Lantley, whatever you chose you will have a great time. I would like to point out that HBSP is 16 hours more drive time assuming that you want to come back :). It sounds like you enjoy the journey as well as the destination so go for it.
The MB area is far beyond Assateague and the robber barons of Ocean City. Well worth going if you can spend enough time to truly explore. Charleston is only 90 more miles and is an awesome vibrant southern city with lots to do.
Hi Bucky I didn't mention it but I have done both MB and Charleston a few times. Great Places I agree. But as you point out HBSP is 16 hours roundtrip much further than OC,MD.
I agree MB is probably the best beach destination on the east coast especially for campers. However OC,MD is only 3 hours away.That is my quandary over lots of destinations at this point.
Getting the most bang for my drive time while exploring somewhere new and different. As my kids are getting older family vacations as I have known will start to fade away. I really want to make these last few count.
