook Page. Sorry, there are no refunds for cancellations.
