Pirateland campground

Hello.......Ohio

My family and I stayed at Pirateland, 2 years ago and loved it. We stayed in a rental trailer and my sister and her family camped close to the beach. The owners keep the area very clean and the pool is hugh, even in July when we were there, it never seemed crowded. They employ a great staff for activities for the kids and they sell wonderful ice cream cones at the ice cream shop. Loved the general store, too. The beach is very wide in this area and nice with large sand dunes. It will change somewhat this summer as the area is in a beach renourishment project. I think, though down on this stretch, which is considered South Beach, they should be finished if you plan on going sometime in the summer.

The only downside is the golf carts that people decorate, who live in the park and parade around every night. Some like this, others don%26#39;t. After a night or two, it can get on your nerves. But it is a great campground as I have stayed in Myrtle Beach Travel Park, Apache and Ocean Lakes........Pirate land ranks no. 1 in my opinion. The Lazy river is wonderful too.

good luck and have a great trip !!!

Pirateland campground

Hi! We have camp @ Pirateland for 5 or 6 years, when the kids were teenagers (up to age 20) and they love it. I would recommend the following, if camping in ';beach area';.

1. Ask for a site between (roads) Pirateland North and Pirateland South.

2. Do NOT get a site on (roads) Pirateland North or Market Street. These are the busiest, with cars/and golf carts. (Look at Pirateland map).

3. Wherever you are rent a golf cart. Even though this can add $$ to your trip, you will either be walking to the beach or pool. Driving to either, there isn%26#39;t a lot of parking, and think if you are wet, sandy---do you want to get in your vehicle. Besides, they are fun. The first year we went, we tried a few days without one, someone gave us a ride to the pool, and we were sold.

The campground will be crowded, and spots close together, but we didn%26#39;t spend much time @ our site, only to eat and sleep. We did learn after a few years to spend some extra $$ and get one of the few sites that was a pull thru with a shelter.

Also if your friends are camping, warn them some of the sites are very tight to get into, and and depending on where they are at. Most fellow campers will help you (even moving their cars, so you can get in).

At night, around 9:30/10 go up to the beach area, and watch (or drive) your golf cart with the parade of people.

If you have young teenagers, there is a teen dance one night a week. Hope you have fun!
