Myrtle Beach Suggestions

Now we are on to planning the next vacation for the summer and are considering Myrtle. I personally have never been there. Last year we did Cherrystone in southern VA based on recommendations and it was a great time so looking to the forum again. This trip is a bit different than most others we take. It includes my parents and my sister and her 4 person family. None of them have an RV or do much camping, so for this trip every year we look for a place that has nice cabins. There will be 5 kids with this crew ranging from 4 to 13 in age. So.. While my immediate family are more "mountain" camping types, we do enjoy the beach and it tends to go over better with the whole crew.

Myrtle beach looks like a fun location. Through a quick google search the KOA looks nice (wooded but close to the beach) and I see a place called Pirateland which appears to be huge and right on the beach. Any thoughts? Thanks!
  • If you do not mind a little drive time to get to the beach, Daddy Joes Jellystone Park in Tabor City has nice cabins, pools and lots to keep the kids busy and safe. It is quiet at night and not in the middle of the crowd. A half hour and a world away from the hustle and bustle. Beautiful sites and nature all around.
    We live close to the beach and do not camp there but did stay at all the campgrounds there at one time or another before we moved here and did not enjoy the feeling of being in an unpaved parking lot with sand so full of ashes it is gray. Tried Daddy Joes and it felt like a real rv park.
    Whichever spot you choose, enjoy our beautiful area!
  • Pirateland lakewood and ocean lakes are all together at the south end of myrtle and they are great parks. Not sure about cabins but pirateland has large wooden canopies at most sites.
