Myrtle Beach Reccomendations

First let me preface by saying I did do a search but I just couldn't glean exactly what I was looking for. So - Thinking of heading to Myrtle Beach over Thanksgiving break. First - is this feasible being a major holiday? Second - never been there let alone camping. I know there are quite a few CG's but I would prefer something nice. Many look like parking lots. Doesn't have to be on the beach but that's a nice to have. Doesn't have to be a resort either but decent sites. Thinking of heading out Friday before, 21st and back Wed 26th. Major travel days I know. Just looking for warmer beach getaway within a day's drive from Md.

We usually head into the State Park if there's availability and there should be unless they've closed some spots for the winter. Once in a while, there's a special going on at the KOA and take advantage of those too. If you want the beach, then Ocean Lakes is the really big one and shouldn't be such a nut house in NOV. We have learned to stay away from that mad house in the summer, so next all around choice for beach on the north end of town, might be the Apache, even though pretty tight. There's also Lakewood and Pirate Land close to Ocean Lakes at Surfside to the south.
