Beach<\/p><\/div>\n

We are three days into our 4-day stay at the Lakewood Camping Resort<\/a> in Myrtle Beach SC. We paid a bit extra for an “oceanfront” site, meaning that we are the closest RV to the ocean. But it doesn’t mean that we can see the ocean; there is an 8-foot-high sand berm between us and the surf. We can hear it but we can’t see it. That is a bit disappointing. I thought we would be able to sit at our table and watch the surf.<\/p>\n

Oh well. We get the salt spray, so it is a good thing that we are here for just a few days. Otherwise the truck might develop rust spots.<\/p>\n

It is going to rain today and tomorrow, which will make the teardown tomorrow morning unpleasant. But it will wash the salt off.<\/p>\n

Lakewood is about a quarter-mile north of Ocean Lakes Campground<\/a> where we stayed after STS Hop 7<\/a>. We liked Ocean Lakes a lot. Lakewood is very similar in many ways. Both are huge (1,800 sites at Lakewood) and have wonderful beaches and facilities, including water parks. Anyone with kids would have a great time at either place.<\/p>\n

The big difference is service. Ocean Lakes has it; Lakewood doesn’t. Oh, check-in was fine and the staff is pleasant enough. But we are left scratching our heads at the inability of staff to answer simple questions:<\/p>\n
