I have never stayed at Lakewood so I don't know about it. I have also stayed at Cypress. Of the ones that I have stayed in MB I like MBTP the best. The atmosphere is more laid back even in the busy season. You are right there at restaurant row as well if you are into dining out. MBTP used to use a paper reservation system so sometimes it got fowled up but I haven't been there in a few years so things may have changed. The staff were always courteous. The grounds were always clean and well kept. The beach access was good and it was always clean as well.
We have stayed in Myrtle Beach now for about 7 years. Always at the Willowtree RV Resort and one stay at Cypress Camp resort. Now that my daughters are grown and married (the youngest married last Saturday) it will be just my wife and I with our two Cocker Spaniels.
We really like Willowtree but you have to drive a fair distance to get anywhere. Cyprus had just opened and will be a very nice park when they implement everything they have planned.
I was curious what it would be like to stay on the beach for a change. We drove through the big three (with a visitor Pass) Pirate Land, Ocean Lakes, and Lakewood. It was peak season and they were packed full. In Ocean Lakes a young boy in a golf cart ran into my truck while I was stopped waiting for people to cross the road. They had no adult with them and fortunately no damage to my front bumper. I have ruled that park out.
We were also able to tour The Travel Park. It seemed more subdued then the others and I don't remember any golf carts. It was also getting dark and we only had a short time to tour.
For those of you who have stayed there can you provide details on what you like and don't like as well as what part of the park to stay in that would be best for us considering we have two dogs?
We will probably be going next summer in late June or early July.
Thanks!
Dave
