Surfside is north of Huntington beach State park(about 10miles), but very near Myrtle beach State Park.

Springmaid would still be the economical and close hotel, Myrtle Beach State park would be the closest camping with Hookups, unless Ocean Lakes has an opening.

The postings from ted didnt really descibe the exact regatta area, so not sure how close these 2 places are, but Surfside is not that big of an area, so these 2 places should be within a 5-6 miles of the Launch.
Sorry I dont have all the answers!

The men were amazed, and said, "What kind of a man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?" Matthew 8:27
