We're planning our first big camping trip and are leaning toward Myrtle Beach. We've heard great things about Pirateland. Any thoughts or suggestions vs. Lakewood or any others nearby?

Wouldn't mind hearing from any of you on your suggestions for other waterfront parks on the east coast.

Thanks!!

What are you looking for?

Paved pads or dirt pads?
Golf cart rentals or not?
Other amenities?
Location? North or south?
Price point ? Not much difference between the commercial parks the state park will be around half price, but lacking in amenities.

We've stayed at Lakewood and ocean lakes. Prefer ocean lakes with its paved pads and we have a golf cart that we like to use. Some will complain about how big or busy it is. But it's the largest rv park on the east coast. Lakewood is ok. But dirt pads and you are backed in to the camper behind you. Ocean lakes pads are pull through. Lakewood does have the new water slide though. Haven't been to Pirateland. Have only seen it from Lakewood and we didn't care for its look. Drove through Apache and it was run down and nothing but dirt. Drove through myrtle beach travel park and it's better than apache and where we would stay if we wanted to be on the north side and didn't take a golf cart. But the pads/roads are dirt and the sites closest to the beach flood.
