Didn't want to hijack the previous thread, but I did want to pop a quick review at the end of our stay here.
First of all, the place is huge. The sites are a mix of back-ins, pulls throughs, sand and grass, and concrete. There are also a bunch of cottages. All together there are close to 900 sites, and even off season the occupancy rate seems to be about 65%. It's hard to say because the maintenance staff plays some kind or musical chairs game with empty sites and the trailers they store for the winter, even thought there's a storage lot across the street. Also, one entire section is closed for the construction of a water park, which may explain the apparent occupancy rate. But there's no way around it, the place is big.
Everything you need is either on the property or within biking distance. On site there are several bath houses, a small store, laundry, a cafe type place to eat, golf cart rentals, and RV repair service.
There's a Walmart grocery across the boulevard, a super Walmart a mile away. There's a Camping World a mile away, and mobile service from Carolina RV. Enterprise car rental in Myrtle (not the airport) has pick up service right to your site.
There's a full liquor store about a mile south on business route 17 (something funky about SC liquor laws - beer and cigarettes are in a separate store from wine and liquor), and restaurant row north on Bus 17. We can recommend the Noizy Oyster for seafood. Get the steam bucket for 1 and an order of mussels.
Our site was 1 row back from the Atlantic Ocean beach.
It just doesn't get any better.

No back-in spots that I have seen. All are pull- thru.
Yep and while there are some smaller homes, I wouldn't equate them all to "cottages"...if some of those are cottages to you, then my hats off to you and your mansion...lol

Are they putting the water park between Ocean Lakes and Pirateland? I remember when the original amusement park was open. When I was a kid it had an entrance from Pirateland across a bridge.
Glad you enjoyed it. Some of my fondest childhood memories are from Pirateland and Ocean Lakes. We'd go down there every year in our '76 Winnebago Brave. Someday I'd like to get back down there, ideally in my RV.
Pirateland is NOT beside Ocean Lakes. Lake wood, and Pirateland are beside each other. OL is down the beach couple hundred yards from them.
Ah! It was Lakewood I was thinking of then. I guess I've never been to Ocean Lakes. Thanks for the clarification.
