Our Home away from Home...........
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/2/08
We love this park. My husband and I spent our honeymoon, 27 years ago there. We, over the years took our children there for vacations and camped, some years in tents, one year in the cabins and some in an R.V.,. Only once did we stay in one of the many Hotels on the strip........we were so miserable, we spent several days paying to be at Myrtle Beach State Park all day instead. My family and I love everything about the park. We have always found it, quiet, peaceful, with interesting things for the kids to do and learn about, Clean facilities, and some of the nicest and most helpful park employees you could ever hope for. This park has sort of become a home away from home for us. But, as I said, my husband and I spent our honeymoon there, 27 years ago and we haven't had a vacation there ALONE,.... since....ha,ha.....but, now the kids are grown and the middle of October, when our anniversary comes up, we are planning our first vacation/second honeymoon, I guess you might say, at Myrtle Beach State Park............ALONE !!!!!!...well, my little dog has to go........but, thats a must....... for the first time no KID'S !!!!! I can't wait. I have heard that they now have turned the Camp Store into an internet Cafe type thing....not sure, we haven't had the pleasure of visiting in a couple of years but, if that is true....it may not be much of a second honeymoon for me, if my husband discovers that........ha,ha....Maybe there will still be some cute life gaurds for me to stay busy watching....... Kidding aside......... Anyone looking for nothing but pure relaxation, peacefulness, nothing but friendly smiles.........please give this park a try. Trust me, you will love it. Unless you are the type who needs "wear you out activities", noise, and pure exhaustion.... then I suggest staying in town. To all who take care of and run Myrtle Beach State Park........Thank You, and I will see you soon. Cold or not, I will be there.
