We like MBSP a lot and appreciate the convenience of a Food Lion across Rt. 17, an easy bike ride to get your groceries.

The planes are noisy to be sure, but we didn't experience any airport noise in the evening.

Some of the sites at HBSP are actually too "open" for us as we prefer the somewhat wooded sites at MBSP.

The seafood in Murrell's Inlet near HBSP is excellent, and we had an excellent meal at "Drunken Jack's". And of course Brookgreen Gardens across the highway from HBSP is definitely worth a day, and the "castle" at HBSP is certainly worth a tour.

Food Lion at MBTP has Diesel and Gas. We use that route instead of the more crowded intersection at Wal-Mart and the Outlet Stores. I leave this week for MBTP, its a favorite of ours. I have never stayed in South Myrtle, I might check that out this year, and look at the State Park.

We go to Skidaway Island SP in GA near Savannah now; that or Ft. McAllister. Myrtle Beach has become too, too touristy for lack of a better word.

One thing about more wooded campsites: they have more biting insects like chiggers, ticks, no-see-ums and mosquitoes. Keep your bug spray on in warm weather.

We love this state park. We will be there in a couple of weeks. We are close enough that this is our go to weekend campground. We get our trailer back after a limb fell through the roof can't wait to go to High Falls.

Will HBSP let you drive thru the campground?
What sites are the most shady and private sites at HBSP?

Once you enter the park you can drive through the campground. The most private are on the back loop it has lots of trees.

We like HBSP better than MBSP - easier access to the beach and larger sites. But we love the location of MBSP - we can ride our bikes everywhere. From HBSP it is about 2 miles to the nearest store but it is an easy ride over to Brookgreen gardens.

We have made it to Mbsp and I would have to say this is a great park. The airport is close by and you do hear the planes landing and taking off but with young boys it is just and add sight. The park is managed great and the bathhouse are very clean. We still have a few more days here then heading to high falls in Ga. Thanks for all the feed back so far.

We just returned from a week in Myrtle Beach. We stayed at the KOA and loved it but we also spent a whole day in Huntington Beach State Park and Myrtle Beach State Park. Both places are great and have lovely campgrounds. Please click on our blog below and check the last four or five posts which are all about Myrtle Beach. The post on Myrtle Beach State Park has several pictures of the campgrounds (which I walked around for about an hour) and some of the sites--which were not small at all in my opinion. We had an awesome vacation in South Carolina and found good places to eat and fun things to do. If you have any questions please ask.

tbolt2000, there is a vidio on youtube that show a picture of each site along with site number. This is how we pick our site. just hope the picture not misleading.

wxtoad,you posted prices of $26 to $29 at Huntington Beach.Maybe it depends on the time of year and wether you had full hookups or water and electric.But we were just there over Christmas and paid $18 a night for water and electric.We really enjoyed the park.Our site,127 was isolated from other sites which we like.We went to 3 nature programs put on by park employees.The nature center was even open Christmas Day.They have a nice store and the employees were very friendly.You're not too far from Murrel's Inlet where there are a number of good restaurants.
