Ocean Lakes Campground ,Myrtle Beach

[youngone]

We are looking into going to Myrtle Beach In 4/16-5/16. I know there are a few campgrounds on the ocean. I was looking at Ocean lakes and they had sites right along the ocean. Closest sites available were 36 feet from the beach. We are beach people so the closer the better. We will be staying for up to a month and coming from New Hampshire so would like someplace real enjoyable. Just the wife and I. Both will be retired and want to see Myrtle Beach. All info On all campsites will be very helpful! Thank You!

Great information everyone! Keep it coming! Thanks

Another voice for Huntington. Bigger spaces, most with plenty of shade, close enough to a great beach that's not over crowded. They do have a number of full hookup sites, but they go fast.

Check out Myrtle Beach and Huntington State Park

We have never been to ocean lakes when school was out (except spring break) and never heard loud music or crazy people on gulf carts. They have security and don't allow motorcycles. If you don't go in the summer I see nothing wrong with it.

I would also say that south of Myrtle Beach has some of the best food. Most of the places in Murrels Inlet have very good food.

We stayed at Myrtle Beach State Park. They have full hook up sites. Is not as close to the ocean but it ouly takes a few minutes to walk to the beach. Its a real nice park the camp sites are spaced farther apart than the commercial campgrounds. The only bad thing I have to say about it is that it's in the flight path of the air port.

Now if you want something a litte father away from the city just down the road is Huntington State Park. Its nice we stayed there last year. But you can only get sites with water and electric.

If you're looking for peace and serenity you won't get much being on the front row at OL. Lots of golf carts with loud music and constant traffic. We prefer MBTP just for that reason. The place isn't full of carts running around like crazy, just a much more laid back atmosphere.
Others may disagree, that's just my $0.2.

We prefer Lakewood and are going there Saturday. One nice thing is if its cold their pool is in a glass building oceanfront. I also do not like the lask of security and rule enforcement at OL but then again it won't be summer yet.

We were at Pireatland and had an ocean front site. you can go to Any of the maps (Google Earth, MapQuest etc) and go to satellite view and get a good idea of what you are looking for! BTW, Ocean Lakes sites are a bit tight. I`ve seen pictures of where people park there truck in front of their door because there is no room on the site!

Either way it is a good time!

Go online and look at the campsites. "Some" of their oceanfront sites are VERY small. A few are good sized. At that time of year, You should have a good selection of sites. Plus in April. It will not be so hot there.

And FYI. All of the Oceanfront CGs have sites right at the beach. PirateLand, Lakewood, and Myrtle Beach Travel Park, have larger oceanfront sites. In truth you can't go wrong with any of the MB CGs.

We too are beach people. For us, the only reason to go to the beach is the beach. So we get as close as we can. I love being able to just bounce out of the TT and on to the beach.

All the mentioned CGs have pools, indoor, and out. PitateLand, and MBTP have Lazy Rivers. All have minigolf, paddle boats, Laundry, Snack bars, Ice Cream, and Camp stores. In truth, You never have to leave the CGs to get most of what you want.

There is room, and good roads to ride bikes, and all will rent you a cart to get around if you want, Except for MBTP. They don't have Carts for non perminat campers Only OL will let you bring your own.

The South MB CGs are closed to Downtown, and if you want a day trip. Charleston SC. The North CGs are closer to the best restaurants, and Barefoot Landing, and if you want a day trip. Wilmington NC, and of course the BEST donuts in the world at Carolina Beach NC.

So call soon, and enjoy.
