I've been going to OC all my life. My dad had a night club there in the 70s. I spent my summers there. As an adult, even though I owned a house at Deep Creek, I took my FAMILY to OC. Stating OC is not family friendly is BS. I also own a condo in OC and go just about every weekend. Every resort town has isolated incidents. If you want to avoid the crowds in OC, go in the spring or fall but keep in mind, a lot of the attractions will be closed. PM me if you have specific questions.
