Does anybody know how the Myrtle Beach area fared during Matthew? Lots of press on NC but very little on the news about South Carolina. We had planned a mid-winter escape for early 2017.......:E

Early 2017? Not a problem at all. We're going a week from Friday and I don't foresee any problems.

Hi--we will be going through MB tomorrow on our way south. Will report back after we do--stay tuned.

I was/am on a SC/GA beach caravan that was to begin 10/23 and end 11/4. This year we had 3 stops as opposed to 4, and two have cancelled us: Edisto Beach SP and Huntington Beach SP. We are waiting on notification of our last stop, Tybee Island. Prior to the caravan I had booked Hunting Island, which has also cancelled.

We are thinking that even if that's not cancelled, and we can book inland for the week prior, that bugs will be bad and businesses will be closed. Foley Beach near Charleston is up and running.

I think tybee got beat down bad. I stayed at red gate in savannah last year. pretty nice if that helps..

Thanks, but I'm part of a large group caravan. Our first two stops have cancelled, so if Tybee does as well the whole event is off.

Call River's End to confirm your dates. Tybee has all utilities back up and running. People are still in clean up and repair mode but Tybee Market is open and most of the restaurants are open. Send me a PM if you have more questions.

Myrtle Beach Travel Park have provided their status on their website. I haven't checked other area campgrounds but they may have done the same.

Thanks, PackerBacker! Myrtle Beach Travel Park is our most likely choice.

PackerBaker, I apologize if I asked you this before...do you camp in and around Lambeau? We haven't since they tore down the Road Star, K-Mart, etc., but hope to go to the other side behind the Sideline.

No, unfortunately we've never had the opportunity to camp there. I've only ever been there many years ago when I used to do business in the area and stayed in hotels.
