Quite an older park with a lot of permanents and few transient sites available, but it was adequate for our purpose. Their Pier restaurant named Croakers is an awesome place to eat. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Perfect location within feet of a glorious beach. Sites are small and unshaded, but no problem for us as we are not towing a car. We managed to get Wi-Fi permanently somehow, but think that was a glitch. Its either free for 15 minutes a day or you have to purchase by the day, week, month; which I think is wrong when the price of a nightly stay is so high. All staff friendly. Showers and bathrooms could do with a bit of updating but clean nevertheless. Nice fresh seafood at the local bar. However there is another nice beach bar a bit further up the beach, which is attached to a hotel if you just want a beer; think they also do take-out food. If you just want to spend some time on the beach, this site is perfect. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Fabulous location, right on the beach in the heart of Myrtle Beach. The sites on the beach are small but that's to be expected. We still had room to set up our fire pit even with our large fifth wheel and truck on the site. The office staff were friendly and very efficient. I had trouble getting on the wifi but, to be fair, I didn't go back to the office to ask for help. The park is connected to a very long pier and campers are provided with free passes to it, which is a nice perk. We didn't eat at the on site restaurant but the people across from us highly recommended it. With miles of beach to walk and lots of golf nearby, we very much enjoyed our stay here. We would stay at this park again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We had a premium oceanfront site and found it to be pretty tight. I didn't have much trouble getting my big rig in and out, but the sites themselves are pretty much shoehorned in to each other. Our neighbors were nice. The staff we came into contact with at the office, trading post, and pier were all pleasant. Even the guy who came around to pick up our trash each day was chatty and friendly. Lots and lots of perms and seasonals, which appears to be the trend at these so-called RV resorts/campgrounds. On the positive side, the weather was fabulous, the pier is quite impressive, and the campground is relatively quiet. I have no reason to not patronize this campground again, but I want to explore other options first. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Sites are very close together. Folks in Trading Post and at Pier were very friendly, however others were not. I suppose it is the location, however of the 700 sites showing only approx 200 are available to overnight campers. The rest are permanent. Have not been to Myrtle Beach for 25 years and will probably not go back. Wi-Fi is free for 15 minutes a day. You can purchase by the day, week, month, however folks in office did not let use know this. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was the best park I ever stayed at. The sites are huge for ocean front. We had a back in site #29: I could see and hear the waves crashing on shore. The staff were the nicest we have ever meet. There is a Wal-Mart a block down the road and a bunch of stores and restaurants. The beach was clean; not too good for shelling, just small ones. The pier was very nice. It will cost you $6.50 to fish off the pier, but it's free to walk it. The pier goes 1206 feet out into ocean . This campground is well worth going to. If we could, we'd repack the RV and leave now to go back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Huge campground along the ocean. Initial sites seem to be for year round residents. Back spots for visitors, some pull through-mostly small but ours (P-19) was a corner site and the largest. Tight turns but doable, as cars parked in front of rigs. Each site had a picnic table, with some grass around. Area is very sandy - seems to get everywhere. Wi-fi $9.95 per day (!) but connected immediately without need to sign up with password. Cellphones worked fine - Verizon & AT&T. Receive tickets for pier at check in. Price reflects AAA discount. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a huge campground/resort and we stayed here primarily because it offered beach access (my wife is a sea glass collector). Staff was friendly, the site was just a short distance from the beach with a small shelter and table...nothing notable; but for the price, this was definitely a bargain in this neighborhood!

We stayed here for 4 nights in July. The employees were extremely friendly and helpful. We stayed in a 35' MH, about ten sites back from the beach. Easy beach access. The lanes are a bit tight: especially with vehicles parked in front. Just drive with care, and you'll be fine. We had 6 teenage girls with us, and they had a blast! We rarely saw them. We were able to use our slides, and awning, and have a tent on our site as well! This was our first trip to Myrtle Beach: we'll definitely return to this campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Well, I must say, I am glad we did not turn and run after the first hour of being at Apache, which is exactly what we wanted to do. When we arrived on Sunday it was terribly hot, our daughter was sick (neither of which was anyone's fault), and the site we were given was very hard to get into. It took several minutes for my husband to get us backed in due to the narrow road. By the time we were set up, he had decided he hated the place. But after a short rest and a visit to urgent care for our daughter, things began to look a little better. We made a trip down to the beach, walked on the pier, and made arrangements to get a golf cart the next morning. We ended up having a great week at Apache! The sites are close, but from what we have seen, every other place like this is not much different. The golf carts were not near as bad as I have heard and the campground was rather quiet where we were. We made purchases at the campstore a couple of times and used the laundry facilities. We do not normally use the bathhouses, but do check them out, and the restrooms here seemed clean. The shower floors looked a little dated but also appeared clean. The garbage was picked up daily and all the staff was friendly and helpful. The beach was very clean! My husband and son fished from the pier several times and we enjoyed the live music one night. Apache might not be as large or as new as some of the other places, but it worked out just fine for us! We will stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We actually only entered the park to get access to the pier. I have to say that I am so glad that we did not stay here. It is more of a trailer park that looks like someone decided to fit some campsites into. The sites are extremely close and the lawns around a lot of the permanent homes were overgrown. This is not a place I would want to camp. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground is a little rundown; however, if you are looking for peace and quiet, you've gone to the right place. We came from one of the large campgrounds in the area where there were non-stop golf carts and people blaring their music. When we arrived here it was much more relaxing. The roads are paved but the sites are not and there isn't a whole lot of gravel (luckily for us it did not rain during our stay). There were a ton of ants but that's to be expected with grassy areas. The beach was quite large and beautiful. It is a lot less crowded than other areas. The bathrooms were pretty bad. First of all, they are not air conditioned and it must have been over 100 degrees in there. I saw the staff go in and clean so I'm not sure if it was because of the other campers or what but by the end of the evening, the toilets were overflowing, there was a mess all over the floors and they stunk to high heaven. It's probably a nice place to go if you are self-contained and have no need for the restrooms or showers and don't mind battling a few ants. Overall we had a nice time. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

First time here in Myrtle Beach. Nice campground. Big place but the sites were not that close to each other. Holiday weekend so it was packed. We were 7 spaces from the beach so it wasn't a long walk to the ocean. Have to pay extra for wi-fi which I didn't like especially for the price you have to pay to stay here. Friendly staff. Good cable. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stay at this campground twice a year; usually for 3-4 nights while we visit family in the area. The staff are always good to us and we always get a site on the main st. within 5 or 6 sites of the beach. The sites in this area are all back in sites, we have a 40' RV and with a little skill its not too difficult to back in. The only complaint I have is the Wi-Fi; this campground and the Myrtle Beach Travel Park near by, which we have also stayed at many times, are the only RV parks that charge for Wi-Fi service. If you're there for only a couple days, it costs $9.99 a day for something almost all campgrounds that I have stayed at provide for free (like a loss leader). Because it's Myrtle Beach you have to watch the rates, they change seasonally. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great family campground, quiet and everyone you met was so friendly and courteous. The pier was fun to walk out on. The only thing keeping me from giving it a 10 was the wireless internet by Connectfreely. It would go down every day at 5:00 PM and the staff didn't know why. I even tried to email the company Connectfreely and they never responded. Highly recommend the campground though. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We used this campground as a base camp to do sight seeing and exploring Myrtle Beach. We had a "Beach Site" and they are tight, very tight. They have a covered picnic table and I had to keep moving trailer over in order to be able to open awning. Trailers are packed in like a sardine can, but our neighbors were great, thank goodness. If you do not like crowds or golf carts this is not the campground for you. They do not enforce the licensed driver aspect of driving carts we noticed. The pier is great and the beach was great, even though we did not use them much, as I stated we did sight seeing, as we had not been to Myrtle Beach before. I would probably go to a different campground next time, but if others were not available I certainly would not pass this one up, but there are others nearby that are newer and have a better curb appeal. We stayed here in a 36 foot fifth wheel trailer (with two slide outs), with a long bed crew cab dually, so the parking at the site was tight. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We actually did not stay in this park and I will explain why. I called for a reservation for our 41" motorhome. They informed us that they had one pull through site available and that they were holding it for us. We called again around 8 pm because we were running late and they said no problem just check in with the guard when you arrive. We arrived around 10pm and the guard gave us a map to the sight. However, he drew the route incorrectly which put us on the wrong street for the pull through. The streets were very narrow and we had to back down the street to go the right direction. We then headed to our spot however it was occupied! No pull through sites were open. We went back to the front and the guard said there were two back in sites still available that we could use instead however it turned out that those two spots were completely full of cars. There were no spots available to park. We ultimately left and spent the night in the Bass Pro Shop parking lot. The streets were very narrow and there were a lot of permanent trailers with crazy brickwork that jutted too close to the street. We would not attempt to stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The management of this park has slipped in the last couple years in my opinion. The site reservation system has become a mess, and our site we were sent to had people on it already! Ended up back away from the ocean even though there were tons of open sites for the entire length of the stay much closer (3 weeks). Also, with hundreds of open sites the management put someone on the site right beside us, with not even one space in between. That is not a sound practice with that many sites open. Seasonal motorcycle rules were not enforced and being awakened by someones Harley outside of quiet hours is not my idea of a vacation. We are heavily contemplating moving our standing yearly reservation to another park after 5 years of going to Apache. We camped here in a Motorhome.

My Best Campground is Apache Oceanfront Family Campground at Myrtle Beach. We had an ocean front campsite with full hookup. We also had a covered picnic table. The campground has the longest pier on the East Coast, also a Croakers Restaurant and a Game Room. The Employees of the campground were pleasant and helpful. We will definitely camp at this campground again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We enjoyed our stay here. Definitely will go back. We loved parking our rig and looking out our kitchen window at the dunes and the ocean. Left the windows open and could listen to the waves crashing. This is a massive campground but well run. The pier is interesting and the location is convenient for several conventions we go to at the beach. Sites up front can be a little tight. Those who simply must have paved roads and very nicely finished sites will be disappointed! I will gladly trade those in for the views this CG has compared to the ones right up the road. Just an opinion. YMMV! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed at Apache in the 1st week June of 2005. We thought that it was a fairly nice campground. We had a ocean front site really close to the bathhouse which was nice but the air conditioning was broke in the bathhouse and it was miserably hot. They repaired the air on the day that we left to go home. I will have to admit that there is not a lot to do in the campground especially if you have kids. They have a very small gameroom, and swimming pool. The pier was very nice with nightly entertainment but you had to pay each and every time that you went out on it. We were there for a week and the CG was fairly empty until about the last 2 days before we left then it began to fill up very fast. I think that the CG is geared for people without children. We are coming back this year but we are going to stay at Pirateland and give it a try. We would probably stay here again but it would not be our first choice. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here because it was the only place we could get at the beach at such a late date. We were not impressed with the campground at all. We have not been back since. It was over priced! We rented a golf cart and didn't even get a full 24 hours. Most campground give you a 24 hour period for your rental. The beach was nice. The pier was nice. It was close to many things, but we just didn't like it! Too outdated and very small sites are probably the main reasons we weren't satisfied. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is the worst parking lot we've stayed at. The sites are awful. Our slides were hanging into the next site and we could not open the passenger door to our truck without hitting the camper. Our fifth wheel barely fit in the site. The fishing pier is interesting-but why do campers have to pay to fish on it? That was one of the reasons we came here but never used it. Fishing was done on the beach! Narrow roads - definitely not big rig (35')friendly. We were here in March of '05 - can't imagine staying here in the summer. Will never come back to this can of sardines. Beware, there are much better places in Myrtle Beach. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

In our confirmation, we were advised that we would have to pay a $100 security deposit.
On arrival I refused, told them they already had our money and that was it ! We were given our site and upon arrival found it to be very cramped. If we put our awning out , our couch was in the street, If our coach was on our space, our awning could not be put out. We have a HUGE 26 ft TT. Some of the popups had one end in the fence/bushes at the rear and their tongues on the road. Staff could not care less if everything was ok or if there was a problem. We were given pier tickets but when trying to use them after supper, we were told we would have to pay $3 per person because they had music. We pointed out that had we wanted to, we could have listened to the music from the beach. Nasty, hot bath houses greeted us. The campground is outdated and in my opinion caters to full time residents. I will not ever camp here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground has many unpaved roads. It is a good ole boy type of campground. The
permanent residents cannot do any wrong. Many permanent residents that do not need to follow any rules. The security is a joke (old men riding golf carts). Since the pier is within the campground, lots of strangers wandering around daily. Bathrooms and showers are old and in need of being updated and CLEANED! Stayed often enough know some things never change. We won't go back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Use extreme caution in visiting. My experience was unusual that I asked to view campsites before deciding and I asked for some sites that were empty (no reservations) and if I could set up our 30 foot travel trailer before returning to pay. I was assured that was fine. I found a acceptable site and started setting up when another RV'er pulled up saying I had his site. I told him my story and he found a security guard and told his story. Either way one of us was going to be unhappy. When he and security guard drove off, I assumed everything was OK and continued setting up. About 15 minutes later a "person" drove up and started berating me for being in a site rented to someone else. I asked her name and she spelled it out! I saw right away I could not comunicate with this person so I relented and pulled up stakes and returned to office. I asked to speak to the young lady who told us it was OK to set up before retuning to pay and she denied she said it. I then asked for the supervisor or owner. After a few minutes I explained my situation, told them I cannot believe I was talked to in such a manner and if a mistake was made, just say so and I could accept that. The supervisor was apologetic and offered a reduced rate if we would stay. We stayed and overall the park was OK, but I would probably stay at Myrtle Beach Travel Park on my next visit.

They are the only campground in Myrtle Beach area that accepts the Good Sam's discount. Very pleased with this area, have visted there for last 2 years. Will plan on camping there this summer also. Anyone would enjoy this campground. We camped here in a camper.

The rate reflects Passport American pricing. This is a gated park with many park models. They have activities and on Sunday a banana split for those interested. It was quiet and conveniently located.

Nice level sites, clean modern facilities. Cable TV included. Satellite iffy depending on site due to trees. Speaking of trees, we got bombarded with acorns, leaves, sticks falling from the trees. I had quite the mess on my slide covers and roof. Sites close to the road would be very loud with traffic sounds we got lucky and were off the road so wasn't too bad. Lots of members here and all were very nice to us. We will stay here again when in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is one great RV park. It is really close to shopping and entertainment. I have been here many times and plan on returning in the near future. The only draw back is traffic noise,which you should know,since the park is right on highway 17 in Myrtle Beach. My only heartburn is the cost of Wi-Fi. The cost is way out of line because nowadays Wi-Fi is a common amenity like electrical hook-ups. Otherwise this park could be rated a solid 10. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The price we quoted is the passport America price. They also add $1 per day for electric. We did not like the park because of all the rules and regulations. I do know that some rules and regulations are necessary but they have way to many. If you have a dog it can only go in the dog park. We have dogs and they tried to accommodate us by putting us across from the dog park but then you are backed up against a busy highway and get road noise all day/night long. We would not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Wow, what a great park. We have avoided this park even though it is close to home because of it's location in Myrtle Beach. That has been a mistake. Very quiet and laid back. Roads paved, sites level and concrete, good utilities and very friendly staff. Exactly what you would expect to find with the word "Resort" in it's name. Loved the church service on Sunday morning. Would have given it a 10 if there were no permanent mobile homes mixed in with the sites, but all the homes were very well maintained. Price reflects C2C rate. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Our favorite place to stay in Myrtle Beach! Although you are not staying directly on the beach, your RV will stay clean and you can keep your awning out for months at a time! We stay at Briarcliffe each summer! You can walk to several restaurants and shops. It is next door to Barefoot Landing! We will be back next summer! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We really enjoyed this park. It is very quiet and private. All the sites are paved and well maintained. We drove through some other campgrounds in the area and decided even though we are not ocean front we really preferred the camp ground because if wasn't over crowded. This campground was mainly older people which was fine with us. We did have our son (9) and nephew (7) with us and they were fine with the very large pool and playground. It is a very safe area and everyone was very friendly. We would definitely stay again. Also, the bath houses were some of the nicest we have every seen. They are cleaned frequently and have individual glass enclosed showers. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a great campground, with nice wide concrete slab spaces. All spaces are full hookup (Cable & WiFi are +$). Most of the spaces are shaded and the large pool is very nice with it's large shaded area. The location of the campground in Myrtle Beach is perfect, unless you want to be right on the beach which this is not. It's right next door to Barefoot Landing, which is a great place to just walk around or to eat at the many restaurants. Also located there are the Alabama Theater ("One") and the House of Blues. The show, One, at the Alabama Theater is a must for a mixture of singing, dancing and some of the best comedy I've seen. The all new "Pirates Voyage" that just recently opened to replace Dolly's "Stampede" is great fun for old and young alike and it's actually a bargain when you consider that dinner is included. Both shows are excellent for the whole family and should not be missed. The restaurant choices in Myrtle Beach are endless, as are the golf choices. The price shown for the campground is Passport America. The PA book says the rates are not valid during the summer but they honored them during the week (Sun to Thurs) for us. If the park didn't charge so much extra for cable ($5 a day) and WiFi ($3 a day) I would have given them a much higher rating. Also by not allowing PA rates for the weekend I think they're hurting themselves because it was clear that the park was clearing as the weekend was coming. Otherwise, the park really doesn't have any negatives to report. In any case, I would recommend this park and we will return on our next visit. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is great. Great location, well kept, very friendly workers and the bathrooms were some of the cleanest that we have seen. The only thing that would make this a "10" would be to have pull thru sites. We were lucky because the site we had, we were able to drive through a vacant site to our site. Made parking our 5th wheel very easy. Would definitely return to Myrtle Beach and this RV Park. Coast to Coast member. Stayed 6 nights. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

First time here, will come back. We had site # 235 trees for shade, site was large and we could set up without any issues. Pool was clean and they had activities. Staff overall was friendly. We did witness an interaction that was not up to par, but who knows what precipitated that situation. Our neighbors were friendly, helpful and a joy to have near us. Being a newbie they were more than willing to share insights. We hated to leave. Very close to many restaurants from reasonable to expensive..We ate at Barefoot landing-Umberto's, we go there every time we are here and have never been disappointed. CW and Wal-Mart if you need to pick up any last minute items. One draw back was we were close to Hwy 17. Personally once I fell asleep it was not an issue. Wi-Fi is available if you pay for it. We would come back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here at the Passport America Rate and that made it easily the best value campground in Myrtle Beach. We originally planned a two-week stay, but enjoyed the park and area so much that we extended an extra 10 days. In addition to Barefoot Landing, it's close to shopping, and has unlimited choices in restaurants, the beach was close enough for easy access. The only negative that we found was weak WiFi. The campground was very well maintained. We camped here in a Motorhome.

While the sites are a bit tight, I had little trouble getting my 35' motorhome parked and slide-out/awnings extended with sufficient space to park my towed vehicle. Check-in was easy and the staff was friendly. Wi-Fi service is available at the clubhouse at the rear of the campground, but we hear that they will have it throughout the park for a small fee in coming weeks. The grounds, bath houses, and showers were very clean. We had no trouble getting reservations through Coast-to-Coast although that could be different during the height of tourist season. We enjoyed the stay, and we'll come here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Rate reflects the $400 monthly charge. Notwithstanding the previous review, a very nice park. Gated security, a 15-minute walk to Barefoot Landing in one direction or the Mall in the other and a half-hour hike to groceries. Grounds maintenance was a constant, with raking and vacuuming a daily occurrence. We did find that the restroom closest to the office was a bit dated, stinky and closed rather early for cleaning (8:30, just when we needed the shower) but the other one, opposite site 246, was modern, open and sparkling clean. Propane is delivered to the sites each Monday (sign up in the club house) and there appears to be some organized activities. We stayed for the month of December and left a bit early, but that was because we were "Myrtled out," nothing to do with the park. Would recommend it to anyone in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very nice campground is is in the Coast to Coast network. The front sites seemed a little rough (very little grass) but the back part of the campground is lovely and back up to the waterway. Great location -- there is a walkway that leads to Barefoot Landing, and many of the shows are nearby. We did not see many children during our stay and it seems have a more mature clientele. The permanent park models are very well maintained and there seemed to be quite a few long-term campers there as well, which made for a nice sense of community. This would not be my first choice when traveling with children, but adults will enjoy all this quiet park has to offer. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Of course, fine weather is a plus, but the park really has no deficiencies.The sites are all cement pads, level, mostly shade, good spacing, paved roads and a very friendly management team. Our neighbors were also great and enjoyed the games we played with them. The pool was closed at this time of year and kid activities are limited because most are in school!

Upon arriving, we were pleasantly surprised to find nice paved sites with plenty of shade. The majority of sites were fairly large. We did see a couple of very small sites. More than half of the guests were in motorhomes. Many of the guests were over 60, but that meant there weren't many kids. Everyone was nice and friendly. Bathrooms and laundry rooms looked clean and up to date. The pool is huge. We were able to go everyday and relax almost alone. This wouldn't be the place for a family with teens to visit because there isn't much on site for them. It is a quick walk to Fuddruckers, and there is a walkway to Barefoot Landing (large enough for a golf cart). We definitely enjoyed the quiet and will definitely be back.

Nice older park. Was an extremely nice private member park in the late seventies. This is a nursing home style park. Biggest complaint is the water volume; pressure OK 50psi, but volume is very low through out park. Staff was friendly. Passport honored during the weekdays. Nice large rec. room and large swimming pool. Lots of permanent, but nice units. Not on the beach which was fine by us. Close to Barefoot landing. Eat at Little Pigs for a great pork sandwich.

Rate is Coast to Coast plus tax & utility surcharge. Park is about 1/3 park models, and is very well kept. As stated, all sites are paved and level. Most are tree shaded, so if satellite is important, ask for a clear site. Convenient location, friendly and helpful staff. There are a few RV sites that back up to the intercoastal waterway, but most don't. Lots of activities, residents all friendly, plenty of birds and squirrels to enjoy (or annoy, depending).

Very nice campground resort to visit. Host at check in was very helpful. All sites are on cement pad and dead level. Roads are asphalt. Good space on most sites from side to side. Park now has free WiFi, good in club house only, ask for the password at office. Water and power were good and all sites have 30 & 50 amps. No camp fires here. Large play ground equipment for the kids. Next door to Barefoot Landing, you can walk over in short time. Rates were on Passport. Park was very close to full, about 60% were large class A's, then large 5th wheel units, rest were smaller units. People in park were nice to talk with. Large club house and pool were great, down by the inlet waters. Sites next to Hwy 17 will have some road noise and sites in back of park are very quite. We will return here on future trips.

When I tried to find a site in Myrtle Beach all of the campgrounds were full except Briarcliff, now I know why. The facility was very old and worn down and when my wife came back from the Rec. Hall, She said it felt like a nursing home. Additionally, my kids wouldn't walk anywhere because of all the ants. The Staff was very unfriendly and did not make us feel welcome. My credit cards were stolen a week before we left so the card I used for the deposit was canceled and I had to change cards. The woman who checked me in said 3 times "So the card you used for the reservation was no good?" acting like I was trying to pull something. On check-out day, we pulled out and I stopped in the office at which point they charged me for an extra night because it was past 12:00. The park was 3/4's empty! I didn't know what time check out was and we were past the 12:00 deadline, but I have NEVER been charged for that in any other campground- particularly when it was close to empty! They also charged my credit card $10 because I didn't turn in a key card after I got in a fight with them over the extra night. They got an extra $57 out of me, but now I know why the park has space when every one else is booked solid. The reputation they have on the RV boards is awful and now I know why, we certainly will never stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We don't "worship" Briarcliffe, nor are we "enthralled" with it. However, we find it clean, welcoming and accommodating--and cheap in comparison to others in the area. Owners of spaces here will rent to individuals for a very good price off-season for a month at a time, which is excellent if one is a full-timer. (The price I've listed was out Coast-to-Coast price.) I'm sorry the poster below had a hard time and was unhappy, but having grown up in South Florida, I find it humorous that children would refuse to walk where there are ants. Perhaps a less argumentative attitude with staff who are, essentially, volunteers, would go a long way toward making his or her life more pleasant. We found Briarcliffe very pleasant. We will be looking forward to returning under Coast to Coast as well as under rental terms with individual owners. By the way, the staff allowed us to move around to accommodate our need to use an internet satellite dish without question--and with a return smile, something places we've paid a lot more have grumbled about.

I know from personal discussions with members and comments made here that this park is highly rated (all most worshiped) but I'm less enthralled. It has a worn look; not enough monies going back into maintaining the infrastructure i.e. roads,sites,clubhouse,etc. The large number of park homes detracts from parks inherent treed campground ambiance. It's location is certainly very good. I was not impressed by the front desk person; rather solemn and certainly not one to lighten your day. Lack of wireless Internet was a negative as well.

The best part for us was that it's right next to the Barefoot Landing Complex: (shops, stores, restaurants, and clubs). A great place for a morning walk, lunch and dinner or nightly entertainment at one of the clubs. There is a path next to site #116 to the complex. When in the area again this is where we will stay.

Park is very nice, streets and sites are paved. Park has a lot to do for everyone. Intracoastal waterway next to park. I think anyone would be happy here. Ocean is about two blocks away. Large number of cable TV channels. Some noise off Hwy. 17 and airport to North. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice clean park with pull-through pads on all the sites. Friendly and helpful staff. The other reviews are a little too high for this park. The sites are not really flat (my front tires are a foot off the ground. Turns within the park are a little crowded and there are many trees. Hard to find with few signs. Close to Myrtle beach. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Staff; Very friendly and helpful. Price is Coast to Coast rate. Regular rate $30-$58. We had a pull through with full hook ups 50 amp electric. Long cement pad with gravel roads. Average spacing with no privacy between sites. Amenities included a pool that has a super walk in ramp on one side, 1200 foot frontage on the intercostal waterway, boat ramp, conference center, and small pond for fishing. There are individual shower rooms and the Verizon phone 4 bars 3G, Wi-Fi was fair to very good. Sat TV most sites with open sky view for satellite TV. Over the air TV, many stations. Dog friendl with lots of room to walk a dog. Very big rig friendly. Wide roads, all pull thru sites. There is very low light at night and it's quiet. Super park, with great views along the intercoastal waterway and a super value with Coast to Coast. We would rate this park a 10 if the Wi-Fi was better and they paved the roads. We would stay here again. The park just opened in June of 2012. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We made reservations for 4 nights and added an extra night. All the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Since we were there with another group the staff tried extremely hard to place us next to each other so we could buddy camp but to no avail. The first site we were offered was too unlevel although a nice paved site. We moved across to site 45 and were able to get level and set up. Since this was during the week there were not a lot of other folks there and it was extremely peaceful. This CG is in great location for shopping and seeing Myrtle Beach. We enjoyed our stay very much and will return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground just opened in June, and they already have everything going the right way. A very friendly staff, all pull through sites, concrete sites, hard packed roads, free cable, free wi-fi, and a nice family atmosphere makes this a great place to camp. It is 5-6 miles from the beach, but they will take you in a van and pick you up 4 hrs later. The normal rate is $54 and $58 for waterway sites. We are going back in Sept.

This park is okay. Negatives: The bathrooms are not air conditioned. (This is the south so you would expect AC in the bathhouses.) The roads need maintenance. Ants at campsites are terrible. The grass around campsites has not been mowed in quite some time. Has dirt sites so watch out when it rains. The neighbor's sewer connection is pretty much on your site. Park has small sites, low water pressure and golf carts everywhere!! Positives: The beach is nice, there is lots of security, two pools (in/outside), activities, staff, quiet at night, and the roadways are wide. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A definite gem! We stayed off season so campground was quite empty. We had ocean front site which was wonderful to watch the sun come up and walk the dog. Security was very evident, even with few campers. For a family this is a great place to visit with lots of activities, indoor and outdoor pools, on site cafe and ocean front playground. The staff was pleasant and helpful. We will definitely return here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This place has great customer service. When I called with questions the lady on the phone spent all the time I needed to get information. When I arrived check-in was quick and easy. Unfortunately I had to leave early due to a death in the family and when we went in to inform the office they refunded the unused portion of our money...something just about unheard of. The sites are decent size, the indoor pool was very nice and the staff was great. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a chameleon campground. Our previous ratings: 2008: 4. 2009: 7. 2010: 1. After a terrible experience with the horse rally in 2010, we decided not to return, but we did. BEFORE the horses. This year some major improvements: excellent Wi-Fi, appearance really spruced up; very responsive staff; security that doesn’t act like it is doing you a favor, sites and public areas much cleaner. On the negative side, they apparently over-softened the water and soap would not wash off. Hopefully they have resolved the horse problems. We were not here for the horse rally, but asked friends to let us know if the clean-up was any better. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is great; we loved it. Sites are a little tight, but still room. The ocean was very close, maybe 25-50 yards away. There are a lot of activities. Indoor pool for the rainy days, but the outside pool was closed. They even have a coffee shop and church services on Sunday, loved it. They say that there was not a charge for the bikes paddle boats or mini golf, but there was an additional 28.01 Resort Fee. It would be nice if the choice was left to us as to fees. We will look at other campgrounds in the area, but likely to return here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Large Campground with lots of things to do. Was not too crowded, but there were several empty site, which I'm sure are full later in the summer. Most all activities in the campground are included, including miniature golf and paddle boats, which was very nice. Rest rooms closest to me were older, but well maintained. Some looked newer. My kids ranged from 17-9 and all had a great time. We stayed at MB Travel Park last year and enjoyed this campground more, just a little more space and trees. Plan to come again later this summer.

Has 24 hour security and they are very visible driving by very often. Has a big store, a diner, also a coffee shop on site. Also has propane. Cant wait to return. Remember to bring a firepit or a way to make a fire ring as there are none at the sites. And it is windy near the ocean. With that said all else is was great We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here in 2007 and would have rated it a 7; in 2008 we rated it a 4; in 2009, a 7. This year is the last we will stay at Lakewood. Lots of trash at sites and on the beach, the water pressure very low, the Wi-Fi unreliable (they don’t want to be bothered with Wi-Fi problems, so they give you the phone number of their Wi-Fi provider); cable TV that pixelates every few minutes. They failed to clean up after the American Heart Assn beach run and, in spite of complaints, there was still horse manure on the beach 2 weeks later. During the time the horses were here, we saw people walking, driving golf carts, even riding horses through occupied sites; owners leaving horses behind while they went on the beach ride, with the lonely horses neighing for hours. If a camper had left behind a dog on a leash or left behind dog waste, he would have asked to leave. Witnessed a woman let her dogs do their business on others' sites and not clean it up. We met with the surly AHA organizer of the event. It was very obvious the participants had not been advised on proper protocol while in a campground. For this, we spent more than $1,800 to stay here for two months? Never again. On the plus side: we had a fabulous washing and waxing job on our RV at a very good rate. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park was way too crowded. Sites were very small and uneven. We could not put our awning out because of the small site. We were told via phone earlier that morning that we would have a large site and when we arrived we got a skinny pull through site. While walking our dog, my daughter was hit by water balloons. I was grateful I did not have small children because it was too busy to let them ride bikes or play outside. Golf carts were everywhere but electric scooters were not allowed. They wanted you to rent one of their golf carts instead. It was a bad start to our family vacation. It also left me with a bad feeling for Myrtle Beach. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Stored our camper here, 2nd season we had it. That part is nice, convienient. This place is getting to be a dump and worst every time we come! I have been here several times already this year and the same things that were broken are still broken! Walked on the beach across from the play ground and I literally was scared we were going to step on some garbage that would send us to the hospital. What a dump the beach was! Pool deck was the same thing: food from the day before all over the place. Store restaurant was the same thing: full trash cans, trash on ground. Place is always full, so money should be no problem. Pay people to clean up the place, and be responsible for one area, all day! Fix the broken stuff, and clean the bath houses for God's sake! Disney is a great model to follow.

Lakewood is a very nice campground with a private beach, we generally stay within a stones throw of the beach that way the wife can stay out on the beach all day and me and the dog can get a nap.The only complaint with them is those annoying rental golf carts.

We were sent to a site that already had a trailer on it. Next site had piles of leaves and litter. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months. The cable TV connection was broken and I couldn't get it to work. When I reported the bad cable connection, they said it goes out now and then. I had to run cable from a nearby vacant site.

We stayed here during spring break and had a great time. While we have been to Lakewood before about 10 years ago, it was the place we picked to initially store our new travel trailer we bought this year. The park is a great place for a family. It is located right on the beach. You can have great views of the ocean from certain spots. Although the sites are not huge and fancy, they are adequate for your stay. The park offers a lot of things to do: indoor/outdoor pools/hot tub, basketball courts, shuffleboard, arcade, kids activities, church services, fishing, canoeing/pedal boating, mini golf, store/gift shop with restaurant and great ice cream! There is also Snappy Zappys. You can call them up and order food and it will be delivered to your site. Everything we have orderd from them has been great and the prices are good too. There is also a very clean laundry facility on the site as well. I'm sure I've left out something, but all in all it's a great place to stay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here for a week for our spring break. It was really windy on the beach, and a bit cool. But otherwise, we had a nice week. The campground is very clean, and I think other posts give a nice overview of available amenities and services, so I won't be redundant with that. A few notes on our own personal experience though: our young daughters had a great time biking around. Very few golf carts and they were driven responsibly, except for one Dad who persisted in talking on his cell phone and ignoring stop signs. Guess he just couldn't leave work at work. Otherwise, the park was half full, so it was nice and quiet. The park is very nicely maintained overall and the staff was courteous and friendly. The teen-aged lifeguard for the indoor pool needs a new job though. He obviously didn't enjoy the one he has. We did get the 'family fun pass' for the week, but I don't think I would do that again. The mini-golf course is small and not very exciting. How many times can you play the same course in one week? Also, one turn on the paddle boats was enough, and the hippo slide wasn't open yet. So, while a great deal, we would skip this next year and go to other mini-golf courses. There are so many to choose from on Route 17, that look very cool. Only annoyance of the week was the yappy dogs near us. I just don't understand why people let their dogs stay outside yipping until 10:00 at night?! How about if I sat in my truck and honked the horn every five seconds? Honestly! The staff was super great about getting security to talk to them right away (two different sites), and our last 2 days there were a lot quieter. My daughters also experienced an incident on the playground, and security took care of that quickly and seriously as well. We were pleased with their responsiveness. Would we return? Maybe. A word of warning to the non-religious. Although we noticed that this is a Christian campground, we didn't quite expect the full-size puppets displaying the Holy Week story. We had quite the time explaining to our daughters why there were three men nailed onto crosses. It freaked them out a bit, as they have not yet been exposed to concepts of people torturing and killing one another. It left quite an impression on them as it was all lit up at night with brightly lit crosses along the lakeside as well. Overall, I can say they were a bit disconcerted by it for most of the week, (you drive by this on the main road headed through the park, so it's impossible to avoid). However, the other large parks were full and a lot busier than Lakewood (maybe this is why?) and we do like the quiet. I think I would request a site farther away from the beach next time though. They seemed to smush all of the campers together as close to the beach as possible, and leave huge sections completely open. The sites are small, and of course we were next to a motorhome with four teenagers who lived outside the whole time. I'd rather have a bit of breathing space myself. I can also say I would never stay here in the summer! No shade, too close together, and they say every site is taken. That would be just too many people to consider it enjoyable 'camping.'

Lakewood Camping Resort is unapologetically a Christian campground. They are located on the beach. We always get an oceanfront site, and the sand is no more than 20-30 yards from our site. We come here every Easter when Forrest Ministries is here hosting Vacation Bible School for the kids. They always have a ton of activities during the Easter week, similar to their summer months. In the summer time, they have VBS and a myriad of other activities for kids. The services and amenities are second to none including both an indoor and outdoor pool and hot tub. The campground just hired a new full-time professional activities director, not some teenager looking for a summer job. I would highly recommend this campground to anyone looking for a wholesome and fun experience. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I have stayed at Lakewood many times and have always been satisfied with the park. However, this last trip I noticed a number of issues related to general upkeep and cleanliness. At check in the staff was very friendly and efficient. I was also disappointed that they still don't have Wi-Fi, as I needed Internet to keep up to date on the pending snowy weather and it's effect on my race that weekend. You can get free Wi-Fi at the coffee house, but it's only open from 8-12 each morning. However, my biggest issue is with upkeep of the sites. When I got to my site there was a big pile of sticks and leaves left by a previous camper right in the middle of the campsite. Obviously no one had checked our site or cleaned up a bit in between campers. Also, I've noticed Pirateland has upgraded many of their sites to concrete pads and has cabanas at many sites. Lakewood's sites have no pads and are all very sandy (which I sort of expect at the beach) but also tend to be very muddy when it rains. And most of the roads near the beach also became lakes during rain which meant we had to walk through nearly ankle high water to get into and out of our site. I also noticed many of the electrical hookup boxes are rusting and falling apart on many sites. A major annoyance was that the beach road trash cans they have at the beach access points, remained overflowing all weekend. I don't know why they couldn't empty them, but trash began to pileup all around them as people had nowhere to put trash. We still enjoyed our stay, though these annoyances detracted from the experience. The pool and hot tub were great and the staff is very friendly. Lakewood can be a very nice place to stay, especially off season, but they need to get back on the ball with some of the basic upkeep and maintenance. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here in 2007 and were satisfied, but when we stayed in 2008, we found surly staff in the office, dirty sites, low water pressure, complaints from staff, no-so-clean restrooms. But they apparently have read the negative reviews and made changes. When we checked in this time, we learned that two of the three clerks were new and they were very helpful, worked hard to find us a site that we liked. However, there was still some of the "not my job" attitude. Site was clean and while there, we often saw staff cleaning up vacant sites. Water pressure has improved. Restrooms and showers at the indoor pool were renovated and spotless. Their rates are lower than other beachfront parks. Only complaints are the lack of wireless internet throughout the park (I got stronger signals from a nearby RV park) and the outrageous cost to rent golf carts ($40/day) almost double the daily site fee.

This park is a mess. When we arrived there were cigarette butts all over the site plus trash. When I called to complain the front office sent two maintenance men to clean up the site. They admitted that this is a common complaint that the current management is doing nothing about. There is no on site W-IFI and they don't tell you up front. We had planned to stay with a group for two weeks but needed WI-FI for important business. We left the next day and headed to Hilton Head Outdoor Resorts...what a difference. Because the resort did not want to lose the groups business, we received a full refund. Wouldn't expect that if a solo traveler. This is the second and last year we will waste the fuel to get to this poor excuse for a resort We camped here in a Motorhome.

I agree with previous reviews: the sites need to be cleaned up after a couple of uses, too many cigarette butts and just all around loose junk, papers etc. Most places that advertise beach access are usually a drive away, we had a sight that was just off the beach and we loved it. There are a lot of bathrooms and they were very clean. The only drawback is you can only get Wi-Fi at the coffee shop, but when we did need to access the internet the signal was excellent.

A previous poster mentioned some things that I'll strongly second. The sites need to be better maintained. I agree the trees need to be trimmed at some sites and the trash/old campfire remnants should be removed better. I will say, though, the bathhouse closest to me was clean. I sat one day and saw at least 3-4 crews go in and clean. Out of all the camp sites, here were only about 5 dozen sites used. So, there was plenty of work that could have been acomplished without disturbing the "guests". This was our 3rd year at Lakewood and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Last year I commented about the Wi-Fi: it is finally free, but you have to be real close to the coffee shop. I still say, for the price and if they want to stay competitive, Wi-Fi needs to be available thoughout the CG. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We had a good time at Lakewood. We have not been here for five years and not a lot has changed. Overall the campground is great but the bathhouses should be cleaned more than once a day. They were real dirty by mid morning and not cleaned again until the next morning. This is Lakewoods 50th year in business and the campsites show the age. Most of the hook ups are old and some are broken. They need to spend some money on the campsites with new hook ups and general cleaning. Most sites had trash left from other campers and the trees need to be trimmed. I had to cut a few branches from a tree to get our camper in the site. Also picked up trash and burnt firewood left by the last ones to use this site. There is lots of stuff for the kids to do with the Hippo Slide and the pools. The front office people were nice and courteous. I would give this campground a higher rating if the sites would have been better. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was our first trip to Lakewood. We stayed at other area campgrounds and were not sure if Lakewood would be as good. We were really surprised by how much we liked this campground. They had so much for our 8 and 13 year old to do that we only left the campground twice in 10 days. The family fun pass was well worth the price. We liked this campground so much that we have already scheduled a trip back in August. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We picked Lakewood Camping Resort after my wife saw on their web page the new Family Value Fun Pass that they advertised. We didn't have to pay for each amenity like the hippo slide, putt putt golf, bicycle rentals, boat rentals or water wars, we just paid $10 a day for all on our campsite to use these facilities. We could slide down the slide with our kids and they all enjoyed that. Thank you Lakewood for providing such a huge savings for families like mine in this down turned economy we are in. The park looked great and was well kept with lots to do for the whole family. We had an oceanfront site just steps from most of the activities. Our motor home was easily driven through the campgrond. Last night they had a Welcome Party on the beach with live music, free Pepsi, pop corn and cotton candy. We are so excited about finding this wonderful family oriented camping facility. We will be back to Lakewood on our next trip to Myrtle Beach. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was our first visit to Myrtle Beach and we choose this campground because it's website listed many amenities that we be appealing to our children and it listed itself as 'christian'. We were very disappointed in the fact that the campground amenities were not even open, even though their website did not list their amenities as 'seasonal', giving us the impression that everything would be up and running. We assumed that outdoor pools and water slides would not be opened due to the cooler weather, but we did not expect that nothing but the one indoor pool would be open. The staff at the park were very unfriendly and mostly rude. The sites are small. The 'free' TV is a half dozen channels at best, although their information lists about 50 available channels. We just felt that they had misled us in their advertising and then treated us like trash. Our next trip to Myrtle Beach will not include this campground, there are much better choices. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I think a Wal-Mark parking lot would be more peaceful. We stayed there for the first time with a motor home group. It was our first and last visit to Myrtle Beach area which both park and area reminded me of a 50's cheap carnival arcade. This is a very uncomfortable park with small sites, poor upkeep and noise. If you really want paradise, skip this and go 4 hours south to Hilton Head Island. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Have stayed on and off at this park for over 40 years even as a child, this is the first time I have ever stayed that I had wished I had stayed somewhere else, a motorhome convention was going on and the power was surged a lot, and things just did not seem to get fixed or handled as they had in the past. Too many motorhomes, being washed by private company's lots of noise and the reservations were set up wrong and the place they moved us was just not good. Will look for another place to stay next time going to Myrtle Beach area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed at this campground last year and were satisfied. What a difference a year made. The sites close to the beach are sandy and unshaded, but that is what you expect at the beach. Last year we arrived with no reservation and were treated like royalty; this year we were treated pleasantly when we made the reservation, and chopped liver when we arrived. What was unacceptable this year was the cleanliness of sites: lots of trash, the water pressure: very low, the Wi-Fi: very slow and their failure to enforce their own rules during the fall Harley Davidson rally. They do not allow motorcycles at times other than the bike rallies. Their rules: ride at idle while in the park; drive to and from campsites only. Great if they were enforced. But bikers revved their bikes for extended periods on the sites, drove at high speeds in the park and cruised up and down the interior roads. And watch out for the campers that return each year and take over vacant sites for their loud and early morning/late night parties. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was our second year at Lakewood. I thought the CG was in need of some maintenance - general clean-up around the sites. There weren't very many occupied sites during the week we were there, so it would have been the opportune time to do this. Very disappointed at the lack of wi-fi for the whole campground. The "free" wi-fi is deceiving. You have to buy something at the coffee shop and then you get an hours worth of free wi-fi. For the size of the CG and the price for a week, wi-fi should be free. Staff needs to clean up the CG or it will loose a customer. Do like to be close to the ocean, like we were. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Overall I was wonderfully surprised. The staff were great to work with. Plenty of entertainment from the daily activities for the kids to the nightly entertainment. Check out the Hula Show during the summer. Site was good, would be better if paved, but proximity to water was fantastic. Trading post was a little pricey, but overall a great selection. I saw the comments about golf carts, but didn't feel it was that bad. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great park , ocean view Etc. Clean rest rooms, showers, large playground large pool indoor an outdoors. Only one negative issue, I inquired about bringing my own handicap golf cart and was told that it would have to be inspected by their staff ( I agree with that) However I was told that I would still have to pay $ 30.00 per day in order to use it in their park. I found that to be very unfair to handicap people who need this form of transportation. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was our first full week camping; we have stayed at Myrtle Beach many times but not camping. This campground is very family friendly, even though I don't have small children our friends did and they had a great time with the activity there. They give you a newsletter of all activities for the week which was very good. There were lots of golf carts riding around and if I wasn't in an Ocean front site I would have gotten one too. We didn't have any trouble with the carts but there were a lot of kids driving them that where under age by the CG rules. Bathrooms very clean but were old. We had a great time and would go back.

We were put in a site by the gate. The first sight we were put on had a tree in the way and we couldn't set up our motorhome properly so we had to go and request a different sight. Then we were given a sight that was ontop of a ant colony and half a mile from the beach, pool, arcade, everything there at the campground. The prices of things to eat and to do were completely outrageous. The golf carts were $50 a day/$300 a week. The staff were absolutely rude and seemed to hate their jobs. The bath house's were along the same lines. The toilets were full of unflushed junk...floors were filthy, the showers didn't have doors, or anywhere to put your things. The floors of the showers, if they were crawling with ants had clumps of sand in them and all around. There were motorcycles and out of control teens on golf carts, that would almost run you over. The outdoor pool staff were the rudest of all, smart mouths and acted as you owed them something. When we got to the outdoor pool and got set up in chairs we were asked to move several times because the lifeguards were late doing their cleaning duties and were trying to catch up at about 10:00 am, which I found very uncalled for. Everything cost something, and not just a few dollars. A good example it was $4.50 for a chicken sandwich, $2.50 for a corn dog (that was burnt by the way). I wouldn't every go back to this place and would never recommend it to anyone. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Upon arrival we were able to check-in early and found our spot a little tight due to two trees in the site. We asked to move and were moved to a site with the same problem but were able to get set up and go. Campground is nice all around but we had the usual problems with the underage golf cart drivers and unattended children. Our neighbors also found out about the attack squirels that like to chew thru propane lines and power cords. With all this being said we'd return, but I think I'll stick with Ocean Lakes if I can actually get a spot. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We were very fortunate to get an oceanfront site because we were a "fit" for a vacancy within a time frame (4 days). Although the sites are not paved, there was certainly enough room between sites to put out slides and awnings. You may, however, be backed up right next to someone. I would totally agree with the parents not watching bikes. Watch where you park your TV or you may end up having dents and scratches like mine does now. Also, many parents allow their unlicensed teens and pre-teens to drive carts. If you are oceanfront, be aware that the nights are cruising nights - all the golf carts stroll down the street en-masse. My teenagers liked the amenities and there was plenty to do. They do have security patrolling the area at night, so it quiets down quite a bit, but like every campground you can visit, the biggest issue is letting small children run amuck unsupervised. I would go here again, although I would try to get into Ocean Lakes or Pirateland first. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Campground was very nice, lots of activities for children. My only comment is the sometimes less than appropriate watchful eyes of parents letting small children ride bikes on the roads throughout the campground. We were very careful driving our car, never went over the speed limit. On one occasion 2 small children wrecked into each other, fell off their bikes when they realized our car was approaching very slowly; we even stopped when we saw the children coming. So, to parents; be careful-these are roads that carry cars, not a bike trail. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Lakewood Campground is where I grew up camping, and had to go back in our own camper as an adult. We spent one week in mid May 2008 and it was the most relaxing wonderful experience ever. Although we caught the tail end of the two bike weeks we couldn't have asked for a better vacation. We will be back again. The christian family atmosphere can't be beat and you want for nothing while there. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice park on the beach but it is so big you may be quite a walk to the beach. Most of the sites are a nice size with some grass. All the facilities are WORN OUT the bathrooms, pool etc which is a rip off because the prices are very high even off season. The owners must be piling up the money in their own bank accounts cause they aren't spending any money on the park any more. I don't like to spend $55 a night to "camp" but when the place is really less than average it is really awful. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park has a lot of facilities and stores. We were here during spring break and a lot of families with kids. If you have a long rig parking can be a problem, you may have to move some neighbors cars to get into your site. All sites are dirt and not all level. Very close together. If you want to use your sat then choose the North end, few trees. No Wi-Fi along the ocean area. We probably would not stay here again you are paying for the ocean front not the park amenities.

Very nice location and facilities. The sites are gravel and we got an ocean front and came very close to getting stuck as it had rained a lot before we got there. However there were some very nice gravel, grassy lots that were a little further back that were probably cheaper and certainly firmer packed. But overall I would highly recommend this location.

Our first trip to Lakewood was a very pleasant experience. The staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. The park is dated and could use some improvements. The bath houses are not air conditioned, the trash pick up was not regular, and no shower/spigots at the beach entrances, the grass needed mowing in some areas. The interior roads were wide enough for 2 vehicles to pass. We rode our bikes daily and did not witness the roving hordes of reckless teens on golf carts. Actually I found the golf cart traffic at a minimum, unlike some of the other posters. The pool was very nice and had 2 lifeguards on duty. This was a comfortable place to stay and we would stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The people that work there were nice. The site was ok. But the bathrooms needed to be cleaned more often and updated. Too many golf carts. The place is nice and the children loved it. I didn't have to worry about the children too much when they were at the pool or game room. This place is too big for me. People were not so friendly, that were camping. Once you are in the camp site you really don't have to leave this place. It has everything you will need. I can't say that I will not be back, but it will be a while it takes money to stay here $$.

Absolutely love this place. The golf cart parade every night is very entertaining. We had an Ocean front site & it was great. Nice store, nice beach, nice playground. I cant say enough good things about this place. There was an incident across from our site. Someone neglected to disclose to the reservation people they were bringing 2 very large rottweilers along, After they attacked a very small dog that was on a leash next door, it became very noticable to all that they were there. (Rules state large aggressive breeds are not allowed in this campground & it gives a list of breeds not allowed on your confirmation letter). I was very happy to see that they do enforce their rules & they gave the people the option to get rid of the dogs (take them elsewhere)or leave in the morning, they left. We cant wait to return to this campground. Next time I will spend extra for a golfcart to ride around in, in the evenings. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

If you like crowded tight sites, underage kids careening around in golf carts then this place is for you. We found it difficult to ride our bikes on the roads due to the amount of traffic. Would only ride in the early morning. Some like this type of place with the hustle and bustle. narrow roads, trees and parked vehicles make it difficult to back in. We went based on a recommendation from a relative. As is every place you go in a beach town everything you do takes $$. Sewer connections were oddly placed at mid site. Neighbors connection was right next to our table. Due to small size and shape of site we could not relocate the table. My sewer connection was broken and it was never repaired. With a doughnut I was able to use it. Rules are selectively enforced. The only true waterfront sites are around the lake. Our site was dirty upon arrival and we noticed as others left some of them also left trash behind. Never saw anyone check empty sites other than picking up the bag of trash at the road and making sure the site was empty. It is not for us. Would not stay here again.

This RV park was the worst I have ever stayed in and I cannot recommend it under any circumstances. Here is a brief listing of my encounter. When I went into reception the list of people with complaints trailed into a long line. I too would find myself in this position. I reserved and paid for a dark pink site, but when I arrived they placed me in an orange site, which is further back from the beach. Carolyn in the reception area was very rude when this was pointed out. She stated that the site had been “converted†to a dark pink site (however all of the park maps and the Internet still show it as an orange site) and would not refund the difference of the orange-site price. The site was not ready when we arrived and was covered with junk-- a dirty picnic table, and an old, wet, dirty, oriental rug,. It was also being used for a bike parking lot, which we had to move before we could pull in our RV. The Internet service did not work in the site, perhaps this is because it was not truly converted to a premium site, Internet only works in Blocks 1,2 and Oceanfront. The cable television did not work and although maintenance was called it was never repaired. On more than one occasion the bathroom toilets backed up, onto the floor and into the showers—sewage smelled outside of the bathhouse. My father refused to go back into the bathhouse at all and showered in our RV the rest of the trip (as did our whole family). People were shooting fireworks in the RV next to us into late hours of the night. The only time we went to the extremely small indoor pool it was adult swim only. The sites were very tight, our awning could barely open without touching the permanent trailer next to us. We had to back in narrowly between trees. We made the best of our trip in spite of this park, but truthfully the best times were had when we were off the property. It was a crowded, disgusting mess. The golf carts are the least of their problems. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed at Lakewood the week of June 16th in site 5414 which is in Block 1 South. My wife and I sat down after the trip to rate this campground, and our rating was between a 6 & 7 on a scale of 1-10. Positives. Lots to do, especially if you have kids (we don't), relatively clean bathhouses (considering the sheer numbers of people), a nice beach that is within easy walking distance from most of the campground, and a convenience location. Negatives. Sheer number of golf carts, lack of traffic signs at intersections, and park management's failure to enforce their published rules. We'll be back here the end of July for another visit, but in the future we'll only use this park for pre-Memorial Day and post-Labor Day visits. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Almost all sites are back-ins, but there are a few pull throughs on the main road as last year I had one. This year, I was in block 1 North, and although it was far away from everything, it was quieter. It was in full sun as well. The back in sites are backed in to other campers. One set faces the ocean and the other is opposite. Either is fine because you can't see the ocean anyway, but if you face the ocean the sun is under the awning in the morning or evening the other way. The sites are close, but everyone is having a good time and so much activity is going on that you don't care. You can definitely put your awning out and still have some room to spare. The roads are only narrow in the back blocks. Stay in block 1 or 2 for wider roads, which are almost wide enough for 2 vehicles to pass. Rent a golf cart to get around. It is expensive ($48 for 24 hours), but it is so much fun. After you do it, you'll think it is worth it at least for a couple of days or so. The only sites that can see the ocean are Block 1 and part of Block 2 ocean front sites. The dunes there are lower, so you can even see the ocean as you drive down the strip. I didn't step one foot inside the bathhouses, so can't comment there. I did notice over on the south side it appeared there were bathhouses that had individual showers, etc. as people were waiting to use them. This might be nice for privacy, etc. WiFi is $10/day or $20 for 7 days or $30 for a month. Free cable TV, which worked great, but hardly used as we were out doing tons of stuff. I did a quick walk over to Pirateland and Ocean Lakes. Pirateland is not for me as it is too cramped. Ocean Lakes is almost similar to Lakewood in layout, just smaller. The golf carts at Ocean Lakes were about 50% more. I think because OL lets you bring your own, so this adds to the number. Plus OL is smaller in size. Overall we had an excellent time with excellent weather. Sunshine all week. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very large campground with a wide variety of sites. Although we had full hookups, our site was not level and I had to use 4WD to get the rig through the sand. The interior streets are narrow and not designed for big rigs. Big rigs need to get the premium priced sites for enough space.

Lakewood has dealt with the most serious fault I have had with them in the past--fireworks on the beach. In past years, weekend nights especially started to sound like a bombardment, and everyone from the park security to the town police was passing the buck. Apparently enough of us paying guests complained, and people are banned from shooting fireworks, at least on Lakewood's beach. Saw a few rockets from the park to the south, but nothing like before. The place still has an onerous set of rules, but they are enforced selectively enough that you can ignore them, at least in the off-season. Since our last stay at Lakewood two years ago, they have added Wi-Fi, and best of all it is accessible from the sites nearest the beach. The service is NOT free, however. It's $9.95 for a single day, $19.95 a week and $29.95 a month. A park that charges as much as Lakewood ought to offer the Wi-Fi with no extra charge. After all, they don't charge extra to save your immortal soul with their endless chain of Bible studies and worship services. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I did not like this site due to the non pull through sites, it's just the convenience of it. The bathrooms were hot with no a/c . I did not like having to wait till the office opens up to check in. At Ocean Lakes, they have express check in and that means if you say you'll be arriving at 6am that morning, you just drive on into you're empty reserved site. I also did not like the fact that the gates are locked at midnight. If I want to stay out until 2 or 3 in the morning, and then return to my site, I should be able to. Half the stuff they had there was shut down for maintenance while I was there. Their camp store left a lot to be desired, out of a lot of stuff. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed 1 week. Since we were off season, campground was not full, which is good as some campers had the tv on pretty loud and pretty late. No one came around to enforce quiet time. Campground is overrun by squirrels. They are everywhere. Close to the beach, which is nice. The pool is great. Close to everything. Restrooms were adequate. Would try another campground on next visit to see if worthwhile, but would not mind coming back, again off season. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Over all experience was pleasant, however I do have one MAJOR complaint. For advertising themselves as a Christian campground these people are certainly on the route to all that is evil, as they are money hungry. While spending time at the campground my wife and I, along with friends took in some water activities in Myrtle Beach and while riding a banana boat being pulled by a jetski my wife was injured and required immediate medical attention. After taking her to the Emergency Room, they couldn't confirm what the injury was but my wife was in extreme pain so we decided to pack up and head out and leave our friends behind to enjoy the rest of their trip. Straight from the emergency room back to hookup and pull out. I didn't stop to check out. I just wanted to get the wife back home and to one of our doctors because she was in so much pain. Long and short of it after getting home we found out she had broken her leg in the joint and needs surgery. I called our friends that stayed at the campground and asked them to go to the Camp office and check me out and see if the managment might refund (credit back to my credit card) the two days I had left early. Our friends were told absolutely not, that I was the only one that could check out and since I wasn't there to do so that I would be charged until the last day of my stay, and no refund would be given. My friends called and told me this so I called and was told that If I would like a refund that I would have to check out in person. Being that I am back in Maryland I don't think that is going to happen so I don't suppose I will be getting any refund for the two days that I didn't use their facilities. None the less and to show the greed for money, the campground tried to re-rent the space on one of the days before my original checkout. Luckily my friend was at his site next to mine and told the people attempting to claim the space that they needed to go back to the office and let them know that the space was occupied. Of course it really wasn't because I had left but If I am going to be charged for it and not be refunded my money, they certainly are NOT going to rent it out again until after my original checkout date. So moral of the story: if you think these supposed Christian folks are going to give you any kind of Christian break if you have a medical emergency and have to leave in a hurry, do not count on it. Not only will you not get any refund, but they will try to rent out the campsite to someone else and charge you for it too. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was a nice park. Interior roads were good, but you couldn't hardly ride your bicycles without about getting run over by golfcarts driven by kids that weren't suppose to be driving them. The park didn't seem to enforce their very own rules. This is a huge park, very, very crowded. We were ever so lucky though to get a site that was backed up to a fence and we even had shade trees. It seemed that the rental trailers had trees but most of the other side of the park burnt up. Very nice playground, but there were so many children that the playground really wasn't large enough for 1900 sites. Our site was really hard to get backed into, there were trees in the middle of the road and one on the front side of our site, so it took many tries to get into position. The garbage pickup was very nice and also being able to have cable. We had to go to the laundromat and it was very crowded and extremely hot. The gift shop and snack area was very nice, seemed to have everything that you needed. The scenery around the campground was great. They have nice little wooden bridges and ducks galore. Lots to look at and do. I was disappointed that we had to pay extra if we wanted to see a show that they performed at night, so we didn't go. Also inquired about getting a golf cart, but the rates were so darn high that it was just a waste of money. This is a nice campground for just once a year or so. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Lakewood continues to be our family's favorite spot to park for a while. Under new ownership the rates have climbed a bit but a great place to spend a week or two at the beach. We arrived a night early and were graciously accommodated. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is huge - as in too big for us to enjoy. Most sites are just big enough for larger rigs to fit into snugly. The ocean front area is hot as hades (no shade at all) but there is some shade back from the ocean. The bathhouses are HOT and they are kept as clean as they can be kept with so many campers using them 24/7. The golf carts are very expensive (like they are almost everywhere) and too many kids drive them like they are drag racing!! It can really be dangerous if you have little ones and are camping near the ocean front. There is a Christian atmosphere here from the moment you see the sign at the entrance, always quoting scripture. Not a problem most of the time, but their strong enforcement of the alcohol policy is a bit too much. Every campground has rules about keeping your beverage on site, and no loud, abusive, drunken behavior, and I'm all for that. But this campground doesn't even let you have a cocktail 'exposed' while sitting in a chair under your awning! We were told we had to 'cover' our glasses or go inside. When we asked about this at the office we were told 'that is our policy and we enforce it strongly'. We complied, of course, but I really don't like drinking out of a plastic cup! I could understand if we were loud or doing something to be noticed, but we were really just sitting, talking to each other, not bothering anyone! The real problem with this campground is the size. It's just too big - like many of those in MB, particularly those on the ocean. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a Christian-based campground. There are plenty of activities for each day of the week. The staff was very nice; however, we were misled about allowing dogs on the beach. MB is a public beach and you can have dogs on the beach before 9:00 a.m. and after 5:00 p.m. (even during the summer). They do not allow aggressive dogs in the park, which was great. The only other drawbacks were the size of the sites and there were so many golf carts. The noise from the constant traffic of the golf carts took away from the peaceful experience of this trip. I doubt we will be back just based on the golf cart traffic alone. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

My wife and I stayed here in April 2006. What a fantastic CG. Our site backed up to a pond. This park is huge, we had the opportunity to take a few long walks along the ocean. The CG has a lot of amenities. We would definitely stay here again the next time we go to Myrtle Beach. We rode through the other large family campgrounds that were close by, but they didn't compare to this one. They even had a AUCE Friday night fish fry on the beach. Great fish and nice touch.

This is a very nice campground. It is small enough to be easy to get around without a golf cart but large enough to have nice amenities. I love the indoor pool that is located ocean front. It was nice to be able to sit on the deck while looking at the ocean. We also enjoyed the basketball court. It was too cold to swim in the outdoor pool but they were remodeling it while we were there. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Camped middle of the week for two nights on off season. Heated indoor pool is actually heated, hot tub is "hot". Good location and access to Myrtle beach attractions. I dare say, it would not be my first choice during the summer, I know I wouldn't enjoy it much but Spring comes early in SC. Had 8 campsites to myself with 2 bath houses within 100 feet of site. Lots of shade and climbing trees for the kids. Grounds and facilities well kept even during off season. We'll be back in the Fall or next Spring. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We stayed here about 4 days, check-in was easy and the staff friendly. The sites are at best okay. We were near the beach so the site were very sandy to the point where our rig was sinking in. Our biggest complaint is the sites are very narrow and close together. Basically they squeeze as many sites as they can onto the property. I suppose this would be great if one was camping with a group but, I have a problem with the next rigs sewer dump being right by our picnic table. Also, they rent golf carts to campers which many people seem to think are race cars. We had a couple of close calls between our truck and carts. I suspect the place is a zoo during high season. We'll find another place to stay if we're in the area again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was our third trip to Myrtle Beach in the past 3 years and our third different campground. I'd rate Lakewood better than Ocean Lakes and on the same par as Pirateland. Check in was quick and they accommodated our request to get our group of three rigs together in adjoining spots. The spots are adequate width, but the roads are very narrow and required the guy across the street to move his truck so we could back in. The sites are very sandy and made quite a mess of things, even with a large area rug on the ground. We also thought it was odd not to have fire rings or designated fire pits. The resort has plenty to offer and all of the facilities were clean and in working order - except for the Marble Slab Ice Cream vendor, which was a disappointment as temps hit the upper 90s!! The beach was nice and clean, as were the pools. We were glad to see the management wasn't a bunch of rule-Nazis - no one seems to enforce the alcohol ban, everyone shoots off fireworks on the beach at night, and a few other rules are bent, but nothing too excessive. However, the youth on golf carts speeding up and down the beach front road were a bit out of control. I always wonder where the parents of these kids are and why the parks in MB allow this annoyance to continue. Overall though, a very nice campground and we'd camp here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a very family oriented park. Our campsite was on Crater Lake, which is a small fishing lake inside the campground. There wasn't a lot of room between us and our neighbors but, they were nice so we didn't have any problems. The campground has lots of activities including swimming, fishing, canoeing, and mini-golf. We enjoyed our stay and are planning another trip very soon. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We've stayed at Lakewood at least four times, all off season. I cringe at the thought of this place during the height of summer. The place is attractive enough, but their rules regarding dogs and alcohol are pretentious, whether or not they are enforced. Worst of all is their total hands-off policy regarding fireworks on the beach. I heard all kinds of excuses, and several conflicting reports about what government agency has authority over the beach. Meanwhile, people were setting off huge fireworks mortars out there, with no safety precautions whatever. All it would take would be one misdirected rocket to set an RV roof afire, and there would be a mass catastrophe in the making, especially when the park is full. I don't want to camp in what sounds like a war zone after dark, so we will probably avoid Myrtle Beach altogether, but especially this park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We had a corner lot, so it was easy for us to get in and out. However, some of the sites
did look a little tight and I was glad I didn't have to back in them. The indoor pool is nice but at night it is too dark, not near enough lights. The dim lighting combined with the fog coming of the water (it was very cool outside) made it hard to see. The hookups at the sites are not arranged very well. The back of our trailer was over someone else's water faucet and I had to back my trailer in at an angle to get our electric to reach. The staff was friendly and the place was clean. We were here in the off season and they still had everything open, which was nice. Some of the beach campgrounds close everything up during the fall and winter months. We would consider going back but would prefer one of the other area parks. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

After hearing so many raving reviews, we just knew it would be as good or better than
Ocean Lakes. We booked this trip in January. We made plans here because Ocean Lakes was full. Lakewood does not allow you to choose your site, and we had to pay everything up front. When we got to our site, my husband took one look and said, "We will never come here again!" Our site was a back in site beside a
bridge, ditch, and trees. Although he didn't have problems backing in, this shows the size and location of this site. We walked around the campsite (in the mud) and grimaced at the HUGE amount of trash on this site! This is the first time we have ever had to camp with our neighbor's sewage line 10 feet from our door! Our picnic table is right beside it! As soon as we began to set up, we noticed the water spigot did not have a handle to turn it on and off. We also did not have a picnic table when we arrived. I immediately called the office to let them know someone had left trash, broke the handle, and we had no table. Although I was transferred twice, I was told they would send the maintenance man over. A few minutes later, he arrived, an overworked stressed out guy. He said he was the only maintenance man after 4:30 and he would take care of it as soon as he could. He was a little rude, but we took it as stress. We went out to eat and when we returned, he had taken care of everything! Although there was nothing he could do about the mud or size of the campsite. We did drive around and see some larger sites, but most sites here are double sites with two campers sharing one site. Many sites do have trees, but I would rather have a tree or two and room than this many trees. If you have never been to a really nice large campground, you might be happy here. Unfortunately for us, we started with some of the larger, newer, and nicer campgrounds. It is hard to go back to a small site where you can hear everything that goes on beside you.

Just returned from a Dec trip to Lakewood CG in Myrtle Beach. We really liked the place.
Indoor pool was nice this time of year. They are a Good Sam park which we are members. Everything was good, bathrooms clean, sites well kept, trash pick-up included. We would stay here again and recommend it to anyone going to Myrtle Beach. Nice Christian atmosphere. Church services performed on the property as well as free movies. We took our min pin and was welcome at all times. There is a list of unwelcomed dogs. Check before bringing large breed of dogs. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I have been camping at Lakewood for over 30 years and I think it is the best campground
at Myrtle Beach. The sites are large and well maintained. There are numerous activities for the children as well as for the entire family. Pets are
welcomed as long as they are not on the list of forbidden dogs. The facilities are always clean and in working order. The store is stocked with all
neccessities and the snack bars offer good food at reasonable prices. The staff is always friendly and ready to help and we have never had a problem that
wasn't handled promptly and to our liking. Our camper is left at Lakewood all of the time in their storage department and I just couldn't imagine camping
anywhere else in Myrtle Beach. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a excellent campground. It's in South Myrtle Beach right between Ocean Lakes Campground and Pirateland Campground. We went the week before Easter. Not everything was in great shape as they were still working on things. It is a very family friendly and has events scheduled for each day. They have a small restaurant (walk-up) by the arcade and the pool. Be careful about sites near the playground, they play basketball all night. We've also stayed at the campgrounds on both sides, this is comparable, better than Pirateland, IMHO. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I guess it depends on what you're after, but I'm not interested in returning. The facilities and staff were great. The problem was small sites and diesel engines, which roar constantly. Traffic of all kinds was so busy we couldn't let the kids ride their bikes without us to "protect" them as they rode. The park was too jammed and busy for us. Dalmatians, rotts, shepherds, dobes, akitas, chows and pit bulls are all banned here. Only two of these breeds are generally recognized as vicious and idiot owners are the problem.

We have stayed at Lakewood about 5 times in the last three years. Not for pet lovers, they have changed their policy with out any warning to a unreal policy of a 35 lb weight limit on ALL PETS. We have choc and black labs at 65 lbs, pure sweet hearts. We were turned away after sending down a full deposit. It was Ok'd when I called and made reservations. We really liked staying there, location is geat, shopping nearby. But our pets are our family. Will not go there again. This was a bad way to rule out any aggressive dogs from entering their property. Not a well planned rule. Good luck. We camped here in a camper.

Very nice park about 2 blocks from the beach. It’s an easy walk /bike ride or the campground offers a shuttle. The campground rents golf carts but are only allowed inside the park. We rented from Best Golf Carts so we could take it outside the park. The park is located near the heart of Myrtle Beach but you will never know it when you're in the campground. We looked at 5 parks last summer and this was far and away the best in distance between sites, facilities, and beach access (although there are some CG's with direct beach access the sites are packed together. No thanks!!). The main bath house appears new (<2 years) and was very clean with lots of room. Notables: fire rings are available for a $25 refundable deposit. Pool and splash pad are outstanding. Highly recommend you bring ant killer and spray around tires, jacks, stabilizers, hoses, anything that touches the ground. This will keep ants out of your RV. There a two sections. The upper section is nice and has cabins, back-in, pull through, and tent sites. This section is very shaded, although if you have a satellite you can request a site with no trees to obstruct your view. There are a few "park models" for overnight rental in this area, but they appear to be well maintained. The lower section (sites in the 300's) appears older and other than the few sites along the creek appear to be mostly semi-permanent. There are also several "stored" RV's in this section, many appears they've been stored for a long long time. It's too bad they've allowed the storage to detract from an otherwise outstanding park. I rated this park lower because of the Wi-Fi and their lack of restrictions on the types of dogs (pits bulls & Rottweiler’s). For the first two days we had persistent Wi-Fi issues. Despite calls to the TengoInternet help desk, emails to their support, the problems continued. It appeared to clear up by the end of day 2 then resurfaced on day 4. The turn-around time noted on Tengo's website is 24 hours, clearly unacceptable for broadband help desk. To be fair, TengoInternet manages the in-park network but the data service is through Horry County Telephone. Either one, or both: could have been source of the problem.

The KOA was nice. The sites were fairly level, at least the camper portion. The staff was friendly, and the registration process was quick, and we were escorted to our site by staff – even though it was raining heavily. Our particular pull through was level pulling in and where the camper was, but dropped off a bit to the exit road side. Because of the angle of my truck to the 5th wheel it was a little more difficult to unhitch. The campground area we were in was wooded and mostly pull-thourghs, full hookup, 50 amp sites. The campground was pretty quiet unlike what I heard about many of the ocean front campgrounds in Myrtle Beach. The Wi-Fi was great; best I have had at a campground so far. We were visiting Myrtle Beach to visit relatives, shop, and see a show at the Carolina Orpy, so not being right along the ocean was great for us – much less noise and traffic. Even on a slight angle I had no problem hitching or getting out of our site. The campground had a number of older camp models for rent and cabins (no facilities). We would stay here again.

We had a large, level, gravel pull through site that had a picnic table and charcoal grill. The section we stayed in was reminiscent of a state park with large trees (to some that will translate to no satellite signal). Staff was helpful and the facilities clean. Some of the restrooms/showers were quite primitive but they are building a new bath house to replace those. Long term residents are in their own section of the park. Nice Kamp K-9, about 50 x 60 feet with some agility toys. For large, active dogs the 3 foot high fence may not be adequate. Waste bags are provided. Easy walk from the park to a CVS pharmacy, fast food, and a couple of real restaurants. We camped here in a Motorhome.

It was a bit tough wending our way through crowded Myrtle Beach traffic to campground. Very pleasant staff at desk. We were escorted to our pull-through FHU 30/20 site, but staff missed it on first go round so we had make the circuit again. Staff member did save us from accidentally leaving our surge guard when we left. We had to use blocks to level. Beautiful free pool, water park, jumping pillow, playground, fun dog agility play areas, nice store, large laundry. Free hourly shuttle to beach during day, although at 4-5 long blocks from beach it is quite walkable if you don’t have a ton of stuff. Trash pick up at site daily. The site was very messy with lots of mud and pine needles from the very thick trees overwhelming the rock and therefore was constantly tracked into motorhome. Tengo WiFi gave problems logging on and slowed to a stall at times despite being right by antenna. This is a huge campground and perhaps that overwhelmed the cleaning capabilities for the restrooms, which we found not at all clean and plagued by a screeching fan belt in a 9 pm bathroom and shower attempt, so daughter would never go back. Lots of golf carts and trucks exceeding speed limits. Nothing effective was ever done about our unfortunate neighbor who wouldn’t use a secure sewer connection despite repeated requests to him and management. This stunk up our grill area. All said, we would probably return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We are in site #161A, and it is level, with lots of space between sites. Have not been here before, but will return when in the area. We highly recommend this KOA. By all means if you are pulling up campgrounds for Outer Banks, check out the campgrounds at Waves, NC., but stay away from the KOA at Rodanthe, NC. because we had a bad experience there. The KOA here in Myrtle Beach is one of the nicest KOAs that we have stayed at. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

Great park. Very clean bathhouses (cleaned at least twice a day while we were here). Roomy sites, particularly for the Myrtle Beach area: much more room than the ocean-front campgrounds. All sites were level that we saw and huge shade trees made them comfortable even when it was over 85' outside. Roads are paved, and each person is escorted to their site and assisted if desired, with placing rig on site. Campground is within comfortable walking distance of the ocean, along with CVS, and several restaurants. 2 very clean pools, along with 'baby pool', as well as a water 'splash' area that was great fun for us and our 18 month old grandson! Many scheduled activities during weekends in the Spring, more during the weekdays in the Summer. We have been here several times, and its obvious money has been spent to maintain a nice CG. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We have never stayed at a KOA before. We had so not great impressions of them. But I will tell you we were pleasantly surprised. Although the price was a bit high for not being on the ocean, we enjoyed our short stay. We chose this KOA because they were one of the only places that allow you to stay for one night. We were picking up our travel trailer out of storage from another campground and wanted to stay the one night and this was the only place available. The staff was very friendly. Everyone we came in contact with, greeted us and asked us how we were doing. We were escorted to our site where they helped guide us onto the level site. The restrooms were clean, but could use a little updating. My daughter really enjoyed the pool and air pillow trampoline thing. It was a very quiet and peaceful place. The store has some very basic stuff for sale in it. I do believe they have hot coffee as well. We would definitely stay again. The only real negative thing was the price. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We arrived at 5:00pm and check in went smoothly. I had reserved a deluxe spot which was beautiful. Nice concrete pad beside a crushed stone parking space. The back of the site had a wooden private deck that overlooked a small lake. The only problem is that I picked that because on the map online those were the closest to the Kamp K-9 dog run. Apparently they moved it and we couldn't have been farther away. The staff was friendly and led me to the site and was there to help backing in. The store on site had ample supplies and food. The location is about 3 blocks from the ocean with one major street crossing. It's not too hard to cross as there is a stoplight. There is also plenty of life nearby. Bars and entertainment are all within comfortable walking distance. I know we'll be back! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Hello fellow RVers! I would highly recommend the Myrtle Beach KOA. Even though it does not have beach access (technically you could walk to the beach, but it is several blocks, so I don't recommend walking from the campground). This is a well laid out, clean campground with LOTS of shade and activities for the kids to do. There's a nice pool and small water park area, a large jumping "pillow", playground, paved roads for biking, camp store, small fenced area for your dogs to go off-leash. The staff was very nice and helpful in getting you to other places you want to visit. Also, about 3-4 miles away, there's a very nice/large dog park (but it's hard to find...look it up on the internet first). We'll definitely stay here the next time we visit Myrtle Beach.

Well, this is the first place we stayed after purchasing a camper. It was the only place I could find in Myrtle Beach to stay, We got only electric and water, no sewer. They stuck us in the "tent" section. Drunk mustang club or something, they all drove mustangs, which was cool. But loud all night, dropping the "F" bomb no matter who was around. We had to get the security guards every night to come quite them down after the "quite time" started. They said they were only a couple blocks from the beach! Ha, my eye! Anyway one and done!

KOA campground itself - staff very friendly, the park is very well kept however the WIFI was not good. We were in deluxe site and unable to connect to WIFI. The staff indicates they are using a new provider and are not sure why we are not connecting. The deluxe site are amongst seasonal sites and stored units. Roads in this area kind of tight but workable for backing in. There were unannounced activities during our week stay. Our Granddaughter was not happy about missing activities. We have heard of ripoffs in RV park stores but this was the worst - they wanted $8 a gallon for milk - just down the road at Food Lion it is $2.99. Needless to say we stayed away from purchasing items in the camp store. Negatives of campground, but out if their control - constant flyover by sightseeing helicopter rides. o low at times cannot hear people talking. The traffic was terrible plus the campground advertises small walk to beach - it is about 4 blocks that is dangerous. Crossing one major road with light however the other two roads, in particular Ocean Blvd, there is no crosswalk. When taking your swim gear and children this is really, really bad and dangerous. We would still stay here again. Just make sure you do not arrive on a Saturday - will take forever to get into MB due to stop and go traffic. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We love this campground. It's clean and sites are level. Bathhouses are very nice and cleaned regularly. Staff is excellent. Trash pickup is always right on time and the pool area is clean! We have stayed here on 3 other occasions and plan to stay here on all our camping trips to Myrtle. The walk to the beach is about 2 blocks and the grocery store is about the same distance. It's close enough to the beach for a beach lover and far enough away for those who don't care so much for the ocean. We don't have small children but there are a lot of kids activities going on all the time. We have met so many great people there! It's just a warm relaxing campground and we will go back again and again! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We like to stay in KOA parks since we have always had positive experiences. This park is the best park we have ever stayed in. The staff was very helpful and available. They checked us in at the gate, gave us our site and said to come back and register when we settled in. The sites were very ample in size and the park was very clean, well kept and lots of space to walk and 3 blocks to the beach. We hated to leave we enjoyed it so much.Great park!!!

We again made this reservation online and asked for a site which can accommodate our Volvo Hauler and 5th wheel and again KOA came through with our request, First they took me on the route on their golf cart to see if our truck and 5th wheel would fit (excellent courtesy move), trees are close to curves throughout the access roads, we were escorted and assisted in positioning into the site, Staff was very courteous and polite. If you come in from Rt 501 turn off on 3rd Ave because it is a Monster Right turn if you go to Kings street. We will return again in the future. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We were there for 2 weeks, and have absolutely no complaints. Lots of things for kids to do, a lovely dog park, nice big sites, lots of room for your toad. Level sites. Will be back there for sure.

This is our third winter here at the KOA Myrtle Beach, but it will be our last. The back-in sites are wonderful, our fellow snow-birders are top-notch, the place is beautiful and ideal for walking, but there has been a change in this once delightful place. The uncaring staff is sometimes less than helpful and sometimes needlessly rude - whether through ability or intent. Do not be surprised if you walk into the office to see the manager's wife ripping a staffer apart in front of customers who must wait until she has made public mincemeat of the victim staffer before the customer can be waited on. Do not be surprised to see a homeless person ride into the park to take a shower on campus - because security is so minimal here in a neighborhood surrounded by trailer parks. If you really want to stay here and you have been told that all of the sites are full, call back and ask for someone else. If you want a 30amp site but are directed to a 50amp site that costs more, even though there are a lot of available 30amp sites, be aware that the campground appears to be having some financial difficulties, made worse by management's dishonesty. If you book one of the kamping lodges, that they tell you is equipped for cooking, be aware that "equipped" means that there is one frying pan, one sauce pan that you can get if you ask for one at the office, no lids, no mixing bowls, or other kitchen amenities that were there in years past. Many (but not all) of the people at the desk are dishonest or uncaring. Some are merely incompetent and lazy. Book your reservation on line if you want guaranteed rates. Then save your receipt. It is not unheard of to have to prove your guaranteed rate by showing your receipt/reservation. If ever I saw a management team intent on destroying the reputation of an otherwise beautiful and formerly delightful RV park, the current management team is doing that. How sad. The low nighly rate reflects a discount received by paying for three months in advance during the off-season. Two years ago, I would have given this place a 10 out of 10. This year, it is a solid 3 We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice campground. Activities for children spaced out throughout the week. Good location. No fire pits but if you ask for one they will bring one to your site. We stayed in a full hook up back in site with sand, only problem was the small ants. We put Comet down on all areas that ants could crawl up and this solved the problem. Bath house was clean but they are dated. Internet access but must use Linkspot for a cost, you set it up. Great reception for internet. I would stay again but would like to be closer to North Myrtle beach, about a 30 minute drive. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We chose this park based on reviews, their location and rates. Although the park itself is fine, I wanted to point out a couple of things that I had not seen on prior posts. There are no firepits at campsites. We were told by the staff that we could have a fire if we had our own firepit. Unfortunately we don't carry one with us and were not told this prior to our arrival. To us, a fire is a major part of our camping experience. Second, the bathhouses were clean but they are dated and not nearly as nice as some of the newer bathhouses we have had at other KOA's. Third, we found the staff to be adequate at best. They didn't seem to want to go the extra mile even on simple requests like where is a good place to eat. Finally, our site (w/e backin) was sandy and when it rained it became very messy. Some sites in the full hookup section had stone. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was a nice campground located in the middle part of Myrtle Beach. The site we had was tight and had to do a lot of checking before I dropped the jacks because of the trees. Once we did get into the site it was nicely shaded. We didn't have a car with us which limited us on what we could do around Myrtle Beach. Overall this campground and staff were great.

Very nice park; clean, friendly and well-kept. The first night they put us into a really strange site on dirt with electric hookup on the right of the unit, sewer on the left and water/CATV directly behind. In order to use all 4 hookups we had to back right up to a cabin, which fortunately wasn’t occupied. When we asked to move the next morning, they gave us our pick of the entire park and we ended up in a beautiful back-in site with a patio on coarse red gravel framed by trimmed logs. Terrific bath house, laundry and store. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A very nice campground. We have stayed here before and again were very satisfied. We stayed for a week during "spring break". Almost all the sites are shaded and are big,compared to the other campgrounds in Myrtle Beach. A putt-putt course is at the road leading to the campground. Check-in was easy and the staff was very friendly. The Campstore is well stocked. The only drawback for us was the lack of children's activitities. Of course, that also means there is no golf carts zooming all over either. We will camp here whenever we come to Myrtle Beach. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed in one of their premium sights right on a Bay inlet. Very nice. We had our own
cement patio with a nice wood deck and table overlooking the small water way inlet. Rest of the sights seem spacious enough and are in the trees. We stayed when the park was a little slow. I'll bet not so quiet when the place is full. Great location to Visit the Myrtle Beach area. Not direct Beach front, but access is about three blocks away and you are off the beaten path. Go for the premium sites. Love the wireless - that is how I am imputing this. All parks should go to wireless internet connections. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A teriffic park. There are more than enough bathhouses for weekenders and they are
spotless! The flooring in the bathhouses allows them to stay clean between frequent cleanings. Remarkable! We have a large travel trailer pulled by a large pick up truck, and we had no trouble at all with the access roads or the size of the sites. The pool is nice and the store is well stocked. This is a great location, in the middle of everything, only 1/2 mile from the ocean. Seasonals are separate from 'transients', which is OK too. Very friendly and helpful staff. Once we arrived on Thanksgiving Day when the camp store was closed. An employee helped us pick out a site suitable for our needs, escorted us to the site, and checked on us later to make certain everything was all right. I am certain it is busy and crowded in the Spring and Summer. We have camped there in the 'off season' and find it very, very pleasant. IN the fall and winter they run specials where free nights camping are given. We have camped here 5 times in the past 4 years, and will return again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Visit annually. Very, very clean restrooms and showers. We go at different times of the year and it is always comfortable and clean. Separate seasonal sections from weekenders. Good camp store. Modum hookup in office a convenience. Nice pool, but not really good for cool weather, as the 'bubble' might indicate. Sites large enough, but some do not allow campfires. (Pull-thrus) Employees very helpful when we have been there. Very convenient location. Great shopping, shows and minor league baseball close by.

My family really loved this state park! We went just for the weekend to celebrate a birthday. The park is awesome in so many ways. The drive in is just the beginning of a beautiful state park. Check in was a breeze because we pre registered online and Jim(the campground host and check-in person was very helpful and friendly plus he was our neighbor for the weekend)guided us to our spot. We loved all the state park had to offer for our family. Miles of beach with no hotels close, fishing pier very close with a little store and super friendly employees, overall a really nice campground I would recommend to anyone. My only complaint is most of the rv sites are dirt and when it rains like it did the site is all muddy and some are under water. The sites need a little work and it would be nice if they were at least gravel. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

What more can you ask for except lower prices. You are a couple hundred yards from the beach. Level sites, quiet, nice hosts, pet friendly, family friendly, "bikeable", walkable. Everything you could ever need close by. The quiet does include a couple flights every once in a while, the airport glide path is about 1/2 mile to a mile away, but was more interesting than annoying. We saw Coast guard, Air Force, commercial flights, Awacs planes, actually pretty cool. Fish off the piers. We are extending our stay. Why not a 10...no one gets a 10. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Wednesday, Feb 13, 2013: Myrtle Beach State Park, Myrtle Beach, SC. This park can be a little difficult to find with all the construction going on, but it is a beautiful place. $23 a night with water and electricity. It is located right on the Grand Strand and is a very popular campground; reservations are needed – even now two loops were filled. There is a campground, cabins, beach, fishing pier, nature center, and playgrounds throughout the park, and it is a great place to ride bikes. It is near everything on the strip, yet it is very peaceful and beautiful. One can ride their bikes before May 1 and after Labor Day right on the beach during low tide. Sites are shaded in five loops but are not that private. Nice campground! The check-in staff was informative, friendly, and very helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park is a nice respite from the mini golf and beach stores up and down the main drag. It is close to shopping. Down side: you are almost at the end of Myrtle Beach International Airport. Although it is not as busy as an airport in a major city they have a steady flow of air traffic plus the Air Force is not adverse to using this field for touch and go's in C130's with a couple of fighters thrown into the mix. Flights have been know to start about 0530 am. The Upside: All roads are paved with sand sites, nice showers with good pressure and lots of hot water (some are older than others), washers and dryers, sites are not on top of one another and water and power at all the sites except the overflow sites. They also have full hook up sites. They have free Wi-Fi at the store and Verizon MiFi works well here. You are a short walk from the beach, a fishing pier, and park trails. All the staff was very friendly. They lock the gates at 10pm but they will give you the combo to get back in and there's no alcohol allowed in the park. If I ever come back to Myrtle Beach I will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Despite the fact that this campground stays busy year around, it is the perfect place to unwind and find the serenity and peace you were hoping for. The park is beautiful and meticulously maintained. The staff are super, super nice and helpful... they make you feel like family. They have two little stores that are absolutely charming and my grand kids and I love to fish off of the pier. Cute little boardwalk that runs along the ocean is perfect for someone like me who does not get around so well by foot anymore. The sunsets and sunrises both never seem to disappoint.

Most state campgrounds don’t offer E, W & S but this one does. However, even though I made reservations a couple of months ago, there were no sewer sites available that my 31’ trailer would fit. However they put us near the office where we could still get internet reception. Internet is only available in and around the office/store. The site was a bit skinny, and needed some pruning to give us a little room. Since it’s a state park there is an ordinance against cutting plant life, etc., but thankfully a Ranger came out to the site and did a lot of trimming to give us some extra space on our first day. Sandy soil and a short walk to the beach. Campsites are level. After campers check out, I noticed a guy comes to site and cleans out ashes from fire ring, rakes and straightens up picnic table to make it good for the next campers.

South Carolina has the most picturesque state parks anywhere in the USA. We had a site across from the camp store and the Wi-Fi was fast and strong. We had a full hookup site and it worked well for us. Not satellite friendly, but we managed to get a 90 signal on Direct TV. Scenery is gorgeous and the rangers are really friendly.

Nice park NEAR the beach. It was about a 1/2 mile to the beach from our campsite. You can walk it, but it is quite a distance lugging chairs etc. Sites are very large and shaded. They could stand to cut a few trees as they can scrape the side of your unit. You have to be very careful of wandering children and kids on bikes. They are not looking out for you. Phone reception was fine with Verizon, but only place for WiFi is the store. The bath house near our campsite could use some upgrading. They work hard, but it difficult to keep the showers clean with the heavy use. We were able to get out 35 foot motorhome in our site with not too much trouble. Lots to do around the park.

Great park, clean, shaded, and we had a full hookup site. Camp in the woods, walk to the beach or pier. We made reservations during the week, the full hookups go fast. Reservations can be made 11 months out. Don't pass up this wonderful park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice beach and state park but the campground is way overrated. Here is why we give it only a 5: (1) Inflexible staff. We had a reservation for two days, wanted to stay 4 days and had to move after two days despite several sites were vacant all the time. We asked to get on one of these sites but were turned down because of reservations. (2) We stayed over a weekend, the campground was filled with tent campers, burning all wood they could get and turning the campground in a kind of refugee camp. (3) Local airport is busier than you think, first departure is 5:30 am right over your site, so you don't need any kind of wake up call. WiFi only at the shop and the loop around it. The dump station was very good but only one for all the sites without sewer. We would not stay here again, we think there are better value for money options in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

There is only one lane for all vehicles (registered and non-registered) to enter the park, so be prepared for ridiculously long wait times to enter the park. And at the campground registration building, with only one staff handling both reservations and the concessions, expect long waits to register as well. There is free Wi-Fi however, as with most state parks, it is exasperatingly slow and only works near the office. This is a large campground with about 350 sites, which generally are quite close together. Sites have electric and water, 54 have sewer and there are 7 pull-through sites. Most sites are shaded. There are a few short walking trails and fishing is available on the pier (permit = $5/day). The beach is truly wonderful (the nicest beach, north of Florida, that I have been to) and only a short walk from the campground. However, during the time that we were here, the campground was filled with screaming kids, dogs that bark loudly anytime someone walked past their site, adults and children who drive their bikes through your site, and campers who do not pick up after their dogs. I have never encountered a more ignorant group of redneck campers than those at Myrtle Beach. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very, very nice state park. Overall, very quiet. Lots of activities for kids. Short walk to the beach, with a nice pier there. The campsites are all shady (meaning no/little satellite reception) and most are easy to get into. We went around the campground area on our daily walks and noticed some looked to be difficult to get into with large rigs. All sites do not have sewer hookups. You can pick your exact spot when you make your reservations, even seeing a picture of the site. All in all, we loved the park and are looking forward to coming here again. We hated to leave for home! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

What a wonderful campground! Nice wooded sites just a quick walk to the beach. Clean bathhouses and showers with hot water - not lukewarm water like other state parks I've camped in, but nice hot water. Friendly staff and volunteers, a camp store that stays open late enough to be useful, and all a short drive from grocery stores and entertainment. Can't wait to camp here again!

We love camping at Myrtle Beach State Park. The sites are large, with some being very private. The beach is a very short walking distance from the campsites. The campground is very quiet at night, but there is a risk of copperhead snakes. We actually found one on our site when we camped in April. We went back again in July and it was super hot. There is little sea breeze due to the campground being down in a hole. We have already made reservations to go back next April. This is my favorite campground with plenty of attractions nearby for everyone. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This is a nice state park campground. Relatively short walk to the beach. Staff was very friendly and always present. It was a very quiet place considering the number of campers that were there, (4th of July week). I rated the restrooms and showers as clean, but go early. Lots of people and lots of sand make for very sandy floors. They do an excellent job of cleaning, once sometimes twice a day. I found it easy to get to with my Garmin. Only advice is that if you are going to the park from the West, it is a nice easy drive from Columbia on 378 to Conway then take 544 South. It brings you out on Kings Highway just South of the park and an easy right turn into the entrance. If you go in on 501, you will spend at least an hour getting to the park once you get close to Myrtle Beach - lots of traffic. We would stay there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I feel that this is the best CG in the Myrtle Beach area. It is the only one that I have been to that is basically a forest, right next to the beach. Wonderful, and the rangers and volunteers do an exceptional job. The bath houses could use a little updating, but that is easily overlooked with the location and amenities of this fabulous CG. It is getting harder to reserve sites here, so book early. You will enjoy it. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was our second stop on our Florida trip. The campground was hard to find (ignore your Magellan GPS!!) but once here, it was very nice. We were in a front site near the entrance so the beach was steps down a path. The restrooms were clean and showers free. Full hookups and WiFi. Staff was very pleasant. My only concern was there is a sign posted (glad they did post this) they have issues with Copperhead Snakes and advise you to not wear open shoes. Yeah, right when you head out to go to the beach. We just walked slowly and observantly. Great place though with nice laundry room on site. We definitely will return in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A great place to stay, so much so, that we tried to stay another night, but no go. Full up on the weekend. Huge park fully covered with trees. The entry drive is spectacular! Roads in the CG are narrow, but one way and the access is fine. Our Verizon phone worked fine. Very quiet at night, in spite of the nearness of the airport. Beach is close and beautiful with a large pier for fishing. All of the State personnel were friendly and helpful. We'd surely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Beautiful, well maintained state park. Be careful when making reservations online at Reserve America if you have a large rig. Site entrances can be very tight, all sites are heavily wooded so be sure to look at pictures and read the site information. Short walk to Ocean and a long white, sand beach. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Can pick up some TV stations on antenna, Verizon cell and air card worked fine. Sites are nicely spaced. We had FHU/30amp for price above. Definitely the best place to stay in Myrtle Beach. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Just finished our first stay at Myrtle Beach State Park. I have to say WOW! We couldn't be more surprised. This was our first stay at any SC State Park, but won't be our last. Everyone we came in contact with were extremely friendly and helpful. The rangers, staff and volunteers run a tight ship, yet make you feel safe and secure. The only negative, and I hesitate to call it a negative, is TV reception. We traveled with our two labs, and were happy with the number of pets we saw in the park. Easy travel to beach and numerous walking paths. Access to restaurants and shopping for anything and everything. We cannot wait to return soon. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a very nice state park and the rates are good for this area. Some sites are a little narrow for backing into. The staff seemed to know the larger sites for large rigs and very helpful. The store has ice cream, etc; and there were no speed bumps. One thing I didn't like was they charge you for Reserve America even if you didn't make a reservation through them. In my opinion, Reserve America data is often not very accurate and cannot be trusted. Why should they charge the fee when the service wasn't used? State Parks wake up. There has to be another way. My other dislike (not the park's fault) is the 11% in taxes they collect. Even with the extra charges, it was a good deal and I would return to this park, but will probably avoid SC in the future because of the taxes. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camped at Site # 98 for 4 nights, and the fee I quoted included all of the fees, Reserve America and taxes included. We were able to receive more TV stations over the air by using a small portable TV antenna. Sprint cell phone reception was good. The password for using the Wi-Fi at the park is displayed on both front doors of each store, so whether you are at the fishing pier or the campground store, you can easily connect to the Internet. We were also able to connect to the Wi-Fi at our site, if we sat outside our camper. Reserve America does have pictures of most of the actual campsites on their website, so this is a big help! Bathrooms were kept clean, I only wish that there was more ventilation in the bathrooms, fans and cleaned off screen vents would be a big help. You can walk to the beach from your campsite, or you can also drive to various parking lots scattered along the beach and park closer. Many of the lots at the beach also have bath houses and outside showers for personal needs. Although in the past the gate has been closed at night, this year they had a security guard posted, and we were able to come and go any time of the day or night. I would still advise calling ahead for a late arrival, to get the security code for the gate, just in case they change their policy. There are programs for children and families at the nature centers. I wish they had the schedules posted near the restrooms, so that more people could know about them. The fishing pier is open nightly, and there are fish cleaning stations positioned along for clean up. We enjoyed walking along the beach at dusk and visiting the pier to see if the fishermen had luck catching fish. The beach usually has gentle waves and is very safe for swimming. Everything is cleaned up pretty well, we did not see much trash laying about anywhere. This is one of my favorite parks to visit. I wish we lived closer! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

What a great campground and beach! The location is terrific: walk out your door and you are walking on a boardwalk to the beach. Even though we made our reservation five months in advance, we were not able to get a space with full hook-ups. But, that didn't stop us from falling in love with this State Park and the surrounding area. Our motorhome is 38 ft with three slides, and we tow a truck...there was plenty of room in our site for all of our stuff! We will be coming back and if we can get full hookups, we'll be staying for a week or two. Campground is also close to Murrell's Inlet, which has great seafood markets and restaurants.

This is a well-run state park, with a lot of facilities. All of the sites seem shady, and are fairly close together. We stayed here in the summer, and nearly all the sites were full. That being said, it was still relatively clean. There is a beach in the park, and it was very nice, with showers and restrooms close by. The only real issue, was that the park sits at the southeastern end of Myrtle Beach Intl. Airport, and the usual traffic pattern has the jets landing right over your head. The planes start at about 6:00 am, and continue through 10:30-11:00 pm. There are very few sites with sewer hookups, but they have a dump station. We were here for 3 nights, and enjoyed our stay. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was one of the best campgrounds we have ever stayed in. The sites are very shady. Most sites were large and roomy. They are a few sites that are kind of small. We stayed in the back in site 316 and loved it. When we come again we will stay in the back again. Access to the ocean is easy. There are lifeguards there each day. They have a nature center and activities for children on most days. Bathrooms were great for a state park. There are only a few sites with sewage access and they are towards the front. Also you can only get Wi-Fi if you are at the store or in a site near it. Staff was very friendly and helpful. There is a grocery store right across from the entrance which is very convenient. We brought our bikes and it is a great place to ride around. We enjoyed our stay and will camp here again next summer. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was a beautiful park, like previous poster said, a short walk to beach. Was told by host that the day use people were usually not allowed in the campers beach area unless it was the 4th of July. The site we were in was small and fairly close to neighbor, but there is a lot of greenage that keeps you semi separated and gave a feel of privacy. We were in between 2 pine trees that did give problems when came time to leave. On the day we arrived there was no one in the site in front of us so was able to pull into that site and back into ours. We will stay here again and hope to have a site not as tight.

The entrance to the park is very inviting and very well landscaped. However, once entering the park we found the sites were extremely close together, particularly for a state park. The site was level. WiFi is not available at your site but is available at ranger station and gift shop. The volunteer check in person was very nice and helpful. The cleanliness of the beach was very poor. There should be resources expended to keep the trash and litter down. The showers and restrooms were filthy: worst ever seen at a campground. If we return to Myrtle Beach, we will stay at one of the private campgrounds even though they are quite a bit more in price. We were counting the days till it was time for our previously paid site to get to our departure date. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here for 7 days and would recommend this state park to anyone. Although we thought we were getting a site with sewer, we didn't but that was OK. Sites are level and the park is very clean. Entering the park you find beautiful shade trees and azaleas. The beach is awesome and very clean. Your pets are allowed before 8 AM and after 5 so that is nice. Although I hate that there are some who will not clean up after their pets regardless: it is those types that mess things up for those who will. If caught those people should be fined. I would stay here again and the price is reasonable, especially for the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here for 4 days in January when they only have the first 2 loops open. It's a very pleasant place to camp. Decent sized, level sites, friendly and helpful staff. This was our first visit to a campground in our RV, and I was having trouble emptying the grey water tank. One of the rangers actually helped me and even though it got messy, he never stopped smiling! I think most people think "golf" when they hear "Myrtle Beach," but I'll forever think "Miniature golf"- just a few miles up the road in town there are more miniature golf courses than anywhere else in the world, I think, each one bigger, more elaborate and more bizarre than the next! We will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice park with friendly staff. This was off season so there were plenty of spaces available, but from my walks around the campground I think it would feel crowded during summer season with sites filled. Most are good size but often there is no privacy between sites. Not so much a problem if your neighbor is respectful, but I can see how this might be an issue for some. Wi-Fi access is good if near the Ranger station: not sure about outside loops. Airport air traffic is not constant so it was tolerable. I did notice that planes would interfere with the TV air reception. Didn't try satellite. Beach is very nice except for horse manure. If dog owners are required to pick up waste, why aren't horse owners? Good location: easy access to Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach and Murrells Inlet. Great park during off season but it might be too "crowded" during summer season for me. I'd camp here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

My husband and I loved this park. Because we are old-fogies, we were not looking for a swimming pool or miniature golf course. What we got was a beautiful welcome to the park driving under a tree-lined entranceway. Sites (we were in #15 and had access to Wi-Fi in our RV) were shaded and more than adequate for our 32-footer. The beach and fishing pier were just a short walk away. The park is very conveniently located on Rt 17, only a few miles south of Myrtle Beach proper. We were sorry that we had made time for only a two-night stay and would certainly return. Our complaints were two. We enjoyed the 1/2 mile trail in the woods but would have wanted more trail ways. Secondly: the state and local taxes add 20% more to the cost of the stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is one of the best state parks we have been to. This park offers a lot in an area that offers much. To start with, the interior roads are now paved. The campsites are mostly level. About 20 to 30 of them have full hook-ups with water, sewer, and electric. Cable TV, phone, and a pool are not available here at this park. There is ample space between most sites. The site (205) that we are on is 80% private. The bathhouses are in decent shape. The one closest to us is about 20 years old and it shows. There are other bathhouses that are in better shape. They are all clean and function in the way they are supposed to. Our site had a fire ring and a wooden picnic table. The camp store offers Wi-Fi and the sites in rows 1, 2, and 3 have some coverage too. The park store offers coffee, cokes and other supplies. The local newspaper can be purchased there as well. The beach here is super. This state park has an ocean pier that one can fish from. Plus, there is a gift shop with local items, plus bait for fishing. There is a boardwalk that runs from the pier to about where the campground starts. There are plenty of picnic tables scattered about and shelters. There are two major walking/nature trails. I understand there is a lone gator out in the pond. The staff here seems to be nice and most appear to enjoy their jobs. One ranger has been here 15 years. She was and is a blessing. Pets are welcomed and I noticed pets’ pickup stations throughout the park. The beach here is wonderful as it slopes off just right. Plus, there are plenty of sharks’ teeth to be found here. There are lifeguards stationed there and they seem to keep a close eye out for swimmers. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We loved this park. It is surrounded by a beautiful, maritime forest and all the sites are shady. Store is well supplied; and the fishing pier gift shop has a nice selection of gift items. Beach is clean and beautiful. We were impressed by how quiet it was: considering the size of the campground and the number of people there. Convenient to all attractions. Our site #3, was set back with no privacy, hence the 9 rating. This is the place for you if you prefer a woodsy "real" campground feeling rather than a rowdy resort atmosphere.

A great park with a great lifeguarded beach! The bathhouses were clean and well maintained. There is a lot to do in surrounding Myrtle Beach, too and attractions are fairly close. We liked this park and its value so much that we are considering staying for a week next summer! It was very crowded (hence the reason it didn't get a 10), since it is a popular park so it made bike riding for the kids a little difficult, plus it is a big park and younger kids left to bike alone (as well as directionally challenged adults) might find it hard to find the campsite after wandering off. The playground was adequate for the kids, though also crowded during the afternoon with day users. There is also a hiking trail that we didn't get the chance to go on. There is lots to do at a great nightly rate. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

The only drawback was the park says it's campground has free Wi-Fi but only if you're in the sites right by the camp store. Our site was in loop 2 and therefore the signal wouldn't reach us.

Beautiful beach a short walk away via nice boardwalks. The Wi-Fi covers the two loops nearest the store adequately. Others will have to use the picnic table next to it. Some of the sites are rather small and some have inconveniently placed trees that could be a problem for large rigs. I'm not suggesting they should stay away just pick their site carefully. On site 29 I couldn't find a way to park my 30 foot TT so I could open the slide out and awning at the same time. The laundromat is one of the nicest I've ever seen at a campground. I wouldn't avoid coming back but I think I prefer Huntington Beach State Park a few miles away. Good cell coverage. Satellite Dish is possible, but difficult, from some sites.

Well managed and run state park that we have been going to for years, just keeps getting better. The roads are paved in the loops, so dust is no longer a problem, that walk to the beach area can be long if your in the far end of the campground, but you can drive (parking lot) or bike right to the beach. The park is clean,clean,clean, and the natural beauty of the area is just awesome! Plenty of trails and there are nature activities for the kids. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The two inner loop sites are very close together and only partially shaded. The outer loop sites are spread further apart and heavily shaded - I recommend those. Great access to the beach, only a short walk. Even though they are constantly emptying the garbage, it still gets piled up in those tiny dumpsters they use. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was our first trip to Myrtle Beach State Park. There are quite a variety of sizes of sites in the campground. Some sites were huge and some were very small. We were fortunate to get our site so close to a holiday. Our site was not huge but not tiny either. The site behind us was huge but their fire ring was almost up against our camper. We had to make sure our camper wasn't in danger. There is only one dump station for this huge campground. There are more sites without sewer than with sewer. There definitely are lots of tents here. We did see several tents on full hookup sites. The workers were always extremely pleasant everywhere we went. The beach was great and very close. The roads are paved and trees are abundant. We didn't see any road that was hard to maneuver in this campground. Some sites would be hard to get into because of trees. We have definitely seen state parks with lots more tighter squeezes on the roads. We will go back but will be much more selective about a site. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A beautiful park and shade every where. The sites are tight and large rigs will have a difficult time unless they know the site from previous visits. We had site 115 and had just enough room for the slides and awning for a fifth wheel. Full hookups are limited and some of these sites had tents on them. The week we were there was tent city or appeared that way. Rest rooms floors were some of the worst but that is the norm for a beach area. Would visit again but I now know what sites to choose. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was our first camping trip to the beach and we were pleasantly surprised! The campground is beautiful. It is very wooded. The roads are paved, which makes it a great place for riding bikes. There were several playsets throughout the park and a nature center with programs for the kids. The beach is very close and well kept. We loved it so much, that we've already booked another trip. We did hear the planes throughout the day, but you get used to it and we didn't hear any at night. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The rate we paid reflected a special discount the state was running this time of year. The sites are shaded, mostly pine and oak, with sandy ground. The first site we were on (#85) was long but not very wide; with a neighbor on #84 who had slides extended, it was just too narrow for our tastes. Plus, if somebody came in across the road, we'd be trapped; we'd need access to that site to make the turn out. Luckily, at this time of year it was easy to get another site down the road that provided more elbow room. The only real downer is the location of the airport, across from the park entrance. Some of the jets came in for their landing over the rig, and not very high above the tree line. That sent the dogs (and almost the humans!) diving for cover. The noise level was bordering on painful two or three times, although most of the flights came in over the beach. Plane activity seems concentrated around 8-10 a.m. and again in late afternoon. Mid-day, it's not bad. Plenty of areas to walk pets. In the closed loop area, it's nicely shaded. The beach area is beautiful, with a long boardwalk. The park also has a few interconnected nature trails, which are well-marked. Not sure I'd do them in hot weather, when creepy stuff would be out, but in January they were pleasant. On exiting, be VERY careful of an angled tree that leans over the park road. It's past the park office and ticket booth. Keep as far left in the lane as you can; the tree bears plenty of battle scars! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was our first time staying at this park. We arrived late and was directed to our site by map. This park has a lot of trees and you could see scars of many of them being hit. It is not so much the trees at your site but the one across the street that interferes with your getting into the sites. We did not hit anything but saw several scrape or have to have four or five people help get their rig into the site. I would not call this park big rig friendly,maybe aquainted but not friendly. We were there over Easter weekend and the park was full. The bath houses were clean in some aspects but the showers needed work, and a good cleaning. My DW said that the ladies showers were very dirty. Also if you wanted to wash your hands you would need to bring your own soap and paper towels,none were available. The biggest thing we had a problem with was the aircraft noise. You get used to it but planes taking off and landing go over the park. Military jets can be very annoying. This is a nice park but not impressive. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice campground with enough space between sites to allow some room to breathe. Lots of trees which provided plenty of shade, but also blocked TV reception and except for a very few sites, using a satellite dish was out of the question. They have converted 45 sites to full service. Staff was very helpful. Restrooms OK unless you had to visit them after the beach crowd began to return. We stayed here in a 30' motorhome and had no problems, but larger vehicles might. We'd stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

It might be good if you like trying to navigate an RV in a jungle. The trees were so thick and close together it took forever to back a 33' motor home into a site. It is very near the beach. I just didn't like it because of the "jungle conditions". I've seen "Tarzan" movies where the trees weren't that thick. Wouldn't go there again. Might be fine for a small rig or tent campers. We camped here in a camper.

A very nice park, easy to get to and very close to shopping and eating. Sites are mostly all pull-through, and as with most parks the sites are big enough but not over sized. We camped in a 40' fifth wheel and had just enough room for parking our truck. Most sites have a covered picnic table area, and most sites are level. You have easy ocean access, and they have very nice pool areas. The store is very well stocked with all types of supplies. The bath houses are very nice and very clean. The staff are really friendly and helpful, and they have very good security. Wi-Fi was good, but we were close to a bath house that had a unit on it. We enjoyed our stay and would consider staying here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is an excellent pick for an ocean side/front campground. It is well maintained and staffed. The only issue was the Wi-Fi. Signal strength was not reliable and the bandwidth was insufficient for e-mail. I think the problem may have been the distance from the antenna and again the lack of bandwidth. I would also think twice about purchasing propane from AmeriGas. It may be convenient but it is expensive and they hit you with strange charges. But do go, stay and enjoy.

We camped here in March for 5 nights just to have time away. We live in Charlotte, NC, so it was about a 4 hour drive for us. It was well worth it! We were in site 56, which was a great site if you have two big dogs like we do. There is a small grassy area right across the internal road for a quick doggie stop at night, and easy access to several other small grassy areas. This might be a harder place to have dogs when it's completely full as there didn't seem to be one designated dog-walk area. However, almost everyone here seemed to have a dog or two. Our site also had great access to the beach - just a few steps away. This would be a fantastic site in the summer. We had a shaded picnic table area and plenty of room to spread our patio rugs out (narrow but long). There really isn't much room between motorhomes, but we definitely could put out our awning and spread out a little. We found it very comfortable. The sites are sandy but then again, you're at the beach so you better expect it! Site 56 is also right across the internal road from a gathering place where they must have events during the busy times, so it could be loud or it could be right in the action, depending on what you're looking for. Also right near the Cafe By The Sea (which by the way was closed when we were there, as was the camp store; we didn't expect that of either one). No hot tub anywhere we could see, and the pool was rightfully closed during the cold time we were there. There is also a nice indoor pool we didn't use. The only issue we saw - and this would have been big if we were in those sites - was that the ocean came up over the dunes around sites 135-210; it was very flooded there. We could see they were working to build up a dam; not sure if that happens a lot in that area, but it would have been miserable to be in those sites at that time. Good washer/dryer facilities. Very nice people at reception. Lots to do in Myrtle Beach. All in all, a great experience and highly recommended! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Campground was nice. It was Christmas week so it was very quiet and not a lot of the amenities were open. No complaints though! We had a site that was very close to the beach and close to the bath houses. The campground is very centrally located to North Myrtle beach. The sites are big, and each has their own wooden structure over the picnic table. This would be good in the summer, for shade. Everyone was very nice, and the campground was nicely kept up. Lots of golf carts, but if you are a transient, you can't rent them, which is a little bit of a disappointment, but other that, the campground was great. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The wife and I stayed here over Thanksgiving. You can't reserve a specific site but upon arrival I found the site to be exactly what I asked for. It is typical of the other mega parks in the area. The beach sites are small and the roads are almost all dirt except for the main road and the permanent sites. The lake is very nice and not just a pond. They don't seem to have the issue with all of the golf carts. Maybe it was the time of year. They were full up however. All in all a very nice place. The beach did seem shallower than other places. That could have been due to the storm however. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Camped here 3 nights. Easy access to park with nice blacktop roads. Roads in the park and campsites are hard surfaced with shell and sand. Never had a problem with roads or campsite. They are really packed well. Our site was next to the beach dunes. We had a wonderful view of the ocean. Site include a table and cabana. Most sites on the ocean side are pull through, but all others are back-in. Staff was very friendly. Park is full on long stays from September to March. Many park homes. We would definitely stay here again. There are many activities in area and nice restaurants. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The price is weekly rate. Our check in was friendly, and we were given a map to find our site as well as information of the area. The site was level and long enough for our 37' fifth wheel but not wide. We were able to use the slides but not the awning. Covered picnic tables are in a poor spot for big rigs, so care is needed when exiting. The appearance of the tables surrounded by tarps and narrow sites lowered our rating. Utilities, cable, and Verizon were fine. The WiFi was slow but usable. Yes, most interior roads are sandy. You're at the beach! They were well maintained and graded after rains. Garbage is picked up at the site. Besides beautiful beaches and pools, just about everything anyone could want for a long term stay is within 5 miles. That includes outlet stores, restaurants, 2 theaters, 3 grocery stores, and fuel. Bathhouses were spotless day and night despite the sand. The laundry is large and clean. Bonus points for recycling and newspapers available next to the laundry/store. There is a wooded area for those who want a more campground feel with all the amenities. Other RVers were very friendly. We had to take narrow sites and a huge campground to be on the beach. It was worth it, and we will return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We camped here for the first time in our 40 ft 5th wheel with two small children for a week. We found it to be a nice, clean and quiet campground. Despite this being a large campground with hundreds of sites, we did not feel cramped or over-populated with people. All the fellow campers we encountered were well-mannered and considerate. People seemed to maintain their sites well and kept things clean. Staff was frequently seen picking up trash or cleaning. The restrooms and bathhouses were fabulously clean. This was perfect for showering after a morning at the beach and minimizing the sand brought into our camper. Our site was level and easy to set up. All sites include cable TV (with a good channel selection) and Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi signal was rather weak at our site during peak times, but we were on the outer edge of the campground, away from the office. The lack of golf carts (other than those for annual leases) was great for families like ours with small children who wish to ride their bikes. There are both indoor and outdoor pools (plus kiddie pool) and a lazy river which our whole family enjoyed. All were very clean and well-maintained. The laundry facility had plenty of washers and driers, though still took only coins. The store onsite seemed to stock a good variety of camping essentials and grocery items. Overall, we found this a wonderful, family-focused campground and certainly plan to return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Not impressed with this campground. Pros: pool was nice with lots of activities, lazy river just Ok. Beach was fine. W/E/S were good as well as 50 channel cable. Free Wi-Fi was fast. Bathrooms were outstanding. Staff was very friendly. Sites were nice size for being by the ocean. Nice snack bar. Close to attractions. Cons: Felt this place was overpriced as compared to others in the area. Roads aren't paved leaving things very dusty! Picnic shelter location made our spot nearly impossible to get out of. This campground lacks the landscaping the Big three campgrounds farther south have making it seem more like a parking lot. Our bikes were stolen. (Didn't reflect this in the rating as it wasn't the campground's fault.) Limited to no security made this place feel not as secure as the other campgrounds. Beach wasn't as large as at the other campgrounds. Overall, I was not impressed with this campground and would likely return to another park instead as it was a couple dollars cheaper a night and IMO a nicer campground.

Well, we've stayed at several other RV parks in the area. This one is the best, in our opinion, of the oceanfront campgrounds in Myrtle Beach. Great sites, pull through at the beach area, completely level and wide for a beach site. The bathhouses are nice and air conditioned. Great outdoor pool, lazy river, and indoor pool. Large enough to allow us to get in with a full park, too. Very few golf carts. Easiest to get to from points west, IMO. Storage is only $45 a month. The beach area is the best I've ever been to! We'll be back the next two weekends. We've never done that before. Power did drop when we turned a/c and water heater on, so we turned off the water heater. Very few doggie waste bags and trash cans.

This is a very nice park. Clean restrooms and showers, but the laundry room is a little worn. This is the largest park we have stayed in, and I'm still deciding whether I like the smaller parks for the friendliness, or the coldness of a large corporate-type park. I found check-in slightly confusing as three people talked to me at once when I walked in the door. And then three people just stared. I couldn't figure out which one was supposed to take care of me. Check in was brisk and cold, but efficient. No discounts are honored here, but with strong Wi-Fi, and some cable channels, the rate is fair. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Yes on first blush, the sites appear to be narrow because there are so many sites and your neighbor usually has to park next to your covered picnic table. Â There's no privacy, the sites are sandy and if it's crowded it's noisy. Â But, the sound of the surf and the breeze off the ocean are all worth it! Â The sites are nicely angled so that the view out of the front of the rig is great. Â This is a huge campground and if you are fortunate enough to secure a spot near the ocean you will love it. Â There are also nice sites in the trees and around the lake. Â There's a nice wide beach. Â The location is near good restaurants, golf and shopping. Â Free Wi-Fi, which is almost a given every place else except Myrtle Beach, is available here. Â It is a little slow but came up quickly. Â If trucks are parked too far from their fifth wheels, getting around can be a little difficult for big rigs. Â The restaurant in the campground is decent. The church service was good. Really nice pool and river float. We've stayed here several times and believe it's the best in the area, although we have not tried the campgrounds further south. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great park with lots of things to do. We were assigned a site close to the ocean but changed to s shady spot that wasn't so crowded and tightly packed in. That kind of site is good for some people, but not us. It seems that the park owners close down the campsites in the wooded area too early as many really nice sites near the lake weren't available. When we tried to move to another site, we wanted the less crowded areas but they were closed down (and it is mid-October). We did find a space close on the main road to the beach sites; noisy with traffic during the day but fairly quiet at night. The view of the ocean was blocked by the tightly spaced campers and a sand dune that separated the park from the beach. The general store was not very well stocked as the busiest summer season had passed. The lazy river tube floats were nice and relaxing. The outdoor pool was nice. The indoor pool was typical of an indoor pool with a very strong chlorine smell. The staff was nice and the problem in other reviews about kids and golf cars seemed to have been taken care of. The restrooms were new and very nice. This is a really nice park and it is apparent that the owners aren't afraid to invest in it. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Thought we would stay for a couple days and when we checked in and saw the resort, we decided to stay for a week. Absolutely one of the cleanest parks we've visited. Friendly and helpful desk personnel. Trash pick ups at your site and propane delivery to your site if needed as well. All the shower and bath houses are new and great. Indoor and outdoor pools and a lazy river. Huge laundromat and store on site. Most of the lots are pull throughs on grass and level. Our space was about five hundred feet from the sand and beach. The beach was amazing, clean and beautiful white sands on the Atlantic. We will definitely be back next year for a month. Very relaxing. On site restaurant (breakfast on the water) was good and resort is very secure with front gate guard and security rounds 24/7. The rate is for a week with six days and the seventh is free.

Stayed at this campground for two weeks for our summer vacation with friends. Park is right on the water, cannot beat the location. Get up and walk a few feet to the beach. Our site was a tad small and nothing to write home about as you are stacked in rows side by side. Pool area was very nice with many activities for both family and kids. Even a dog bone hunt for pets! Camp store was nicely stocked and used the laundromat which was OK. The showers and restrooms were in excellent condition and meticulously maintained.

We absolutely loved this campground! We stayed here in one of the ocean/beach sites and were just a few yards away from the beach. Most of the people on the beach were only campers from our campground so it was nice and peaceful. We had lifeguards too. The restrooms were clean and there are 3 places to eat there and all 3 restaurants were delicious and the prices were reasonable. There is lots to do there. You can ride your bike or participate in all of the fun activities that the staff organizes at the pool or activity center. There is security at the front gate so that only campers can access the campground. No golf carts or motorcycles are allowed (golf carts for residents only) so it was nice and quiet. My only negative thing to say is that the wifi never did work. I got a weak signal every time. Also, you must stay there for a minimum of 7 nights, so if you're just wanting to spend the weekend or something you have to pay the whole week since that is there policy. We have been to a few other campgrounds there at Myrtle Beach but this one is by far the best. It also has the best location as you are close to everything. We can hardly wait to go back.

This is our favorite of the Myrtle area campgrounds. The only reason it doesn't score a 10 is the lack of paved roads. This causes dust clouds that can be annoying. Our preference is to camp along the lake front in the beach area. It's still an easy walk to the ocean, but the sites are bigger and grassy. This is also very close to the pool and amenities. Hwy 22 bypass makes accessing this park convenient. Golf is across the street. Major shopping outlets are within 2 miles. Only property owners can use golf carts. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great campsite, very clean and well kept. Has a good camp store and the best bath house I've seen. Pool was nice, and small lazy river was good for relaxing. Seasonal sites were more like homes - very well kept up. We got a site right next to the water with only a sand dune between us and the beach. Mostly pull-through sites, level and include a covered picnic table. Will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have stayed at almost all the Myrtle Beach campgrounds, and this one beats them all hands down. None of the campers are butt to butt and have ample room for beach camping. No golf carts for site campers; didn't think golf carts were a big deal at the others till I stayed here and didn't have to deal with them. All in all this will be our campground to stay at twice a year when we come to the beach. Easy in and out from Hwy 22 to Kings Road. Very friendly staff. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

If you love the beach, 20 mph wind, 100% sand and very narrow sites, this CG is for you. We had business in Myrtle Beach and this was the closest CG to our meeting place. The sites are level, total sand and too narrow. We were only able to deploy our slide on one side. Each site has a table and a shelter which was less than 2 ft from the MH. The wind was non-stop from mid-day until late evening, not enjoyable at all. The park is pet friendly, no pet walk though. WiFi is available but too slow to be of value. We only required a 3 night stay but had to pay for 7 nights which we were told is their policy. This CG may be ideal for the family w/children seeking sun and sand. Unfortunately, we feel the amenities do not support the price paid. Our next stay in MB will be somewhere else. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is the best campground in Myrtle Beach. The bathhouses are the best we have ever seen at any campground and the staff does a great job keeping them clean. The beach is great and we love to float around on the lazy river and swim in the two pools. The store has a little bit of everything from gifts and groceries to accessories for you RV. Some sites have a little more sand than grass and sometimes it gets a little dusty from the sandy roads. We have stayed here quite a number of times and will return! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Awesome Campground! We stay here more than once every year. Very friendly & helpful staff. Level, spacious sites. Bath houses are newly remodeled with tropical feel and very clean. So many fun things to do. Indoor/Outdoor pool. Large Playground. Ice Cream shop. Well stocked general store with gift shop. On-site grill/cafe. Convenient to Wal-Mart, restaurants, shopping and all the entertainment Myrtle Beach has to offer. I could go on and on...make sure you visit this one!! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great beach front campground. Something for everyone. We were right over the dunes from the beach. Easy access to the beach. If you wanted shade they had sites around a large lake that had plenty of shade. The roads are dirt and can get dusty, but that is beach camping. Sites are level and roads are easy to navigate. People are friendly and rest rooms and laundry are very nice. The only negative is the Wi-Fi is a bit spotty. Sometimes you have it and sometimes you don't. Will stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. There is lots to do, including an indoor pool and an outdoor pool as well as a minimized lazy river. We were only 100 yards from the beach. Garbage pickup was daily right at our campsite. Besides the large size of the campground, the only negative was the presence of sand everywhere. it was impossible to keep the RV clean. We would certainly consider coming back if we were in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed at this campground during Spring Break 11'. The campground was crowded and busy. We had a shaded lake site that was tight and small. The restrooms near the beach were fantastic. They were clean. The restrooms throughout the rest of the campground were awful. There was no soap and no means to dry your hands. They were old and worn out. The camp store and Cafe were nice. The staff were friendly and helpful. I would camp here again during the off season and bring my own soap and towels for when I use their restrooms. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Our first time to Myrtle Beach and it was cold and windy. We had a site near the beach and bathhouse. The bathhouse was clean and tiled. Mostly snowbirds around, looked like. Lots of trailers around us. As someone else said, the covered shelters at each site were often screened with plastic, hung with lanterns, etc. Could be a little tacky, but I guess had I been there for a month or more I may have done the same. The beach sites (separated by the dunes from the beach) were extremely windy. Pool was closed and store too (rep. opens April 1 or so). The beach was LOVELY even in the cool weather, lots of shells. Management very nice and helpful. Good trash pickup. The seasonal areas did look a little sad as old trailers have a way of taking on some ticky tacky and mildew under the shade. But generally everything looked clean. We are returning in April for a holiday week- hope we enjoy it as much! The area is very convenient for shopping and eating out. Wal-Mart, Tanger Outlets. They have reasonable storage between visits and will tow your camper to your site. And repair company came to our site to do a little work on our trailer. Very convenient. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great, great park, in the middle of everything. And the beach to die for! We stayed in a nice sandy drive-through site. Most of the sites come with a covered picnic area, which is convenient, but can result in some residents/guests "building" around this structure, using tarps and outdoor decor items. Some parts of the park look like a shanty town as a result. The management should think about limiting these "modifications." One morning we enjoyed a tasty breakfast (the biscuits are scrumptious!) from the campground's cafe, which is open on the weekends. Highly recommend their food. We were surprised that there was some entertainment during our stay as well. One evening, they had a singer, Sarah Getto, perform in the outdoor pavilion. She was terrific. The store and laundry seemed to be well maintained. The pools (outdoor and indoor) were clean. Staff people were friendly and efficient. Great place, great beach, great location, all at a great price. Would definitely stay here again -- and again. We are full-time rvers traveling from CT to FL and beyond, and this is our favorite park so far in our travels. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed at the Apache park just south of here last year and were most disappointed, so this year we decided to try the Myrtle Beach Travel Park. The sites are bigger, the bathroom/shower facilities are cleaner, the staff is even friendlier and the rates are competitive. You can choose between an area that is wide open and closer to the ocean, or sites that are heavily treed on a small lake. A couple of weeks ago they added free WiFi that works great. We'll definitely return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stayed here for 10 nights in Aug. of '10. We stayed in the wooded / shady sites behind the pool area. Most of these sites are average in size. Just about all the sunny sites near the beach are pull-through's. As we arrived on a Thursday the place was packed. I mean we didn't see any open sites, except ours. But come Sunday the place emptied out where 50% were empty. The rate was $64 a night plus tax, which I believe came in over $70 a night. I had thought when paying my bill, they said part of the SC tax was a "bed" tax. We had water/ electric and cable. Even with everyone running their AC the power supply was good. The showerhouses were mostly newer and kept clean. The pool complex is a little dated, compared to the 3 large campgrounds south of Myrtle Beach. I like coming here, but at $70+ a night it is in uncharted grounds as far as over-night fees. We would go here every year or two, but with the high overnight cost, we go every 3-5 years. Over-all Myrtle Beach Travel Park is more laid back compared to the 3 campgrounds just south of MB. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

When we book a huge, beachfront campground we generally know to expect crowds, smaller sites and few trees. This campground exceeded our expectations in all areas. Despite the enormity of the park, the staff we encountered were pleasant and friendly. The ocean sites, while not large, were comfortable. The lake sites were larger and had wonderful tree cover for those who don't mind the slightly longer walk to the beach. The permanent shelters at each site were especially appreciated, as the winds are often too strong for awnings. Baths appeared recently updated and were particularly clean. Our four children (ages 3 to 8) enjoyed the many activities and games. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We were assigned a site in the shaded area off the beach and were initially disappointed. After viewing the oceanfront sites with no shade and close together, we loved where we were camped. They had parking along the beach so it was just a short car ride to the beach with the chairs and cooler. The park was very clean and had plenty for people of all ages to do. We will be back, shaded area for us please. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice park, spacious sites compared to the other beach campgrounds. The store was well stocked and had everything one would need. Must pay for wi-fi. We thought it was free, but found out you must pay for it. They need to build another pool and lazy river. When the park is full, there are entirely too many people for the existing pool and lazy river. The staff was helpful and attentive. Would like to have seen park security patrolling more in the park. Beach was very accessible and clean for the most part. We would recommend this park and may stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a must if you are stopping in Myrtle Beach. This park is huge. The park has a gated entry including security in the front lot where you check-in. The roadways are a bit narrow but no problem for a good driver. The pull through sites are spacious and each with its own covered picnic table. We had a one minute walk to the beach and less than that to the rec area which included an outside pool, an inside pool, lazy river and play area for the kids. A general store, cafe and laundry are located in the same area. This will always be our pit stop when passing through Myrtle Beach. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice campground that is very easy to access. Using certain routes, you can completely avoid the busy traffic of Kings highway. Park is conveniently located near area attractions including Barefoot Landing. Staff was friendly. Park is similar to other beach sites in that it has sites in the woods or near the beach. We had a site in the woods overlooking the on-site lake and the view was beautiful. Navigating through the sites in the woods was a little tight. Restrooms in the woods sites were dated and it was hard to judge cleanliness vs. what probably required repairs. They were just OK. Pool and lazy river were as nice as the area hotels. Fairly quiet campground as the golf cart traffic is limited to the CG residents. Plenty of things for the kids to do. We will definitely visit again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We loved this campground! We have 3 children, ages 2, 4 and 6 and there were plenty of things to do. The sites were large: even had a nice shelter in each one which we really appreciated in August. The pools and the lazy river were sparkly clean as were the bathhouses. The restaurant and snack bars were also a great plus. The grocery store was well stocked and clean. We spent most of our time at the beach and all the tourist attractions: which were all very close by. If you have small children, the children's museum is great! I liked the fact that no motorcycles are allowed in the park. Even though we have 8 of them at home: I don't want to hear them roaring through a campground. We really enjoyed our stay here. The only complaint was the lousy internet access, even outside of our motorhome. It rarely worked at all and when it did: it was sloooow. I wouldn't normally complain, except the service was an extra $10/day, so it should have worked much better. We've stayed in many campgrounds and I would rank this as one of the top 5.

This used to be the best campground in Myrtle Beach. I don't know what happened to them! This is the "bad" part of the beach! The bath houses were filthy and always had teenagers smoking in them! The WI-FI internet never worked, and they do not give refunds! People shoot fireworks from their campsite as they drink and smoke in the middle of the night! Loose dogs walk around the campground at all times. The food sold at the store is overpriced and expired. The lifeguards at the swimming pool and lazy river are meaner than Hugo Chavez! Weird men walk around the campground at night staring at teenage girls. I'm glad that I brought my gun! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We did the beach in the morning, the pool and lazy river in the p.m. Site size was fine (expected to be a bit small) but each site had a structure with a roof to provide some shade if needed. Location in relation to MB attractions was good. We spent 5 nights here and would have stayed longer with reservations. Reserve early. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

WOW! What a wonderful campground. We stayed here for one week and had a site right by the ocean. It was beautiful. We were so impressed with the space at the sites - not crowded at all, plus they were all pull-through sites. The pools were spotless and there were plenty of activities. The store was well-stocked, and the carnival for kids was a fun treat. I can't say enough good things. The only "fault" I can find is that the roads were not asphalt; they were well-packed sand. It wasn't a problem, but I just prefer paved roads. The bathhouses were spotless, and the general appearance of the campground was beautiful. LOVED IT. We will return next year.

Great campground! Lots of activities for the kids either at the pool or the covered shelter next to the beach. Rules are enforced (no rough play in the pool, bikes off the road, and exit the pool at 9pm sharp) but this makes for a safe environment for all. Covered shelter at each site is nice. We really liked: each site is pull-through so you only have side neighbors (not butt-to-butt neighbors as at other parks), the proximity of the beach, the ice cream shop, the activities. We didn't like: paying $10/day for Wi-Fi (it's even free at the state park) and not knowing what site you're "assigned" until you check in (they still use a paper method!).

Great campground and we intend on returning. Very kid friendly and good facilities. Seems well organized and it would have to be as big as it is! Pull through sites were level and pulling in was easy. Pulling out was a little tight b/c of the picnic shelter on every site but that's also in a 38' fifth wheel. Again very minor as it was doable without even having to back up. Slow and steady, no big deal. Great pool complex but it was absolutely teeming with people. Too crowded for my tastes but again not a big deal as I don't go to the beach to sit beside a pool. Beautiful small lake on site that was nice to look at. Easy beach access as well. Strong Verizon Broadband signal, didn't try CG wi-fi. Needed to complain about a neighbor starting a campfire in 40mph winds at his rental unit and ashing us out. Would have liked a quicker resolution to that by the staff. When we return we will not stay near the rental units. The units are clean and tidy but the renters are unaware of proper camping etiquette. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Continues to be our favorite in the Myrtle Beach area. We like rules. No fireworks for our sadly neurotic dog.Pet and kid friendly. No golf carts driven by underage drivers.Enforced quiet time and security for the family. Arcade, lazy river, indoor/outdoor pool, and planned activities for the five year old made our week pass by way too quickly.The bathhouses were cleaned twice a day and kept well stocked.Showers in the old ones did back up with standing water.Had to pirate wifi signal, otherwise would have been $30 for the week.Site mostly level after blocks placed. Office staff more friendly this year. Fast and easy check-in. Great having a well stocked camp store , snack bar and restaurant on site. Supercenter less than a mile away in case you forgot anything.

For being at the ocean/beach during off-peak time this park was very nice. Clean, beautiful beach with access over the dune at many convenient spots. But the dune does block the view of the ocean. Most sites (except those on Main Trail, Lakeside Trail or Ocean View Trail) are in the open and should have no problem with satellite TV. Cable available but fuzzy. Main roads paved. Roads between sites are hard packed sand/dirt. Laundry, store and cafe are clean and neat. Indoor and outside pools clean. Lazy river small probably adequate for tweens and younger. Bathhouses clean, each shower has separate dressing area with bench and hook. Handicapped shower spacious with fold down shower bench and handheld shower and separate dressing area. Our site was two spaces up from beach and we could not connect to park WIFI. Pets allowed on beach all day except between mid-May to mid-September when pets are only allowed in the morning and evening. Sites in the main area are long enough to leave car/tow vehicle connected, level packed sand with grass between and slightly close together so don’t expect too much privacy. Hook ups at rear of site. Enough room to put out your awning except it’s too windy and most use the covered picnic table and enclose it with plastic for windbreak. Trash picked up daily at site. New shelter being built near restaurant. Restaurant open for breakfast and dinner on Friday & Saturday night. Didn’t eat there so can’t comment about food/price. Office staff polite both in person and on phone when we called for reservation. Would not book specific site, said had to take what was available due to still being busy from spring breakers. Security checks all vehicles coming into park so you must have valid hang-tag displayed. Park gates locked from Midnight to 7AM. Security also keeps watch for fireworks which are not allowed in park or on beach. Anybody found with fireworks is evicted. Overall very acceptable and quiet especially considering there are over 1000 sites in the park and the number of adults, children and pets present in the park. We would return again but not during peak season when Myrtle Beach is just one big traffic jam. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park need a renovation, starting at the front office. The office staff is a group of older ladies who are not very interested in customer service. We noted it checking in, and then a week later when we were going to extend one day, the counter person said that it was not possible as my site was rented. She made no attempt and did not offer to move us. She just walked away. There is over 1000 sites here! We opted to move to the state park about 12 miles down the coast. It was very nice and about half the price. The sites are sand and dirt, the roads are sand and dirt. When it rains there is quite a mess to navigate. The pool looked nice, but the rules do not make them user friendly. The on site store is very minimal, but it may have had to do with the time of the year, although there is a significant amount of seasonal and full time residents here. There is a 6 foot tall berm that separates the park from the beach, but there are openings in the berm about every 40 yards. The berm blocks most of the view from the park. This particular stretch of beach has several drain pipes that empty to the ocean. Signs are posted advising persons to stay 200 feet away from the drains due to bacteria. I would not stay here again.

We wanted a shaded site, so we reserved a lakefront site. It was shaded, but presented a new problem. We had to have the site next door and the site across from us move their tow vehicles so we could back our trailer into our site. They are close together. Once in, it was pleasant. The ladies checking us in, and the guards at the gate were friendly. If you are camping in the oceanfront sites, you have a new, well-lighted, air conditioned showerhouse/bathroom. If you are camping in the lakefront sites, you have an old, open showerhouse/bathroom that is loaded with dead bugs each morning. Otherwise, it was clean enough. Don't plan on staying out late. They close the gates at midnight. Overall it was a nice CG. We didn't use the pool and other amenities, so we cannot comment on those. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We have always camped at the "Big 3" campgrounds farther south but we had heard good things about MBTP and decided to try it. We had some trouble getting a reservation 6 months ago, but were finally able to secure an oceanfront site. The campground is large and centrally located to many of Myrtle Beach's attractions. It is very similar in layout to the other large campgrounds in the area. First for the good, the campground is very clean. The site sizes are about average and pull thru sites were easy to access. Security was always present and checked us on every entrance into the park. The playground was new and well maintained. The bath houses were clean and up to date. The store was well stocked and the prices were not that much higher than the nearby Wal-Mart. Now for the less desirable things, my children were bored to death. There is very little to do beyond the beach and the pool area. The arcade was small with many machines broken or unplugged. The guest services area was only open from 10AM until 4PM. If you were at the beach or doing something else, you missed your chance to buy discount tickets for area attractions. There are numerous rules in this campground as well. No golf carts, no bikes after dark, no driving cars in the campground before 7AM. My husband was even corrected on how to sit in a tube to float on the lazy river and the children were corrected about how to jump into the pool. When we checked in we were charged extra because we have 3 children. We have camped in many campgrounds and have never been charged extra for immediate family camping in one camper. The check in staff were not the friendliest people we have encountered either. There was also a charge for parking overnight if you had an extra vehicle. We paid $8 to do two loads of laundry because you only got 5 minutes of drying time per .25. The outdoor pool was closed all day one day for a child's accident and the indoor pool was overwhelmed with campers. We had a significant ant problem despite going through 3 cans of ant spray. This is a nice campground for families that plan to spend time and money outside of the park or for retired folks that appreciate peace and quiet. My family was afraid to talk or laugh loudly for fear of being called down again. We paid $60 a night, plus tax, plus extra for our third child despite having less in campground activities. We have paid less for other area campgrounds and rarely needed to leave the park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We camped during the Motorcycle rally. There were a ton of sites available. We camped around the lake and got to see the gator. The campground was clean and my children really enjoyed riding their bikes in the campground. We spent a lot of time swimming in the indoor pool. The outside pool was still really cold. We were less than thrilled with the rules of the lazy river. They close the lazy river if they don't have someone there to police it. And they make you sit in the tube a certain way. Then the children have to sit on top of you if they aren't tall enough. My 6 year old can swim but had to sit on me to use the river. Not fun or family friendly. The playground is also locked at a certain time. Not sure why! They made us leave so they could lock the gate. We will choose a different campground next year to stay in.

This is by far the largest park we have stayed in, and one of the most expensive. Our rate does not reflect the tax ($6.50/day). It is an older park, but nice. We were in a full hookup site not far from the ocean. It was pleasant to sit outside and hear the waves or go to the beach. The site was grass and sand but pretty level. A picnic table is under a shelter. Many put wind breaks/shades around the shelter which would be useful because it was pretty windy while we were there. The bathhouses are large and very nice. I heard they have built several new ones in the last few years. The laundry is large. $1.75 per load. The campstore is very well stocked. Folks in the office were friendly. Wi Fi is available but expensive. $10 per day, $25 per week. The speed was o.k. but not great. Garbage is picked up daily at your site. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camped here on motorcycle weekend; we don't own a motorcycle. We had no problems. The bikes were parked at the entrance and were not allowed in the campground, could not even tell the rally was going on until we left the grounds. Check in was a breeze. The sites are roomy and clean. Bath houses and pools are immaculate. Surprisingly quiet place with little traffic.The only reason I gave less than perfect they charge for the Wi-Fi.

We were here for 12 days beginning March 11. Was supposed to be for 14 days but left early. Spring break was taking place and it was a zoo. Parents weren't watching their kids. Almost hit one with our car. No helmets, no lights. Dog owners let there dogs go wherever. We even found a bag of waste where our trash was supposed to be place. We have two dogs and would never do something like that. Observably people taking their dogs into the restrooms. The rudeness of the campers shocked us. Never have we camped where there were these kind of campers. Before break it was great. After: forget it. Don't know how the previous poster got such a cheap rate. We just made it before they raised their rates for the summer season. Don't know where security was. We were up in the 300's. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park has a lot going for it. The volunteer staff and rangers were very friendly and hospitable. The beach, which is wide and well maintained, is just a short stroll from the camp ground. The location is right on the edge of town if you need to make a supermarket run or just want to eat out. On the not-so-great side of the ledger: the sites are very close together, and some, such as 186 where we stayed, are at an angle that goes against the one-way traffic flow, which makes backing in challenging. Ironically we reserved site 186 because on the camp ground map it 'seemed' that it had a bit of open space on one side of it. Maybe at some point in time...but currently, there's another camp site tucked there. All in all, though, a lovely campground to which we look forward to returning some day.

This park was one of the nicer ones in Myrtle Beach. Clean sites, new bathhouses, easy access to the beach, and a great pool. We opted to stay up near the lake. This area is shaded by tall pines and oaks. Sites were level and wide by beach resort standards. The section where the seasonal sites were was very nice and the units were well kept. The "villa" style rentals looked very nice. The staff was friendly and attentive to the needs of the guests. It was handy to main highway access, shopping, and tourist attractions.

This park has excellent amenities. The bathrooms are spotless. We loved the lazy river and pool area. The only negative is we wish our site was wider. It is nice they have covered picnic tables, but we can't put our awning out. We have always stayed at Ocean Lakes but would stay here again. Not having all the golf cars zooming around is a plus.

This is the first time we have stayed at this campground and we will certainly go back. It was great! We stayed near to the ocean but there were sites available which were shaded by trees. rather enjoyed being out it the open Each site hs its own structure over the picnic table. Very handy. The bathhouses were very clean and never crowded though the park was full. The cable was very limited. There were only around 12 channels but since I only watch just before bed it wasn't too big a deal. Staff was friendly and helpful. The indoor and outdoor pools were lovely as well as the lazy river. The lake was just beautiful and it was fun to watch the turtles popping their heads above the water and swimming around. We were almost a week into our vacation when hubby remarked that we hadn't stepped foot out of the campground. The only thing I didn't like was that they closed the entrance gate at midnight. I think I should be able to come and go as I please. It really didn't settle well with me when one evening at 12:30 AM our new neighbors arrived in their fifth wheel. Between the diesel truck idling and the banging was tempted to bring it up to the main office. Ah well. It was really a relaxing time and a great place to stay. Will do it again next year for sure.

The campground itself is very nicely located right off the Highway 22 bypass. This makes getting to the camp easy and you miss all the downtown traffic. There is a Super Walmart very near by. Our campsite was right next to the Ocean. There is a lot of foot traffic of people walking by to the Ocean and walking their dogs on the beach. The bathouses were some of the best we have ever been to. Each campsite has a picnic table shelter. The seasonal campers use the shelters in very different ways, like mini recreation rooms. The management was very professional. The campground restaurant, lazy river, and camp store was closed this time of the season. The WiFi is not free. Some of the roads are not paved, but I believe it would be hard to with all the sand. Be prepared for lots of sand. Bring your mats, rugs and vacuum cleaners. You are on a beach. We would definitely go back to Myrtle Beach Travel Park Campground. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

We did not actually stay here but toured the campground to see if we would want to stay at another time. Very friendly welcoming staff. Very nice pool area. New shower houses being constructed. The only drawbacks I saw to this campground were the sites would be hard to get in because of the fences between sites. The roads are mostly unpaved but in good condition but at beach access points the ocean was actually in the road in the campground at high tide. I would not discourage anyone from staying here.

Only problem was campers across the street had a Rottwiler type dog and I was not comfortable with that. While he was kept on a leash, he barked at anyone walking by or riding by on bikes. We will be back though, this is the only campground for us in Myrtle Beach area. Highly recommend!!!!. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We have stayed here for the last eight years straight. This year, in June, we stayed for a few days at another campground in Myrtle Beach that allowed golf carts. We gained new appreciation for this park. They do not allow golf carts here except to the permanent sites residents, and this makes a world of difference regarding traffic and noise. The campsites are spacious and most of the sites outside of the shaded ares are not back-to-back with other camp sites. This park is very clean. The park definitely promotes a family atmosphere. We hope to continue to return to his park year after year. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great park for all ages. Our first stay here as we usually go to Ocean Lakes. Each site with shelter over picnic table nice. Good breakfasts at lil cg restaurant. Teens stayed happy and going whole time without leaving campground (6 nights). I like this end of Myrtle. It was very hot and no interest in cooking or grilling, lots of restaurants and shopping nearby. We stayed very near beach and pool, great location. I understand MBTP will not reserve a certain site but friends tell me they have never had a problem getting within section they requested. We just told them would like to be as close to pool as possible and were very happy with it. No golf carts which suited us fine. Pretty loud music at pool much of the time which didn't bother me until we changed campgrounds and did notice the difference. Only minus for me was no free internet. My teens still rate Ocean Lakes best. Fireworks at night bother neurotic dog but that's our problem. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is one of the best campgrounds we have stayed in. We camped in an ocean / pool area site. It is small enough not to require a golf cart to get around but includes many amenities of the larger campgrounds, like Ocean Lakes. Even though it is very close to great restaurants and shopping - Tanger Outlets and Walmart are within a mile of the front gate - it is very quiet. We were there during a "bike week" and did not notice any motorcycle noise. The pools are large and pretty uncrowded. The snack bar is actually reasonably priced for most items. The store and laundry were very nice and they are in the process of renovating the bath houses. The new ones are amazingly nice and clean. The only drawback I saw was that the streets between campsites and the sites themselves aren't paved or don't have concrete pads, which isn't a big deal to me. We will definitely be back.

We stayed at MBTP for six months, ending April 2006. We enjoyed staying there and made many friends among the seasonals. The park has spent a lot on replacing the old bathhouses with beautiful new ones. But there is not a suitable activity building for the snow birds - the space they have is old and too small. This is unfortunate, since many activities are available. The reservation "system" is completely manual making it impossible to reserve a specific space for the next season.

We stayed in the beachfront section of this campground. I think I would have preferred to be in the more woodsy sites since they weren't as packed together but the beachfront was a nice experience. It was pretty windy most of the time and I am assuming that's why there are no fire rings there. We didn't even bother putting our awning out. The beach was very nice and since it was before the summer season, dogs were permitted on the beach. My dogs loved this since they have never been near the ocean. It was so much fun watching them frolic on the sand and run from the waves. There were always people with dogs on the beach and I never saw any messes, so it looks like everyone picked up after their dogs. Getting back to the campground...it's very secure, with a manned gate. There are golf carts around but we never saw them to be a problem. The pool was open but not heated, so it was too cold to swim, but the Lazy River was fantastic! I spent quite a bit of time just lounging in the tube floating around and around. There were lifeguards helping people get on and off the tubes. There is also an indoor pool which was much warmer of course, but I prefer sitting in the sun by the outdoor pool. The arcade was popular with my son who racked up a lot of tickets and spent them on some odds and ends the day we left. Most of the roads were paved and level, which made bike riding a pleasure. The bathhouses are mostly all new and very clean and nice. There is a nice snack bar, and when my husband and I took the kids there, the woman running it was so nice and brought our food out to the table we were sitting at. I did use the laundry room as well, so I cam say it was large and all the machines were working. I don't remember how much the machines cost...somewhere around $1.50 per wash and 25 cents for 8 minutes in the dryer I believe. The store was nice and well stocked and the staff were very friendly. We enjoyed our stay at Myrtle Beach Travel Park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The campground was awesome! We had originally intended to stay at Lakewood, but at the advice of my sister-in law, we chose to stay at the Travel Park instead and are glad we did. All the amenities were great. Staff was extremely friendly and very helpful. Both pools were great. Nice game room for the kids. Park has a store and a laundry which we used. Location of park was great as the entrance was only a mile or so from the off-ramp of highway 22, which we came in on. Also, shopping, Wal-Mart and grocery stores were very close by and easy to get to. We will most definitely stay here again! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Our favorite park in Myrtle Beach. We spend the last week of July every year camping in Mrytle Beach. We have tied many parks and this is the best. Friendly helpful staff. Rules are enforced, ie, no fireworks, no motorcycles, no golfcarts. Kids can walk on the roads without fear of being run over by teens on golfcarts. Swimming pools, campstore, snackbar and gameroom are great. We camp in the shady area by the lake instead of the oceanfront sites, which have no shade. Beach access is easy. Plenty to do without leaving the campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great place on the beach to camp. There is also a free fishing lake. They have seasonal & permanent sites as well as travel trailers & villas for rent. I suggest making reservations for the summer by May of that same year. This campground does not take credit cards when making reservations. You will need to send in a deposit by personal check or money order. After May they told us they were booked for summer. Called almost daily & exactly one month from the day we wanted to camp we got a reservation. Very large & busy place during peak season but I think they hold back sites for drive ins. We found some empty sites while camping in July. You would think in the day of modern technology they would make reservations differently. Staff was friendly & courteous. Building new shower houses. Have really nice pools; indoor & outdoor & lazy river. Good location on the strip and convenient to restaurants, shopping and tourist. 15 minutes from Camping World.

This is an awesome campground. We found the restrooms to be fairly new and spotless. The swimming pool complex is very nice with a large pool, kiddie pool, and lazy river. There were poolside activities daily for children. Live musical entertainment was provided poolside a couple of days during our visit. The campground has a very nice camp store, laundromat, snack bar, and playground. An outdoor pavilion provided evening entertainment and church services. Check-in was a breeze. All the employees are so very nice and helpful. This campground does not rent golf carts to guests, and we found that to be a big plus. We got tired of dodging the golf carts in the other Myrtle Beach campgrounds. We had a shaded lakeside campsite which was very nice.

This place is absolutely fabulous. They have wooded sites, lake sites, and beach sites. With over 1100 sites you have a good choice. You don’t ever have to leave the park. The beach is long and clean. They have a fully stocked store, snack bar, café, laundry, and more. Both the indoor and outdoor pools are large and clean and they even have a Lazy River for tubing. There is always entertainment going on. The place is always clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. They have their own visitors center that will make reservations for in town entertainment for you. It is midway between North and South Myrtle Beach so access to both is easy.

This is an excellent quiet campground. Golf carts are limited to the permanent residents.
Spaces are nice size with a covered picnic table at each site. Bath houses were sparkling clean. The only downside is that the camp store closed in October but Wally World in nearby so that was not a problem. You can't reserve specific sites but all sites seemed to be ok. Gate locked at midnight. Park is very quiet. We will use this park again especially during the summer when other parks that allow golf carts are at or near capacity.

CAmpsites are good size with plenty of room for slideouts and awnings and even a screen house if you wish. Pool is great for youg and old and has a 9' section for diving. Nice heated lazy river. Bath houses are fantastic and kept clean. Garbage is picked up daily. Staff was very friendly. Our three kids enjoyed the campground as much as us.

I have stayed in the Park twice since reviewing it last year and I wanted to update my
comments. The Office Staff has made an about face; they have become customer oriented and very helpfull. On every occasion that I talked to them on the phone or in person, they have made a special effort to answer my questions and resolve any problems to "my satisfaction" They have been very nice! I only had one minor negative comment. The new shower houses are absolutely gorgeous, but the design of the direction of the shower heads is faulty. I can understand why they ran the plumbing on the exterior walls; however, this makes the direction of water spray directly towards the curtain and doors and results in major flooding on the floors. This forces the user to move everything out of the way or things will get seriously wet. Again, I am very pleased that Office Staff has become customer oriented.

This was our third trip to this campground. Overall I find it to be a very nice campground even though I have a few suggestions for the owners. The pool area with the Lazy River is very nice, clean and new. Most all the campsites are in close proximity to the ocean. Most of the other parks in MB allow golf carts and that can be very annoying. The only golf carts allowed here are the ones that the permanent site owners have. As mentioned in an earlier post the main roads are paved but the other streets are sand. I do not prefer this even though it is very hard packed. Every campsite has a shelter and some are spaced as not to allow you to open your awning. Most however do allow you to extend your awning. What LARGE campground in the year 2003 does not use a computer system? It is very difficult to deal with the office staff. When I made my reservations they could not confirm my reservation until they had my check in hand. Ever heard of credit cards? This is a very large campground and I think they are losing money by not having a computer system. It is very obvious that they can have an empty site and not even realize it. I guess it works but I did hear several people voice concerns over the way they handle reservations. Overall a very good campground with a good location. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park is super--close to the water. Interior roads are great for bike riding. Pets are welcome. Service help efficient. Had a leaking exterior faucet-fixed promptly. The problem with the park is the office help. I have stayed at the park three times during the past 12 months. Stays of 2 weeks, 6 weeks and 4 days. On all these occasions I made reservations. Each time the staff acted like they were doing me a favor by letting me stay at they park. On the last occasion, a month ago, I rented one of their trailers, my unit was full with storage items. I requested three times that they make a rental trailer available with a site available adjacent for my travel trailer. This would make it easier for me to access my personal items from my trailer. When I arrived, the staff had placed a trailer for someone else next door to me stating that these people had made a reservation months ago. So had I. Speaking to the neighbors, I came to discover they had just decided in the last few days to come to Myrtle Beach. Fine, however, there were six empty spots on the otherside of their site. Ofcouse, bringing this to the Office Staffs attention resulted in somehow all this being my fault that I had not made a reservation earlier. They were not aware of the fact that I had talked to my neighbors and knew the truth of the matter. It is not unusual treatment--call for a reservation and they make it sound like all their sites are filled. Get there and 500 are empty. It is a shame--rude, rude staff. I have come to accept it and deal with it accordingly. No longer a surprise. We enjoy the access to the beach. Otherwise I would give my money to a different RV Park. I have overheard other conversations in the office with RVers complaining about the same issues. Doubt the staffs attitude will change. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a nice campground. The sites are fairly close together. Every site has a permanent shelter that you can park next to. The main streets are paved but the smaller streets are packed sand so dust can be a concern and it is hard for kids to navigate on bikes. Location is very convenient. Overall good campground if you prefer to stay north of 501. We camped here in a camper.

The campground was great. Lots of activities, clean bathhouses, great store, on-site RV repair. I would rate it a 10 if it wasn't for the other campers. First, golf carts are everywhere! And at night, there is a golf cart parade on the road near the beach, where people drive up and down for hours on end, so much so that you can't even cross the road to get to the beach. Second, our cooler was stolen. Not a big deal, but you don't expect this at a campground. I've never experienced any theft or crime at any campground. Other unpleasant incidents occurred as well. So the take away from this, is if you are looking for a campground with nice people who normally populate campgrounds, this is not the place for you. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The campground itself was awesome. It might be easier to tell you what it did not have rather than what it had. While we were there we played horse shoe, shuffle board, basket ball, football, pool, air hockey, and swam in the indoor pool and the outdoor pool. The campsites were laid out well. They had these freshwater well stations. Yes, you could have unlimited well water while you are there. Many of the sites had concrete pads. The bathhouses were clean and very nice. The camp store stocked a lot of items. They were only overpriced by about 10% or so. They had a small short order grill and they had a putt putt course. There were plenty of beach access points. The one drawback for me is the golf carts. We were there in the off season. In season, there would be too many of them. Lastly, the nature center was neat as was the overlook area. The overlook area had a great view of the ocean. This is a wonderful place in the off season. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.

Friendly staff, picture checking into a large hotel. Rally fee rate $50 per night. Regular rates about $30 to 70, varies from season to locations. We had a pull-through site with 50 amp full hookup. We were in "oceanfront". We were maybe 50 yards to the edge of the beach. The roads were very narrow and some members had a problem pulling into or out of sites, because of the narrow roads and other RVs in front or back of them. Lucky for us we could get out and in OK. There is NO privacy between sites. The sites were level and paved. Not all sites in the park are paved. Trash pickup at site. Picnic table, no fire rings.There are about 900 RV sites and over 2000 permanent sites, many with homes on stilts. This is a very very big resort. Big rig friendly; yes with caution, narrow roads. Laundry; about 100 washers and dryers. Very clean with a laundry service and dry cleaning. Phone/Wi-Fi/TV; Verizon cell and data very good. Wi-Fi in Park good, 70 channel cable TV. Dog friendly, but not easy to find a spot to walk you dog in most areas. Good night lighting. No noise other then the ocean. Book exchange; not sure but I would guess there is one somewhere. A short walk to the beach. This resort has 310 acres, ocean front; super if you want the beach. I would not want to be here in season. It must be like a small city in season. They have every thing you could want to do while here. For us its too crowded and not our type resort. We would probably not stay here again unless with a rally or other special event. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We loved this place talk about close to the ocean for $46. We hit it at the right time I see where this place could be a zoo. The beach is great you can walk for miles.

The smallest campsite that I have ever been to, including State Park sites. The roads were very narrow, so narrow that 2 golf carts could not pass each other and both stay on pavement. It felt like they took tent sites and converted them to RV sites. There was so little room that parking the tow vehicle for my 28ft fifth wheel was very difficult. As a result of the difficult parking situation, I saw where some poor family from NJ had their brand new truck clipped by a camper trying to negotiate a tight turn. We will not be back.

Truly a resort. Everything is offered here and they seem to work hard to keep things up. That being said they do pack you in here. Be sure to check the length of your site- we couldn't have gotten in to ours without nice neighbors moving their vehicles. The golf carts seem to have toned down since our last visit, thank goodness. They also recycle which is great. Not our favorite type of campground, but the nicest one on the beach. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We have stayed here many times and always enjoy our stay. This time the staff went out their way to help us. I just mentioned in the office our battery was dead on our car, within minutes they had security there to jump the car. We tried to tip the guy, but he said no thanks his pleasure. I know Ocean Lakes can be busy and crowded but the amenities more than make up for that. All pull-through, 50 amp, cable, Wi-Fi, telephone hookup if you need it and most sites have concrete pads. We will be coming back for years to come. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A gated community has both homes and campground. Facilities very clean which is a major task considering how busy this place is. Has everything you need, you don't have to go out of the park if you choose not to. Indoor/outdoor pools, slash park, beach, arcade, mini golf, to name a few. This is a place for Fun Fun Fun, it's high traffic, fast pace, a little city of it's own. there are more golf carts than cars moving about. The nightly golf cart parade is lots of fun and very entertaining. WARNING this is not the place to go if you want a quiet relaxing campground, or prefer your privacy. Sites are tight, but level and clean. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have a 40 ft 5th wheel with 4 slides and I told them that, when I made our reservation, but their spots and roads do not take into account your pulling vehicle length also. Plus, your neighbors are allowed to have inflatable pools, pet enclosures, etc., to the point that is very difficult to get your rig correctly positioned onto your spot. We will not be going back. As a matter of fact, we checked out early and left due to everyone on the golf cart 'parades' and not abiding by rules of quiet time and such. Security was too relaxed for us here.

This is a really busy campground during the peak season. Lots and lots of things to do. The good things are too long to list, but I really liked the on-site service and campground-based RV maintenance service. For a reasonable price they quickly evaluated and replaced our roof AC on site. This place is like a little city with almost everything available - store, post office, RV sales and supply store, laundromat, fast food, pools, cable TV at every site, arcade... all this is on a large scale. I always evaluate the restroom toilet paper, and it is the best in any park that I've ever visited. I visited the restroom once in the afternoon and it was really disgusting, all other times it was really clean and pleasant. The not so good: Golf cars are EVERYWHERE and at times super congested. Most drivers are courteous, but some of the folks, mostly younger drivers, drive too fast through the narrow streets, and don't know or obey the rules of the road. There are way too many golf carts in this campground and I would consider it rather dangerous, particularly for bicyclists and pedestrians. I don't think the 10mph rule that is "strictly enforced" can be enforced due to the sheer number of carts in this campground. I'd like to see the carts mechanically governed so they can't exceed 10 mph. We had no problems with noise at night. Overall, it is a nice family campground, but I think I would rather be in a quieter, less busy campground. Personally, I wouldn't stay here again because it is just my wife and myself, although I would recommend it for families that don't mind this kind of "big city" atmosphere. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park has everything under the sun. However they is a major safety feature, that cannot be overlooked. The park allows very young children to ride scooters on the main streets along side other and bigger vehicles. I feel that one of our younger generation will be injured or even killed out riding these small electric powered vehicles, in the streets with the thousands of golf carts, not to mention the shifting of RV's and cars to and from sites. Ocean lakes allow some individuals to stay and homestead in the park, and their RVs or campers are becoming eyesores. This is a nice place, but more needs to be done in the area of safety, speeding golf carts, and run down campers. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed in the HH section, which was ok. Lots of area to walk around, however when the sun goes down, the traffic (golf carts have the right of way to pedestrians) is non stop. Don't listen to the front desk about not unhooking your tow vehicle, you need to unhook in order to make the tight turns into your site. the rows are very very narrow and they decided to pave rows at random the week we were there. Too noisy and busy for us. If your want the beach and constant non stop commotion, this is the place for you. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Came down here for spring break. Definite destination campground. We loved it. Easy to get too and right on the ocean. Staff was friendly and check-in was easy. The campground was crowded. Our site was on a concrete pad and level. Sites were small but I did not feel cramped in it. No fire rings at our site. Campground is enormous so golf carts are helpful and almost necessary. Many permanent residents here. Plenty of activities for the kids to do. Showers and bathrooms needed a little attention but they were high usage facilities so I did not expect them to be immaculate. W-Fi was OK, but due to the number of users I expected it to be slow as well. We will come back again. Really enjoyed being right on the ocean. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Our favorite long term destination by far. We spend about 4-6 weeks twice a year here. Can't say enough about it. Yes it can present problems with so many different people here. However they handle all complaints very professionally. We have seen people removed from the park where needed. Some of our best friends have been made here over the last ten years. Will travel cross country with another M/H couple we've become terrific friends with. We own a golf cart and store it in the area. The shopping and attractions are second to none. We love the cement pads and all hook-ups and amenities are top shelf. Reservations need to be made 18 months in advance. We do avoid summer. Too many kids, golf carts and noise.

This was our first time here and we didn't really know what to expect. It was really busy, lots of people and golf carts. The roads were in my opinion narrow. There are so many campsites. The beach was packed also, right on top of each other. We loved the concrete pads at the camp sites, it really kept sand out of the camper. It was a little cold when we were there, so the pools were freezing, but they looked fantastic! We were really glad they had an indoor pool for the kids. I love that it has a place to do laundry and a store. Most of the workers were nice. The play grounds were nice as well. You can check out basketballs or footballs and things like that for the day; that was a plus! It would be great if they would put out fire rings at the sites, or have them available to check out like the balls. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We spent 4 nights here and had a great time. The campground is enormous and has every amenity a person could think of. However, they do not have a dog park which was surprising to me since they are so pet friendly. You can't beat being less than 100' from the ocean, that was incredible. I would love to give this park a 10 but I had two issues. The lanes between each row are extremely narrow making it almost impossible to fit through, and this was a common complaint among most of the guests we spoke with. We actually moved our site because we could not pull out of the original one we had. The other issue we had was with the fireworks. Kids were setting them off until 11pm and later each night and our dogs were freaking out the entire time. This is not the fault of the park, but something I thought should be mentioned if you have dogs that are scared of fireworks or small children that need to be in bed before 11pm. We would still stay here again because the park is incredible, but we will probably come out of season so it is a bit quieter. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have been coming to Ocean Lakes for more than 10 years. It is not a place of peace and quiet, although it can be if you come at the right time. It is, however a lovely place that is close to plenty to do with your time. The restrooms appear to have been updated during the off season and were spotless. Water was fine for all uses with a filter. The beach is beautiful and well kept. Sites are very level. The camp store is well kept and the laundry is clean and reasonably priced. There were some machines in need of repair but they were clearly marked as Out of Order. The golf carts are here in abundance and can be annoying, especially with kids under age driving poorly. The fireworks are also a bit much at times. But we love coming here and will continue to do so. The facilities are awesome and so are the memories. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is really something! It is absolutely beautiful and well laid out with plenty of activities for everyone. The sites are reasonably spacious with concrete pads and easy access. However, it is a very active and loud park, with music booming from golf carts and teenagers yelling and screaming into the night and fireworks exploding past midnight. Few vehicles obey the speed limits either and pedestrians have to be very careful. If your family includes teenagers this is the place to be, but if you're looking for a quiet retreat this is definitely not for you. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very large & well manicured campground. Plenty of security. This is a destination campground. You can stay here almost indefinitely without ever having to leave if you so choose. Convenient to all of the tourist trap Myrtle Beach stuff as well as restaurants and retail shopping including Wal-Mart. Most folks will give this CG a "10" rating and rightfully so. My "9" rating is simply from personal preference of preferring state and Corps CG's vs. the large commercial type CG's. Without a doubt; of all the large commercial CG's we've staying at over the years, this one is something to see and experience. We didn't like the closeness of the sites and the constant stream of rigs, pedestrians, & golf carts constantly traveling past our site. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed at Ocean Lakes Feb 18-24th. We absolutely loved it. It is off season so it was not real busy, but we always managed to find something to do. The park is amazing, we loved just driving around on the golf cart, looking at all the houses and RV's. The staff is very friendly and helpful. When we first got there we had a problem with our cable, they were at our site to fix it before we even got back from the main office. The newly remodeled bathhouses are the best we have seen at a campground. They are very modern and clean. The store is very convenient and has pretty much anything you could need during your stay. There is also a Walmart just a few miles away. After driving around we were able to pinpoint what we thought were the best sites. Lot I46 has a full concrete lot, which is great for keeping sand and dirt out of your camper. Lots 2015 and 2030 have a great Beachfront view of the ocean. The sand bar is low here so you are able to get a clean view, and lot 2001 has a great view of a little pond, which is where we would choose next time. It does get windy up front near the beach which makes it hard to keep your awning out and also for a campfire, so take that into consideration. Overall we love Ocean Lakes and we will be sure to visit it again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great campground, especially this time of year. Our rate was for a Rally group, but the sites were great concrete pads, pretty spacious. Excellent security and site services. The only downside was not being able to take our scooter to the site. Motorcycles and Scooters have to be parked in an overflow lot up front. I'm sure that makes a lot of sense in the summer but seemed a bit restrictive for this time of year. We loved it and would go back off season. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This place is so big that it's overwhelming. We were there ten days, and I was still getting lost now and again driving from our site (#2014, near the ocean) to the gate. Mostly concrete pads, but they are not necessarily level from end to end. I'm sure this is necessary to provide drainage. The sites are long enough to accommodate the largest, most over-the-top bus type motorhomes out there, but not especially wide. The concrete pads are perhaps 16 feet wide, and a four-foot strip of grass containing the power and sewer hookup separates you from the next site. We didn't find it attractive to sit at "our" picnic table, since it was almost under the slide room of the rig next door. The people are pleasant enough, but this place is too much "resort" for our tastes. Next trip to MB, we will stay at Myrtle Beach State Park. We haven't been to MB for a few years, and it was nice to see that the city has apparently cracked-down on fireworks on the beach. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Ocean Lakes was a very nice campground, and the sites were wide and long with cement pads. There was also a good snack shop restaurant inside the park with good food and was well priced. We rented a golf cart in order to get around the park as there are a total of 3437 sites although only just under 900 are for transient RV's. Security was good as they were constantly driving around at night. They also made sure each vehicle had a pass before they could get in the park. One negative is that the water in the park is from a well and full of minerals which makes it very slippery. I made the mistake of washing the bugs off the front of my coach which left hard water spots all over the front. I had to get out some wax to get rid of them. A word of caution, "DO NOT WASH YOUR RIG". This is one thing that the check-in people could tell you when you arrive. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Ocean Lakes is the "Disney" of campgrounds. Everything any family (of any size) could want! Reserving a spot was easy and website provides details about each campsite, including distance to the beach. Express Check In enabled us to drive right to our spot and get set up. Concrete pads or grass spots available. The grounds are well maintained, people are friendly and the scenery is spectacular. Ocean Lakes is south of all the tourist-traps in Myrtle Beach proper, but there are enough activities (shopping, restaurants, bars, water park, goofy golf) close by. It is also convenient to Murrells Inlet and Pawley's Island. The park layout map on OL's website is a little deceiving. There is a large condo complex next door (to the north) with a tiki bar right next to the last row of concrete pads in Lot A. We enjoyed our time here and being so close to the beach.

We are returning to FL after a round robin to California and this CG is one of the best that we have stayed in on this trip. The staff was very friendly and helpful and offered valuable information about the area. We stayed in the HH section and our roads were paved with concrete pads. The hookups were in the right place and the Wi-Fi was good. In the HH section, we were a hop, skip and jump from the ocean and the pool area. The property is gated and security rides around as does the local police. The roads are somewhat narrow and it can be a bit tricky pulling in and out of your site if a big rig is in the site in front or behind your site. They recycle 100%. The only negative thing I have to say is beware of the golf carts. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The concrete pads make Ocean Lakes the best campground in the area for us. Staff works hard to keep everything nice. However, the golf carts are out of control. They do not obey the speed limit and they drive round and round constantly. I am sure this golf cart culture contributed to the incident in August of this year. Most folks are here to relax and are considerate and polite as you must be in tight quarters, but it is difficult to relax with the constant golf car parade. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We've stayed at Ocean Lakes and Lakewood, the neighboring campground. This one has most concrete pads that are very nice. The campsites vary in width, so from some of the narrower sites it's really tight getting a big rig in and out. They should also consider big rigs when giving directions to your site. They had me trying a very tight turn with a very large tree in a rain storm. There was a much easier way to the site. The bath houses are air conditioned, clean and had plenty of hot water. They have a nice pool. When it comes to kid activities I rank Lakewood a bit higher with more activities, pool slide and their blow up big slide. Ocean Lakes wins for concrete pads and air conditioned bath houses. Ocean Lakes also allows you to bring in your personal golf cart where some others do not. My only disappointment with all beach front campgrounds in Myrtle Beach is their high season prices. A hotel room with ocean view on the main beach road was cheaper. The campgrounds stay full during peak season, we all must still have a willingness to stay. I'd stay here again during off season. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is the first time we stayed here and LOVED it. I was initially concerned about the golf carts after reading some of the earlier complaints, however found them to be a non-issue. Yes they are running around, but they are electric and make very little if any noise. The ones with loud radios seem to belong to permanent residents, and I feel that if they are paying $$$ to live there permanently, we transient folk should work to be as little a problem to them as possible. The fireworks went on nightly, but once inside the MH we never hardly noticed them, and although the traffic and noise did not completely abate at 11 pm, 98% of it did. We walked the perimeter roads every morning for exercise and noted the staff constantly cleaning things. Bathrooms could use a little updating, they are starting to look a little long in the tooth, but they are very clean. The DW ran on the beach a couple of days and made a point of doing a lap in both Pirateland and Lakewood, and remarked that we were staying in the better CG for us. The concrete pads helped keep the sand down to a mere nuisance in the MH and not a constant problem. Definitely our CG of choice when we go to MB. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The last time we camped here was our first trip to Myrtle Beach - in 2003. I vowed we would never go back and for the next 8 seasons we went to either Pirateland or Lakewood and enjoyed them both. I figured it was time to give Ocean Lakes another shot. Overall, it was about what I expected, though I give it a higher rating this time around due to the nice wide concrete pull throughs they now have in the 3000 section. Also, there are a ton of activities for all ages, every day of the week. Other than that, it doesn' have anything over its two neighboring parks and suffers from a few faults. First, golf carts are out of control and there is no sign that the management even cares. They are probably no worse than other nearby parks, but due to the immense size of Ocean Lakes, the number of "golf cart bandits" is much higher. Also, the beach was so narrow that it is incredibly crowded - if you don't have your umbrella in the sand by 8 AM, you may not find a spot. It doesn't help that everyone seems to have gazebo-sized sun shades either. The beach is narrow at Pirateland (where we camped last month), but because the park is so much smaller than Ocean Lakes, there is plenty of elbow room. All in all, if you don't mind the golf carts and a very crowded beach, you will be OK here. However, choose your spots wisely. Perimeter roads, the beachfront, and anywhere near the pool are very chaotic at all hours. If you want some quiet on relatively wide concrete pull throughs, look to the interior rows in the 3000 section. Note: we were with family on this trip and we had read about the incidents of theft. Though we did lock up some things, we had no incidents at either campsite and did not hear of anything being stolen anywhere around us. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stay here each July, and sometimes in the fall/winter. We actually have been there twice in July 2011, once in our travel trailer, and while there, traded for a 5th wheel, and came back to stay on July 29. We had a nice, large site both times. All sites are pull-through...most other campgrounds in Myrtle Beach have much smaller back-in sites. Many sites near the beach are paved, but we prefer to stay in the 4000 section since it is quieter. It can get noisy at night, due to teens on golf carts (which you can bring for an extra charge...they also rent them). But overall, this is my favorite campground. I've been staying here for 20 years, first with my parents, now with my husband. As far as I'm concerned, there's no where else to stay while in Myrtle! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I can't disagree with previous reviews regarding amenities. This place is self contained with a well stocked store, the "Meet and Greet" to grab a quick bite, laundromat, pool, etc. However, if you don't like the constant running of golf carts, which you almost need because the place is so large, this place is not for you. They have a nightly parade of them which causes a traffic jam along the beach front. Now for the things they don't tell you ...there are some security issues here. Never in our 7 years of camping have we ever had anything stolen and we have left TVs out etc, but apparently the underage kids like to steal your coolers of alcohol right from nearly your front door. Bold on their part! Security and park personnel were aware when we reported and told us they arrested to juveniles but for the most part said it's been happening for years and laughed it off. So word to the wise lock up your belongings not just coolers. Secondly our 15 year old and his friend, both outstanding kids, were "interrogated" for lack of a better word and threatened that they and about 10 other kids would be taken to juvenile detention because they were hanging out on the deck near the beach a little after a 11:00. No where in the rules does it state that they need to be back at site by a specific time. Apparently someone snitched that someone was smoking pot up there and that is what he was looking for but to threaten them all for just being there when they were not doing anything..they were quite shaken up. Where was he when the coolers were being stolen...oh I guess making false accusations. Not so sure we will return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Extremely Disappointed!!! I never review anything but decided I really needed to. Maybe this will get the owners attention! We first visited Ocean Lakes 5 years ago, and it was wonderful. We could ride our bikes around the whole place; even our little ones were able to ride. The beach and whole area was a clean, wonderful, family place, but that's not the case now. If you plan on going there, first and foremost LOCK YOUR THINGS UP! The second day we were here my son's bicycle was stolen, and when we went to security there were several people complaining about different things. The golf carts are a JOKE! You will get run over, maybe even in your own campsite. We had some teenagers cut through our yard and about ran over our 3 year old. They were doing vulgar acts on their golf carts when they were "cruising" in the evenings. The music they are playing has curse words all in it, not very family oriented in my opinion. If you want to go to sleep or have small children that need to, don't plan on doing that before midnight. If it's not the golf carts keeping you up, it will be the music at the pool. If you ride bikes do it around 7am because if you get in the golf cart mess, you will get hit by one. A golf cart turned over while we were here and I'm sure it's because they were not going the required 10MPH speed limit! The skate park is littered with trash. There is no way I would allow my children to go in there; the teenagers that were in there were bullying the little kids, and I heard the "F" bomb quite a few times. Also there were terrible things written on the outside of the "skate park." Kids there were smoking, and only God knows what else! There needs to be an employee monitoring something like that at all times! The beach was littered with trash as well as the resort itself, and the bath houses had human waste in the stalls. This was a horrible camping experience. I thought it would be a great vacation, but it turned out to be the biggest waste of money! One thing is for sure, Ocean Lakes owners and management need to really take a look at their own handbook, and make that a reality again!! You will not get my hard earned money again!

We have stayed at Ocean Lakes several times over the past few years. It is one our favorite! The amenities are great, especially for kids. There are always activities going on to keep you busy. There is a restaurant, store, laundry mat, and entertainment galore; no need to leave the park. They hold a church service every Sunday. We attended and enjoyed it very much. The beach area was much more crowded this time than on previous visits. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Simply put, this campground is awesome! Our first time to Myrtle Beach and couldn't be happier with our choice of places to stay. The sites are large and level. We chose one with a concrete pad and were glad we did to help keep the sand out of the camper. The entire grounds are very clean and all of the amenities are great. On grounds there is a very clean pool with splash zone and kiddie pools, putt putt, a huge laundry mat, restaurant with very good hand dipped ice cream, golf cart rentals, trash pick up daily at your site curbside, playground and fishing ponds. We were amazed how quiet the grounds were at night and with bike week going on, despite the large number of sites. Absolutely impeccable, we will certainly return and will tell everyone we know to check it out and bring their families here! The online reservations are very easy and you can pick your site and it gives you how many feet you are to the ocean. They will mail you an "early bird" packet if paid in full before your arrival and you can by pass the check in gate straight to security with your parking pass and right to your site.

We spent Spring Break here with the our kids for a week. This was a great campground with concrete pads and a small yard area at each site. We were located about 48 feet from the Ocean and loved it. It had everything you would need on site, we actually only left the campground once or twice the entire time and that was just to go to a couple of the local restaurants.

Ocean Lakes has to be one of the best RV parks in the country. It pretty much has everything. It's huge. They have flat, level, concrete pads to park your RV on. They have a big pool, snack bars, a big laundry mat, 24 hour security, an arcade, etc. It's a good trip to the beach. The down side is also the upside, it's a huge RV park. Sometimes you might want small. Although the staff is friendly we found that folks that stay here seem to often be a bit more distant than you might find at smaller RV parks. Just an observation, not scientific. Over the years we have stayed at Ocean Lakes many times and will surely go back. The best times to go, in my opinion, is spring and fall. On big weekends like, Memorial Day and Labor Day this park can get irritatingly crowded and a bit loud just from the sheer numbers of people. But, in spring and fall it's pretty close to perfect. The weather can be really nice and the crowds are gone. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice campground overall, good for families with young children, restrooms excellent - very clean and heated. Heated pool could be warmer - also a restroom and shower area in building would be helpful. Camping sites could be a little cleaner. Majority of campers clean up after their dogs while some homeowners take their dogs to camp sites and feel they are not required to clean up after them. Overall would stay here again. Recommend it to others. Staff (security, front office, maintenance and garbage crew) very friendly, helpful and professional. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Paved roads and most sites have concrete. Sites are on the short side forcing you to park the tow vehicle on the grass next to the trailer cutting down on the amount of usable site space. Our site was littered with cigarette butts. The sewer hook up cover and pipe was broken. Even with a donut, sewer smell was present if the wind wasn't blowing. Lots of golf carts being driven by young children without adult supervision. It would be nice if the campground enforced their own rules regarding age of drivers and speed limit in the park when it comes to golf carts. Overall, it appears that the cleanliness and maintenance is lacking. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park has asphalt roads and cement sites with grass patios. The facilities are great with swimming pools, recreation buildings, huge laundromat, and more than average security. However, the internet reception, which costs over $9.00/day for six days, was very weak or non existent for us. There were cigarette butts and charcoal and wood pieces, as well as many small bones and small pieces of trash on our patio and others around us. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is our favorite campground, as long as we don't visit during the summer months. As others have stated most of the sites are concrete and all have picnic tables. My only complaint is the Wi-Fi that is available for extra dollars at your campsite. This service is disgraceful and you would be just as well off to take your money and throw it into the air and let the wind blow it away. In my opinion a campground of this size should offer free Wi-Fi to the entire park. However if they insist that you have to pay, then it should be something that provides a decent service for your money. Now they do offer free Wi-Fi at the Sandy Mart, but that is a hassle to have to carry your computer there every time you want to check something on the computer. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We have stayed here several times, and decided it was about time to write a review. Hands down, this is the best RV park in Myrtle Beach. The concrete pads are great. No tracking in sand and dirt. We have no kids so we always wait until September to vacation, fewer crowds and cheaper price. The park was crowded, and the golf carts are still plentiful, but not wild and crazy. The filtered water is a nice plus We had no problem with the cable. We don't take a laptop so do not know about the wi-fi but it is available at the meet & greet. The store has everything you need and our dogs are allowed on the beach any time after 9/15. We booked in June for Sept. to get a site up front in the 2000 section. We were 3 sites back, last time we were 2 sites back. Naturally if you must go in the summer with all the family vacationers it will be a little more crazy. But you can't beat the ocean view and all the services this park offers. Definitely will stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

My family loved the CG. Staff was very friendly and express check in was great. We did rent a golf cart for our stay and the kids enjoyed the nightly golf cart parade. The only complaint is that there are golf carts everywhere, but you really need one to get around. Security was always around to keep an eye on the golf carts. There was an incident where a golf cart did hit a person crossing the street and that person did have to receive medical attention. I did not witness the incident just happened to come upon it after it happened. I always walked with our kids because of the golf carts. Our site was near the beach so we just walked over to the beach and walked back to our site to eat. No golf cart needed for this. We were also near the pool/clubhouse and walked there also. They have a decent place to eat pizza, hamburgers, etc and a large store and laundry facility. The park was very clean and we would come back again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is our second time at this campground. For a very busy campground, the restrooms/showers are very clean. They seemed to always be in there cleaning. We were very close to the beach. Very clean campground. Make sure you have containers to get their purified water (free). Even with two filter systems on our camper I would not use the water. We were there the last full week in August. When we arrived it was packed. Very busy with golf carts. Many being driven by young drivers. We ride bikes. You have to be very careful. Once the first weekend was over, the campground cleared, golf carts problems corrected themselves. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We just stayed here in our 30 ft 5th wheel. I have stayed at this campground a number of times in the past (4 or 5,) and have always loved it, but this time I enjoyed it far less. There were 2 reasons for decrease in enjoyment. First, the place was incredibly crowded. We saw sites that had 10 to 15 people in one site! In addition, they were packed with multiple cars and golf carts, and bikes, and tents, and etc, etc. I felt more like I was in some refugee camp, than a beautiful campground. Second, while I have never loved the golf carts before, now they are just plain dangerous. The main reason is the YOUNG teenagers driving them. I know it is the responsibility of their parents to not allow this, but it is also Ocean Lakes responsibility to step in and kick these people out if they are so irresponsible.

Ocean Lakes has a wonderful facility in a great location. On paper it should be a great place to camp, unfortunately it has grown to the point where it is over crowded and unpleasant to stay there. Sites have all the things you would expect but when problems occur like poor power quality, service is terrible, hundreds of golf carts appear to be operated by midget stunt drivers, rules go unenforced. There are fireworks continuous from 9pm until midnight. Theft of items from campsites appeared to be common and security invisible. With about 20% less campers and security enforcing their rules this would be an incredible place to stay!!!! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have stayed in the campground several times and will continue to come here for our beach experience. For those reviews that I have read, yes the campground is very crowned but what do you expect for the beach in the summer? If you do not want to be in a crowd then go before or after the beach season. As far as the golf carts, yes there are lots of them but they disappear in the off season also. Security was present everywhere. Not sure where the one person was that said there was a lack of security. I have seen many, mainly kids, pulled over in golf carts crying because they did something wrong and it was taken from them on the spot. The best spot we have had so far is the Ocean front with a concrete pad. Right in the heat of things. It was great watching the golf cart parade at night. Yes, it was loud but so much fun to watch all the different carts and people just having good clean FUN. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great place right on the ocean with Tiki Bar next door. I like the fact we are camped just beyond the dunes. The only drawback of campgrounds like this, is that while its nice to have golf carts available for rent, kids drive them around day and night. While they have security in the area, I've never seen anyone say anything to people driving wildly after dark. For me the rental golf carts could go the way of the dinosaurs.

Awesome park! Were very impressed. Lots are a bit tight but you manage. We were in walking distance to the ocean, could see the water from our motorhome. You have to have your own, or rent a golf cart to get around for sure. The evening hours were a nightmare. I think everyone were on carts at one time, very rude drivers, young and old. When walking the dog you had to be careful you didn't get hit. It was very noisy during 9:00 - 11:00 pm. If you needed to drive your car between these hours, you were not getting around in the park, too many golf carts. There is lots to do in Myrtle Beach, outside the park! Park has very clean facilities, everything you need is on the premises. Would be a great place for families with licensed children that just want to run with the pack on carts. For a quiet vacation, I would not recommend this place. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Most of the other recent reviews here are consistent with our experience. I don't understand the comment about "if you have slides, you can't use your awnings" - these sites are exceptionally wide for a campground of this size. Certainly wide enough for the camper with slides/awnings out, the tow vehicle parked beyond that, and then some. HOWEVER, the LENGTH of the campsites is another matter. We've always stayed in the beachfront "2000" section and didn't notice it too much. However, this time we were in Section I. The roads within Section I are barely wide enough for two golf carts to pass. The sites are just long enough to accommodate a large Class A bumper-to-bumper or a large 5th wheel stem to stern. Accordingly, trying to pull a travel-trailer into a "pull through" site across the "street" from a site that has a bumper or hitch/front cap all the way out to the street is nearly impossible. We watched several frustrated TT'ers spend a lot of time trying to park their TT. Me? Well, yeah, I actually bumped/slightly damaged the fiver across the street. Never, EVER again in Section I unless I have Ocean Lakes pull my TT in for me. Meanwhile, the idiot loud obnoxious screaming music-blaring teenage (and older!) golf cart drivers' mayhem goes on at night. However, since we were in the middle of a section and not on a "major" thoroughfare through the campground, we didn't notice it too much unless we tried to drive back into the campground after 8 PM. If you get a site at Ocean Lakes, make sure your site does not front a "named" street. Thankfully, everything really does quiet down by midnight. No offense, but the "security" folks patrolling at night are anything but intimidating to the idiot loud obnoxious screaming music-blaring teenage (and older!) and DRUNK golf cart drivers - I think Ocean Lakes must have a minimum age of 70 to be a security patroller. Plus, there are just too many golf carts to control - there are literally hundreds of those things. The Internet connection cost $28 for the week. It was nice and fast...when it worked - which it stopped doing 4 days into my one-week contract. For some reason, the Internet service provider (ISP) changed their homepage and put up a message saying to call them for a new user ID and password. Problem - when you call, you get a recording saying they'll call back within 4 hours. They did call back, but I was at the BEACH (go figure) and they wouldn't leave the new user ID/password even when I told them to. Got so frustrated, I called Ocean Lakes - they were apologetic and have promised a full refund this week. We'll see. Ocean Lakes now has their HUGE beach groomed every night - very, very nice. When we were there 4 yrs ago, they didn't do that and the beach remained very dirty. Not now - nice, clean beach every morning. Most folks, including us, use the 8X8 or 10X10 "easy-up" shelter things at the beach. Unsubstantiated rumor has it that they will be "outlawed" in 2011. That's not going to go over too well - those easy-up things are sooooo much better than beach umbrellas. Oh yeah - folks have commented about the 1.5-mile line of campers backing-up on SR 544 on Sat afternoons trying to get in to Ocean Lakes. They aren't kidding. If you're coming in on a Saturday, come in on US 17, NOT SR 544. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park has a lot of great points. The location is good and the facilities were clean. Our site had a concrete pad, which was great. They have an outdoor pool, indoor pool and a splash pool, which my kids loved. They have a snack bar at the beach, a snack bar at the pool area and a restaurant which delivers pizza directly to your site (which was delicious.) We found two major problems with this campground. One was that the facilities (pool area, beach, arcade,) were very crowded. There are over 800 transient sites, plus hundreds of rental houses; one pool area just wasn't enough. The second issue we had was with the number and usage of golf carts. The park is large, so golf carts are the main mode of transportation. We don't own a golf cart and didn't want to spend $50 a day to rent one, so we rode our bikes or walked to our destinations within the campground. There were so many golf carts that traffic came to a stand still on the two major roads between our camper and the pool area. Especially at night, the golf carts were not used simply for transportation from one place to another, but people were cruising around the campground. A lot of the drivers were teenagers that didn't appear to have much driving experience. We witnessed four or five near accidents. While walking and riding our bikes, we were actually concerned that we might be hit by a golf cart. In addition to that, many of the drivers were playing their radios very loudly, sometimes with music that had lyrics that I don't really want my 3 and 10 year olds to hear. The loud music continued until quiet hours began (11 pm) and it didn't help that our site (2041) was on the edge of the campground near a hotel with a night club that also played their music very loudly. Without these two major concerns, this park would have rated much higher for my family. Because of them, we would not choose to stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The amenities were nice, the campground was clean and the beach was beautiful but oh my goodness, I don't believe there could be anymore golf carts. In the evening, all of the teenagers (and some adults) were cruising the campground in their golf carts with the radios blasting. It was quite annoying. Luckily, when quiet time came around (11:00 PM), security would patrol the campground and instruct people to park the carts. Also, our last night there, someone stole our cooler (with all of the beer in it). I have been camping hundreds of times and that was the first time I have ever had anything stolen.

Like others, getting into the park and your site can be a problem, really no different than Pirateland or Lakewood. They are all older parks designed when campers were 16 feet long, sooo, we have to accept that. The golf carts are like the other campgrounds: if you want quiet go to Myrtle beach travel park. The other poster who said that the canopies and tents will be outlawed is right, most likely next year. Seems that EMS and lifeguards are having quite some problem being able to access the beach, so be it. All in all a very enjoyable place. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

They had a blast learning to surf and the instructors were excellent. My wife and I enjoyed the golf cart parade every night. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The laundry room was very big and we never had to wait for a machine. They also have drop off laundry service if you don't feel like doing it yourself.

This was our first time staying at a large mega resort and the place is practically a small town. There are even rental houses there and the camp store is like a small supermarket just to give you an idea. Golf car traffic was heavy at times on the main roads. If you have a site close to the beach it’s easy enough to walk so a rental golf car isn’t necessary. Having made a reservation weeks in advance, we were sent an express check-in pack in the mail. Basically a hang tag for the mirror and instructions to call when we were almost there to confirm our site was ready. It worked great. We just had to pull in and hook up with no stop at the office. Sites are wider than expected, but it seems that if you have a 31’ trailer they give you a site with a 32’ long pad. Trying to pull into such a site located between two narrow access lanes with neighbor’s rigs filling up their entire pads and tow vehicles and golf cars parked in the grass, made getting in and out a tight squeeze. Despite the magnitude of this facility, it had a nice laid back and even private feel to it. Quiet hours were respected, grounds were clean, and security patrols frequently. Unlike other parks along the beach, you are allowed to build a campfire here, although you have to bring your own fire ring. The beach was great. We also used the coin laundry, a large facility, clean and only a few machines were out of order. There must be over one hundred cable TV channels. I can’t comment on the pool, skate park, pizza delivery, or other amenities. If this place doesn’t have it, you probably don’t need it. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

To sum it up in one word: " WOW !" This was our first camping trip that would take us so far from home (950 miles), and it was well worth the trip! I honestly can't think of a single negative thing that I would say about this camp ground and, in fact we've already booked a site for next year at the same time! The sites were spacious and clean and ours was about 4 spaces back from the ocean. We paid extra for a site with a concrete pad and loved having it. It was at least as wide as our unit, with the awning open, and it made for a nice surface to shower the beach sand off of our feet before entering the RV. The Staff here was wonderful and to say that they were very laid back would be an understatement! My brother and sister-in-law came to visit us while we were here and they were allowed to pitch a tent on our site (at no extra cost to any of us) to stay overnight. Also, we were allowed to use the water on our site for washing our car, the RV, fill buckets, or whatever we felt like doing with it. Up 'til now, we thought that all campgrounds treated visitors as just another way to tack on to the cost of the campsite and that using water for anything but hooking up your RV was a universal no-no! The staff here was visible when needed and gave the impression that their sole purpose for being there was to add to the enjoyment of your vacation. I walked along the beach to the other campgrounds, down the beach, and felt that we had made the right choice. Ocean Lakes was far superior to any of 'em! Whether traveling as a couple or with small children, this campground offers something for everyone and I highly recommend it!! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We would have ranked this park a 10, but the check in was far from efficient. The clerk was obviously brand new and was not educated enough to be left alone. She made up answers to my questions, which I surmised as inaccurate: i.e., which road do we go down to get to our site. She drew a route on the map but I questioned it, as it did not seem correct. I made her ask someone else and sure enough she was wrong. Two more other similar instances occurred. Be sure to ask for the senior, over 60 discount. We saved a $1.00 a day! Huge place but we found it very clean and easy to get around. As mentioned in other reviews, golf carts are the mode of transportation, but they did not bother us. We were in site #2074, 30 feet from the ocean. Great view and easy access to the beach. To wash clothes costs $2.00 a load and .25 cents for 8 minutes of drying but the laundry was huge and very clean. We will return if we are ever in the vicinity. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is our favorite campground anywhere. We spend about 3 weeks each year here. Very nicely kept grounds. We get the concrete pad sites and that keeps a lot of the sand out of our camper. We take our own golf cart. They have several fishing ponds we like and we like the snack bar. The store and the RV supply store are handy also. We use express check-in. Pay for your site in advance and they send your car pass in the mail. You don't have to stop to check in. Just drive right to your site. They have good security here also. We will be going back.

We had an excellent stay here. I was pleasantly surprised that for such a huge park the staff were all very friendly and helpful. We paid the extra fee for a concrete pad site 80' from the beach and it was well worth it. We have a dog who loves to walk the beach, (we do too) and the concrete pad helps keep sand out of the rig. Utilities were top notch. They even supply cable TV coax neatly coiled around a cleat on the power pedestal. Water pressure was excellent. Sewer port clean and accessible. Sites spacious and level. Other amenities include a large convenience store, several snack bars and an RV service center. We did not use the pay WiFi. Verizon broadband signal was just fine with booster antenna. We would definitely stay at Ocean Lakes again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground is a great campground for families. It wasn't our first choice, but the other campground wasn't offering Wi-Fi which we needed. Although at Ocean Lakes they have free hotspots, we needed Wi-Fi in our rig so we purchased it through their provider. It was the most terrible service I have ever experienced. We had 2 laptops using it (we paid for 2 connections) and both of us had awful connections, even though we were about 100 feet from the access point on the roof of the bath house. Contacted the company and all they did was send me a phone #. Don't recommend you pay for this service if you come here. As for the campground, even though there was really nothing wrong with it, it was way, way too large for us. There is a 10 MPH limit on the roads, but once it starts to fill up there are dozens and dozens of golf carts zipping around and no on seems to impose this limit on them. Walking the dogs was difficult with these things flying around. At first it was nice because there were very few RV's here, but as our visit winded down more and more piled in and people actually had more stuff piled outside their rigs than inside. The sites were starting to look very junky. Didn't even like opening my shades in the morning because my neighbours had so much junk piled up outside their rig. We would stay again overnight if we were passing through, but we would never stay for an extended period as we did this time (4 weeks). Would look for somewhere quieter, and not so big. AND better Wi-Fi as this is a necessity for us. No fault of the campground, after all it is a family campground, and it was kept very clean and great services, i.e. cable TV, phone, garbage pickup, etc. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is not the typical type of campground we would choose, but we wanted to go to the beach for spring break, and this place offers a heated indoor pool, so we gave it a try. The sites were about average size for an RV park, and they were very clean with many of them offering concrete pads. We were only 150' or so from the access to the ocean, so that was nice. The overall cleanliness of the park was excellent, there was plenty to do, and the golf car rental was very helpful, considering the weather was a little cooler and windier than had been predicted. We rented a car with a plastic enclosure to block the wind, and it made it much more fun to ride around enjoying all the houses and RVs. We would go back during the off season, but there would be too many people for us during the peak season. A very nice park, though. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We stayed here for a few days to avoid bad weather in the Smoky Mountains. The staff was very efficient and helpful, and our site was as advertised, very close to the beach and easy to get our big rig into. The water wasn't the best, but they make up for it by offering free filtered water at a location within the park. While much larger than other places we've camped, it didn't have an off-leash dog area, which is why we didn't rate the park higher. Otherwise everything else was fine, although none of their seasonal facilities (outdoor pool, etc.) were open yet. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We decided to try Ocean Lakes for the Thanksgiving weekend this year. After reading all the excellent reviews I thought this has got to be great. I was a little disappointed. The campground is huge and there are plenty of things to do. My biggest complaint was the trash laying around everywhere. Cups and trash in the bushes, tons of old cigarette butts on campsites and all along the roads, just plain trashy. The kiddy pool looked wonderful although I don't have any little ones anymore. I also expected more campsites. It seems as most of the park is permanent homes, huge ones too. The playground, ice cream shop, volleyball, etc. were located right on the beachfront which seems like it would be really a hot place to play in the summer. I can see that ice cream melting before you paid for it. There were some nice walking areas although there was trash there too. I really don't understand why most people rate this campground so high as it's not a 10 in my opinion. Laundry and bathhouses were clean and nice. I have no reason to return but it was interesting to see. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We cannot say enough great things about this campground! From check in to check out our experience was a great one. The staff were friendly and helpful. They found us a great spot when we decided to extend our stay. We enjoyed the indoor heated pool, HUGE arcade, and daily swept beach. This is a no-fuss, well run campground with tons of free perks like coffee and newspaper every morning! The (off-season)price was amazing especially when the pool, arcade, and daily activities (exercise, crafts, and games) are available year round. Bingo night was a blast! We can't wait to come again.

We choose a cement pad which we really enjoyed and would recommend. We were on the fourth row from the beach and it was very nice. It was level, the hookups were very well located and there was good room between the sites with grass. The interior roads are a bit narrow which is about the only negative we can say. Although we didn't use many of the facilities there was a cafe, gift store and RV stores etc. It was easy in and easy out to route 17. The cable and Wi-Fi worked well. We would certainly stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was our first visit and it was great. The whole park was very clean and there is plenty to do. We rented an ocean front camp site, thinking we could sit at our camper and watch the ocean waves; however, the dunes and sea grass obstructed the view although we could see the ocean from a standing position. This was no big deal. We could still hear the ocean and it was only a 30-foot walk to the beach. I highly recommend this campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We camped here September and October '09 and unlike previous report, I did not see any trash. Not only do they provide trash pickup at your site, they also have people in pickup trucks that also stop and pickup any loose trash or paper that may have escaped. With concrete pads, all pull throughs,and on the beach, this is my favorite campground. I personally avoid this campground during the summer months, only because it is so popular with families. I just prefer to wait until school is back in session. This campground (in my opinion) is so far ahead of any other campground in this area, that there is no comparison.

Second visit to this park. We moved "up" to a concrete site and would never go back. Concrete was so nice to not have to deal with sand, fire ants and kids stayed dry in the tent when it rained. Only reason I gave a 9 is the bathrooms. They clean them at 7:30 and it's prime time for needing to use when you wake up and the bathrooms are needing some updating. A/C made it very cold to shower and floors never looked completely clean with the tired tile. Amenities abound and this is an awesome park for children (pools, skateboard park, shuffle board, play grounds, planned activities). We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We camped here labor day weekend. This campground has everything!!! The kids did not know what to do first, the pools were very clean as was the beach. This campground can be very busy at times. The CG is centrally located within a short drive to every kind of food a person could want. The only problem we would be concerned with is the drunk teenagers on the golf cart parade. It starts at 6 pm and goes to 11:00pm. Loud music and fast golf carts driven crazy!! Security does shut it down at 10:59pm on the dot. We give it a 9. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Just got back from Ocean Lakes after a week's stay. This campground has everything you could want to do. The only problem is the golf carts. People don't want to walk anywhere and they all have golf carts. Was a problem when walking my dog. The cg was full on the weekend but not so much during the week (prefer the week time). The interior roads to the campsites were tight. All sites were pull throughs, some with concrete pads for an additional charge. Ocean front meant going over a sand dune to get to the ocean. Speed limit (10mph) was for the most part enforced but most drove around 15mph and was not a problem. We will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have been to this campground for the past several years. My biggest complaint is that the grass is always high. They don't seem to prepare the sites for the next camper. Their reservation policy has changed and instead of paying $50 to reserve for the next year, you now have to pay half. It's still a great park. The beach is not very big and gets a little crowded but the children love it! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was our 2nd trip here and I found a few improvements this time. Our site was large and level. We had adequate space between us and our neighbors. The only issue with our site was that it was 2 rows over and 2 sites down from a bathhouse and other campers would cut right through our site to get to the bathhouse due to their own laziness/lack of respect for basic campground etiquette. Bathhouses were kept clean. Lots and lots of activities for the family. Store was well stocked and clean. Nice laundry. Each employee we encountered was very nice and helpful. We rented a golf cart for a few days and enjoyed it. However, they charge too much for them. Only complaint I can make is about the wifi. You pay for the wifi and the service was weak at times. A big issue we had during our first trip was our inability to cross the road in front of the beach in the evenings to get the beach due to the steady stream of golf carts. This year, however, security was stationed at different spots on the road each evening and crossing was not an issue. Also, security was more visible this year in the campground. A great experience and I look forward to returning. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We camped at Ocean Lakes for 9 nights. We only had camped in small Maine campgrounds and State Parks prior to this trip. We were not sure we would enjoy such a large campground with so many people and pets around. What we found there was a beautiful, well maintained, very clean park. Security was visible and all staff we encountered were polite and helpful. Our concerns about feeling crowded were unfounded. There was very little people or pet noise pollution, most of the time we thought we were the only ones in the park it was so quiet. We did not rent a golf cart as we prefer to walk while seeing the sights and people watching, although during the summer months a golf cart would be a plus due to the heat. No matter where you are in the park it is a reasonable walk to the beach, pool, store and for an ice cream cone. The park is right on the beach so you could always feel the ocean breeze, and with a short walk you could dip your toes in the surf. Our lot, 3077 had a concrete pad, it was a little tight getting on and off, but not unreasonable or difficult. We will definitely go back again, I would like to make it a spring ritual.

We absolutely loved staying at Ocean Lakes Family Campground. This has to be the largest campground we have ever stayed at. We prepaid our entire stay before arriving, so we had an express check-in and went right into our campsite. Our site was about 3 spaces from the beach, which was great access to the beach, but it wasn't really necessary to be that close. We reserved a close spot because we expected to be at the beach most of the time, but there was so much stuff to do at the campground, we were all over the place. Renting a golf cart here is an absolute must; if you don't own one. Everyone has a golf cart here and if you are not traveling around in the park with it, you are going for a night cruise or people watching around the park. My kids wanted to move here. If we weren't at the beach, we were at the pool, eating ice cream, going to the skate park, playing Bingo, entered into a guitar hero tournament, mini golf tournament and so much more. This campground has something for everyone; very family oriented. We came on a very busy weekend of Memorial Day and the beach was packed. I was able to do laundry while I was laying out at the pool. It was a vacation very well spent. We camped here in a Motorhome.

My evaluation might have been much better, but for the attitude of the initial contact person. We were told they were busy, and were asked to call back. When we called back in 1/2 hour, the female contact person asked what area we wanted to be in. We told her that we were not familiar with the park, and asked which sites were available and were informed that she had two sites, one in the 3000 area and one in the 4000 area. The online site map was not adequate to see the numbers and sites, and next to impossible to read. Realizing that the park must have been very full, we asked if something was going on to generate that much traffic during a slow season, and were assured that this was a normal week with no events planned. No mention was made of oceanfront sites or sites near the pool or "quiet" sites, only that she only had two sites. We opted for one along the road at the North side of the camp. When we arrived, there was no escort, and the site we were given as a pull through was inadequate to house our 40 foot motor home pulling a jeep, and we had to disconnect on arrival. A trip through the park revealed that there were sites available in the area near the ocean, and there were sites available in the area near the pool, as well as some near the fishing lakes. Any of those sites would have been preferable, but I really didn't want to hook up, pull in the slides, build up air pressure and move to another site. That was a mistake! Traffic on that road was constant 24 hours a day, including dog walkers who used gasoline powered golf carts to walk their dogs and security vehicles which came through more frequently at night on this road than on any other road we could see. In addition, we quickly learned that it was "bike week" in Myrtle Beach. While Ocean Lakes did not permit motorcycle traffic within the park, the park next door had provided a parking lot for motorcycles, and it was situated directly across the road from our site. If the contact person we spoke with had not been so overwhelmed with her job, and had told us about bike week and told us of the availability other sites, our visit could have been more pleasant, but it wasn't and as a result, we will not return to Ocean Lakes, and will continue to inform anyone who asks about Ocean Lakes that the staff does not have time for customers, and fails to realize that customers are the only business they have.

We have stayed at Ocean Lakes several times and have enjoyed it. We go in the spring and fall and they always have activities planned. Bathhouses should be cleaned twice a day with so many people using them but they are never nasty by any means. All the sites are pull through and they are adding more comcrete sites. The store is well stocked with almost anything you could need. with the snack bars, the store, and laundry facilities you never have to leave the park. We stay in the section K so we are close enough to everything and have no need to rent a golf cart, but they do rent them if you want it. All in all my family loves this campground. Plenty to keep the kids busy. My only complaint would be that several of my e-mails to them have gone unanswered. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

It is a huge park with rows and rows of RV sites as well a permanent resort near the main road. It is near shopping and restaurants, on the south side of Myrtle Beach. There are lots of activities, nice pools, next to nice beach, pet and kid friendly. Our only complaints were that the pull-thru site, J15, although advertised as not suitable for large rigs, was not even suitable for our small 23' fifth wheel. I could pull in OK after negotiating a very narrow back lane with kids, but a tree made it impossible to exit out of the site, so we had to back out carefully. The other minor complaint was that there was no WIFI at our site, we had to sit near the washrooms to get WIFI. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We reserved an ocean front site last September for this vacation. We rescheduled our vacation so we could have this site. The management never told us that major road construction would be going on right in front of our campsite. We had to ask why the bulldozer, crane, back hoe and dump truck were being parked right in front of us. The management didn't care about the noise or disruption and didn't do much to make any amends. It is a county project the campground had no control over, but they should have notifed all the visitors of the issue. If you have an oceanfront site between now and the end of May, beware! The whole road is being dug up for construction. Don't expect to learn about it from Ocean Lakes. We will never stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

When we arrived, our toad's battery was dead. A friendly camper called the security, and they came with a jump pack right away. We pulled into our site, I backed up, pulled back in to straighten out, and sunk up to my axles. I have a 40' motorhome, and we had an unpaved site. I STRONGLY suggest that big motorhomes get paved sites. Ocean Lakes Security called in a wrecker and they paid to pull me out. The put me on a paved site for the night. They were booked, so I had to move again. The staff was great in helping us out. First class. When booked up, some corners can be tight. There's one spot where they left a tree in the middle of the road. This is a very nice RV park with a mixture of homes inside the park, and it's right on the beach. It's very large, so that's why there are golf carts everywhere. We went in the off season, so we were able to drive our car down to the beach (I have 2 young kids). In season, only golf carts can park there. I didn't use the comfort stations or the pools. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We breezed right by the check in lines and were unhooked and set up in no time. I thought that a golf cart was an unnecessary thing but it is almost a necessity. The only drawback was that the campers seemed unfriendly. Possibly since there are so many campers there. We will be back! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park is enormous, but the beach which made it well worth the size. A bit difficult to turn a motorhome into one of the little streets to get to our site, but other campers were very helpful to give us alternate way around. No escorts to sites. The store was well stocked, but it's only moments out the front gate to get anything you need. Sites are not huge and a little gritty from the sand, but nothing that wasn't expected.

This "campground" is an RV Resort in my mind. There is nothing that you could possibly want that you will not find at this park. Every single thing was perfect. I will say that their WIFI is very expensive. The golf car rental is expensive also, but we were very glad that we rented one. We did not have a car while we were there for two weeks and we could bike to WalMart which was a couple of miles away. The park was not full when we were there and we had no problems whatsoever with our dogs...they were allowed on the beach while we were there. Just a beautiful location with state of the art laundry facilities, pizza delivery by golf cart, very nice HUGE store and gift shop. Beautiful facility!!

We've stayed at this campground many times and have enjoyed each stay. The facilities are nice. So we planned another trip over the holidays. Unfortunately, we found we needed to change our reservation for the following week. The campsite we had selected was available for the new dates also. I was surprised that when I called, they wanted a $25 cancellation fee. I didn't want to cancel, just change the dates. They wanted $25 to cancel then I could make new reservations. What? I pay $25 to cancel, and then you want me to spend more money here to camp? They've become like a bank now. Charging a fee because they think they can, not to cover any real costs. Nothing was mailed to me, the campground is not sold out, so it really should have been just a simple change in the computer with no real cost. I know I wanted to change dates. Peoples plans change sometimes, despite their best intentions, no need to penalize them for it unless it had cost you something. I *thought* they would prefer to have a paying camper staying there. These days, places that cater to discretionary spending such as this should be bending over backwards for your dollars. Instead, they will get my $25 and I will never return.

We stayed here 2 weeks, and once again enjoyed being so close to the beach that you can hear the ocean and have a nice view. We definitely prefer the sites with concrete pads (they seem to be getting more of these each time). We like the nice laundry and other amenities in the park; but it does get a bit crowded sometimes and the "full-time" or "regulars" seem to feel that you should cater to them (for example they will park in the road and make you wait while they chit-chat). We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is one huge park! We stayed one night, but our friends enjoyed the beach so much that allows dogs that they stayed 3 nights. They charge extra for sites with concrete pads, but they did not seem any more level than the others. Only one precious row is along the beach, the rest are inland but a fairly short walk to the beach. Wifi is a whopping $10/day, and the outdoor snack bar with free wifi is a very long walk from most sites. The laundry and other facilities seemed top notch. The price seemed reasonable for what it is. Although it's not my style of campground, I would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very Large CG, but well run with large spots. Wi-Fi and Cable worked well. Bathrooms were excellent, showers were locked and spacious and clean. Many activities for both kids and adults. Store well stocked. Not really any cons. Would return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We recently stayed there for a rally from 10/6/08-10/10/08. The checkin staff/CG employees were very friendly and helpful when needed. The CG itself is huge and has just about everything you would need. The only complaint would be that while free WiFi is available at the onsite eatery/snackbar, it is limited to no more than 8 people at a time. If you want WiFi at your site, it cost extra at $9.95 per day which I think is a little pricey. They do however, have more than the usual number of available cable stations at the sites. Will stay there again in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.

My family and I have stayed in the Holiday Inn Section of Ocean Lakes for the last 3 years and love it there. The beach houses are gorgeous and we all love riding the golf carts all over the place. It is so much fun. The indoor and outdoor pools are awesome. The staff is very friendly and always helpful. My sister is handicapped and we were having a hard time last year figuring out the lift for the outdoor pool so we went inside and a super sweet girl came out by the pool helped my sister into the seat and gently and slowly lowered her into the water. She told us when we were finished to come get her and she would help us get her back out of the pool. Which she did. The grounds are always clean. Our favorite is the Sandy Mart. We love the clerks in there and the food at the Snack Shack is wonderful. Everything you need is just within a short golf cart ride all inside the beautiful Ocean Lakes Campground. We're already booked for September 2009 and can hardly wait. Check out Ocean Lakes when you're planning your family vacation. You will not be disappointed. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.

A good family park. There are lots of things for the younger campers to do within the park boundaries. There are many sites and yet this place can be full quickly. I would recommend reservations. My only complaint was the outrageous charge for WIFI at $10 per day. I will find some other place before paying this. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We made a reservation at this campground and then made the 200 mile trip to the campground to only find out that they did not keep our reservation and had no spots available. We had to scramble to get a sight somewhere else. We ended up finally getting a spot a another campground that was absolutely horrible. Thanks alot Ocean Lakes. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great place for kids. Easy access to the beach. Concrete sites are wonderful. This was our 4th stay. We were on two sites 2001 (Too windy and too much noise from the cooling unit for the hotel.) 3084 (Great spot w/ large tree, really busy spot on main road. Great for viewing traffic but rather busy location for small children). We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is probably the largest park we've ever stayed in and it took a little while to adjust. Great location and amenities. The beach was wonderful. We could walk right to the beach from our site. Be sure to padlock your coolers to your rig. Several people had their coolers stolen at night and we heard from others it is a regular occurrence. The kids loved the amenities especially "cruising" at night in the golf car. You will definitely need to rend a golf car if you visit as this place is huge. We would definitely visit again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We have stayed here a total of 5 times in as many years. We will continue to stay at this campground until we can't travel anymore. After you stay here. All other campgrounds you visit will be compared to Ocean Lakes. It's that nice. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I was very happy with most aspects of this campground. I loved the beach. We had a concrete pad which was very nice. Bathhouse was clean as was the laundry. Pools, gameroom and miniature golf were clean and nice. Store was huge. Every worker we encountered was extremely helpful and friendly. We did express check-in so it was a quick drive through the gates and to our site. Only issue with campground maintenance was that sites were not cleaned between guests. Our grassy area was littered with cigarette butts upon arrival and were still there when we left 8 days later. On our awning side, our neighbors seemed to think that the space behind them (OUR site) was there's to use as they wanted. The neighbors on the other side parked their diesel truck in the grass as close to our camper as they could. I could literally reach out my window and touch their truck. And, they liked to start it and run it alot. Even after "quiet time" started at 11pm. There seemed to be a total lack of consideration for others. Also, kids/adults walked through others campsites instead of using the roads. Then, there is the golf car issue. I personally enjoy going to the beach in the evening. However, you could not get across the road to the beach due to the steady parade of golf cars at night. Nobody, teens or adults, would stop to let you cross the road. I have stayed at larger campgrounds than this, and did not experience people utilizing our site as theirs, etc. so I am not sure why we experienced it here. We will probably return here to enjoy the campground but during the "off season" We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Ocean Lakes is a very big campground that uses every available inch of space to maximize to number of units it can accommodate. The signs were often obscured thus the directions to the sites were a challenge for the first time visitor. The need for an escort to the site would give this campground an higher rating. The fact that it sets next to the ocean is a very positive plus. We made return in the future. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Stayed on a concrete pad, this was nice. This was my forth trip to Ocean Lakes. It's more like a small community than a RV park. Enjoyable visit again, but I still don't like the golf cart parades at night and cars that speed around, sorry to say, but the majority of this is the fault of young drivers. Definitely will return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We enjoyed the park, all the amenities, and the beach. Also, the park was close to many restaurants, tourist locations, and RV repair services. Our only complaint was with the Wi-Fi service--it was very poor and when we complained about paying for service that did not work we were told that it was not guaranteed to work inside an RV (seemed odd to offer Wi-Fi in an RV park that does not work in an RV and not to tell you prior to paying). After several days of complaining and calling the service provider and speaking to the park manager finally got a callback from the provider owner and was given a refund. Parks should only get credit for having Wi-Fi if the service actually works. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Well maintained/organized campground thats loaded with amenities. Staff friendly and helpful. Most campground sites were a one to two minute walk to the beach. Huge/well stocked campground store. RV sites seem to be above average in size. Campground great for pets. Some of the things we had a problem with was the first night we were there we had our cooler broken into along with the campsite next to us. The hot water kept running out in the two bathhouses closes to us and the teenagers driving the golf carts were out of control,especially at night. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We have been camping for 14 years and have traveled from Maine to Florida and New Jersey to California. This Campground is the biggest place we have ever stayed at. Our stay was for the week of Easter. You would think that a place so big would not take the time or go the extra mile to make sure your stay was happy. But from the time you arrive at the Front Desk you can just see how well the place is ran. The young man that checked us in was had my wife laughing after being in our truck for 11 hours. The site was wide and level with all hook-ups conveniently placed. They even had a 25 ft cable for you. The campground had a large list of services on the property; RV Center, Property rentals, golf carts rentals, Snack-bar, very large Laundromat, Rec. Center, game room, pools, (indoor heated pool) and propane delivery. All areas were clean with friendly staff. Also the store here was like walking into a super campground store, if you could not find it there, you did not need it. About the bath houses, my youngest stated that they were the cleanest she has ever seen. The only down side to this campground was; the Security and the band of disrespectful young people roaming and riding on golf carts. The park posts they have 24 hour Security. During the day you see older police cars riding around, but at night I do not remember seeing them. The young people speeding and cruising through at night , (in cars, trucks & golf carts), was like being in down town Myrtle Beach on Friday night. We had our cooler, yes full of soda, beer and wine, and my fishing tackle box stolen from our site between 7 pm and 8:30 pm. This was the first thing I have ever had stolen from us since starting camping. When I spoke to Security they made it seem that it is a regular occurrence. I also spoke with a fellow camper 3 site away whose cooler was also taken. He told me that 4 coolers were taken that night. We hope to return but we will bring extra bike locks. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Lover it! Will definitely be back. We had section I sites 5 and 6 oceanfront. Paved roads throughout. Concrete pad at camp site well worth the money. Our sites were level. Lots to do for kids here. Our children didn't want to leave! It's like a little town, you don't have to leave for anything. Highly recommend a golf cart to get around this place or some form of wheeled transportation. There are alot of golf carts here so beware of that traffic. Highly recommend this CG for family camping! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A Wonderful place to spend New Years. This is a very large park with typical parking lot type sites. They are not small by any means but if you want privacy you will not find it here. We had a newly cemented site and yes it is worth the extra money to have. We were able to have the rig on the cement and the entire awning was over cement as well. The amenities were great for winter as well. Our children really liked the annual Polar Bear Plunge on new years eve. The only issue we had was golf carts. They are a nice mode of transportation in the park but the park does not seem to enforce the rules about who drives them. Some of the children we came across were a little on the reckless side. That is the only thing that keeps us from giving this resort a 10. We will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We booked off the of the internet for Thanksgiving holiday. We were totally impressed with operation. There were activities even in the off season for the kids (breakfast with Santa, bingo, karaoke, church services) and the staff was so friendly. I'm not sure where the last reviewer stayed, but EVERYONE here waves, says hello and starts of conversations. We needed duct tape, 5 mins later someone showed up as our neighbor radio'd them. Thanksgiving night another neighbor brought us a nice table cloth to "fancy up our picnic table" for our dinner. Campers are friendly, trusting and make the experience worth it. The park is pristine, no trash, bathrooms were heated and always clean. We already booked to go back this summer and the kids are so excited to partake in the outdoor pools and beach. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This was our first visit to Myrtle Beach. I was somewhat hesitant on staying at this campground due to the reports of the excessive golf cart traffic. We had a great time. Even though our stay was over the "Golf Cart" parade weekend, the golf carts were not bothersome. Staff courteous and helpful. Security present but not overbearing. Our site was 60 feet from the beach. Sites are Pull-Thru, however there isn't a lot of maneuvering space available. Will be returning on a yearly basis. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground is way too big. It is not just the number of camping sites, but also the large number of rental housing units, old park models, old trailer houses and newer 2 and 3 story rental and for sale houses. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Lots of security personnel driving around. The status symbol in the campground is the size and type of golf cart you buzz around in. While walking they were a menace and while driving my truck I was concerned I would accidently run over one. Most of the other campers acted totally surprised if you waved and said hi to them. Not sure if they were miserable or just aloof. I wouldn't stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
