What campers like
Private bathroom facilities: Taissa K. at Holden Beach RV Campground appreciates that "the bath house has a private toilet, sink and shower- beautifully tiled and maintained," providing hotel-like comfort for tent and RV campers.
Exceptional dog facilities: Dog owners consistently praise the pet amenities at several campgrounds. Kristie B. mentions In The Pines RV & Cabin Village has a "Dog Park and nice mowed lanes for walks," while Nancy C. describes CarrollWoods as having "one of the best dog parks that I have ever been to. It is very spacious, fully shaded by lots of trees and even has a few man-made hills for the pooches to climb."
Extended-stay options: Multiple campgrounds cater to long-term visitors. Caleb S. observed at Holden Beach RV Campground, "The sites are far enough apart you don't get interrupted by the neighboring campsites but the campground isn't so big you have to drive everywhere," creating a community feel for extended stays.
What you should know
Seasonal occupancy variations: Off-season camping offers quieter experiences and often better availability. Ariel F. reported at North Myrtle Beach RV Resort, "The place is VERY quiet in the off season. We didn't have any neighbors in the surrounding spots."
Remote work capabilities: For digital nomads, connectivity varies significantly. Ariel F. noted, "We both work from home on hot spots and our Verizon connection was great," while at Willow Tree RV Resort, Robert M. found "T-mobile phone and hotspot work well" but "ATT hotspot ok," indicating variable carrier performance.
Variable site privacy: The spacing between sites differs substantially between campgrounds. Rose S. at Willow Tree RV Resort noted that lakeside sites "are angled so that you don't really see much of your neighbors," contrasting with Harbor Point where VSG T. cautions the "sites are on top of each other."
