Hurricane Matthew/Myrtle Beach

[Drbolasky]

Does anybody know how the Myrtle Beach area fared during Matthew? Lots of press on NC but very little on the news about South Carolina. We had planned a mid-winter escape for early 2017.......:E

Are you presently there? Huntington Beach has cancelled half of our stay, and some members of our group spoke with someone on the phone who says the other days will be cancelled as well. I am wondering about trying to stay at Ocean Lakes or Lakewood, but wondering about the roads, beach, and surrounding area. We were to arrive a week from Saturday. Any feedback is appreciated.

Ocean Lakes web site clicky


Ocean Lakes is up and running. Water park is closed until spring 2017 but the indoor and outdoor pools are open. Very much worth the trip for a true ocean view right from most of the ocean front sites now, since the dunes got knocked down a bit.

HI again--just came through MB on RT 17 heading south. Lots of damage, trees down, power company working on electric lines, etc. but roads were fine with no detours. I would call the place where you are planning to be and make sure, but it looked like everything was up and running.

No, unfortunately we've never had the opportunity to camp there. I've only ever been there many years ago when I used to do business in the area and stayed in hotels.

PackerBaker, I apologize if I asked you this before...do you camp in and around Lambeau? We haven't since they tore down the Road Star, K-Mart, etc., but hope to go to the other side behind the Sideline.

[Drbolasky]

Thanks, PackerBacker! Myrtle Beach Travel Park is our most likely choice.

Myrtle Beach Travel Park have provided their status on their website. I haven't checked other area campgrounds but they may have done the same.

Call River's End to confirm your dates. Tybee has all utilities back up and running. People are still in clean up and repair mode but Tybee Market is open and most of the restaurants are open. Send me a PM if you have more questions.

I think tybee got beat down bad. I stayed at red gate in savannah last year. pretty nice if that helps..

Thanks, but I'm part of a large group caravan. Our first two stops have cancelled, so if Tybee does as well the whole event is off.
