We've enjoyed hanging out with our friends this weekend at Myrtle Beach. We started out Thursday night to get a jumpstart and after traveling 3 hours we stopped at a Pilot truck stop for the night. The back lot had to have over 100 trucks parked for the night. 2 reasons not to pull into the few spots we saw was 1.. the trucks run all night and we knew we wouldn't get the sleep needed for the 5 hour drive next morning. 2.. I know Brian knows how to park this thing but the spots were tight! I'm not ok with leading him backwards into a dark tunnel. I give a high five to these truckers and how they can handle those things!
We parked up front near the customer parking with other over night vehicles for the night. The temp outside was 66 during the night so it was very comfy. No a/c needed.
The second part of the drive we headed up 95 drove through some beautiful country side to get to Myrtle Beach, SC. The park is very clean and lots of shade. There is a fully stocked park store with snacks, milk, firewood and ice. The park offers over 300 sites, some small enough for tents and plenty sites that can hold your longest TT. Towards the back loop of the campground you'll find full hook up and for everyone else, self contained, there are 2 dump stations. There are a few bath and shower houses as well as laundry. Laundry is $2 for a wash and $2 for a dry. They don't have card readers so you'll need to bring your coins.
There is a nature trail, bike path, picnic area and beach. The picnic playground area near the beach is shaded by Cyprus trees and has facilities. The beach is very clean and has no life guard. There is also a foot washing station once you come off the beach.
Okay so downside is that there is an airport nearby and they have flights 6am to 12am. We love aircraft but it kinda made it hard for conversation outside. Being in the rv helped cut out some of that noise. If you are a light sleeper you may not want to tent camp here.
We went to Huntington state park and saw the Alalyah castle. I will include pictures
