Ocean front getaway

Can anyone recommend an ocean front campground with in a days drive of Indiana? Looking for ideas for our next trip..
  • Love the Myrtle Beach Travel Park. Not cheap but right on the water, beautiful beach, pool, lazy river, lots of kid's activities and very well run. Many activities outside the park-go karting, amusement parks, shopping, etc. Sites are tight. Also like the Outer Banks but think the beaches in MB are better.
  • Hilton Head Harbor Resort is really nice.....you will pay for that niceness too. I don't see you getting to the ocean in one day either. You might consider Virginia Beach, The Outer Banks, North Myrtle Beach or Myrtle Beach.
  • You may want to check out Myrtle Beach, SC as there are several right on the beach. Since that is prime real estate, the prices are not inexpensive and the sites are pretty tight. The Myrtle Beach State Park is probably the best if you can get in.
  • I think a 2 day drive is more realistic. We are looking at Hilton Head. Anyone out there have campground recommendations?
  • Lake Michigan is big enough you will think it's an ocean. Fresh water though. Anywhere along the west side of Michigan there are an abundance of campgrounds. The state of Michigan's website can help as well as listings by city at rvparkreviews.com.

    We love Holland. Spent every summer there growing up in the cottages down the beach from the state park. The water is always freezing... Love watching the boats going in and out of the channel by Big Red light House.
