Myrtle Beach State park camping anyone?

Good morning from FRIGID Michigan! Has anyone camped at Myrtle Beach State Park before? I see their rates are reasonable, location great, and they have full hookup! Anyone ever stayed at the Jacksonville area state parks in Florida? Thanks for your help! We're thinking of heading there this April.

We stayed there last year. It is south of town, so if you are coming in from the North, stay on the bypass road as far a possible. The CG is okay. Like most State Parks, they never cut the tree limbs and level the sites, but some are okay. The park is right on the water, but you will need to drive or take a bike to get to the water.

If you are coming down I-75, there is a State park right after you enter Florida. Septhan Foster SP. About 3 miles off I-75. Real nice and they have some really big/nice sites.

If you are coming down I-95, there are two parks north of Jax. Flamigo and Pecan Park. Flamigo has more charm. Both are right off the interstate. Flamigo is off 295 where it splits from 95. There is a county park in Mayport, which is NorthEast of Jax. Real nice beach and park. Also there is Ft Clinch also NE of Jax. s/Toby

We have stayed there a number of times over the years. Unless there has been some major changes, there is no sewer - just a dumpstation just down from the office.
The beach is a few hundred yards from the CG. The CG really needs some money spent on it. If it rains, there is puddles of muddy water. A few dozen loads of gravel spread around the park would do wonders. Some sites are fine others are crowded and small.
MBSP is south of town on US 17 and is convenient to most anything around MB.

The website makes no mention of sewer, just water and eletric:

Thank you so much for the information! so much to consider. On the "ReserveAmerica" site, they list some of the sites as full service, including sewer??? Site 45, loop #1 is open...and shows it's a full service? Anyone been there recently? Thank you!
