Just don't go when school is out. It is crazy then with kids, golf carts, etc. - Pawz4meExplorerMyrtle Beach Travel Park.
You'll likely have a great time at any of them. We prefer MBTP due to its size (a little smaller than the campgrounds to the south), its proximity to things we like to do and the limited number of golf carts allowed. - TerryallanExplorer II

Wouldn't mind hearing from any of you on your suggestions for other waterfront parks on the east coast.
Thanks!!
PirateLand in South MBis more quieter than most of the others, with larger sites. And coming next summer a Pirate ship splash zone. and is our favorite.
MBTP in North MB is very nice as well, and quiet as well with no golf carts.
Which ever you decide. Call now. I made my fourth of July reservations Saturday. They are almost full. Few sites left.
For me and mine. Personally. I like sites with full hookups. There is a really good chance your sewer tank will not last a week. Mine won't. And taking the TT to a dump station, Is just out of the question, as is dumping into t tote and dragging it there as well. Few of the state park sites have full hookups. So for me they are out. Another reason I don't use MB state park. Is that the campsites are so far from the beach. I like to be a VERY short walk from the beach, and at Pirate Land. I am less than 200 feet from the beach - OaklevelExplorerWe love Ocean Lakes ESP in the off seasons but go during the summer as well......depends on your tastes......... I too have read many of the reviews have never seen some of the issues they report. If you have big dogs Lakewood is out.... Spent 3 nearly 4 weeks at Ocean Lakes this year & have two reserved already for next year.....

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. - StclairmExplorerMyrtle Beach Travel Park in our opinion is the best park in MB. We tried them all first and ended up there last and haven't gone anywhere else.
