Beautiful weekend!
From checking in until packing up to leave, my three night stay was very pleasant and restful. I disperse camp usually, but having the advantage of a very well maintained bathhouse was super nice. I have friends in Wilmington and frequent this area. This Campground will be my go to location when I'm in town!

Popular with the locals.
We made our way here just before Hurricane Milton hit Florida and stayed a week right next to the river. Very busy during the day with local fishermen. There's a lot of garage spread out, we cleaned up our area the best we could. Close to a busy highway but it didn't bother us. The river is gorgeous and we spent a good amount of our time here kayaking.

Disappointing and dirty
It is insanely packed so in a tent, you have no privacy at all. It’s also very loud and bright during the night cause of all the lights for example at the restaurant. The showers were a disgrace and need to be renovated and they booked my tent at a RV side so I paid over 70$ for one night. You don’t feel like you are at a campground but in the middle of a city.

Clean, fam-friendly, resort camping
Barefoot RV Resort was so CLEAN! Like I mean immaculate. Has 2 pools (one for kids with a slide & lazy river and one more for adults/quieter activities). The pools are in opposite corners of the resort. Bathhouses were new and very clean- water pressure great. Our site was very well kept, easy to use with a grass patch, cement pad & paver fire pit. You are quite close to all your neighbors here, but that's to be expected in Myrtle Beach. Rent a golf cart from Salty's- they deliver it right to your campsite. This was a must have as we used it to get to the beach, shopping/bars in Barefoot Landing, food store and more. Staff were welcoming, informative, accessible & friendly. We would absolutely come back!

Awesome waterpark!! Very crowded...
The RV spaces really have no shade or trees, so if you like the sun and to be directly off the beach,this place is for you. They have alot of amenities to offer, including a waterpark with multiple pools, watersides, lazy river, kids' play area, mini golf. They have alot going on here for families. The beach has basketball courts, playgrounds, and you can rent golfcarts. It's a very busy with alot of people driving all around. The beach water was so clean and warm. You can also rent trailers or huge beach houses who share the same pool. The area has so much to do, including pirates adventure, Broadway on the beach, and the hangout with the foam party.

This was a nice spot with flat, river front dispersed sites for tents or boondocking. It was easy to discern the campsites and had an open parking lot. There were a few sites that are not safe to drive to because of very loose sand. It is safer to park and explore on foot before driving up to those sites.

We absolutely love visiting Lakewood resort. We just finished our third trip and it’s a family favorite and has become a non-negotiable for our kids. The waterpark is fun to break up some of the sun and surf indulging. The food is delicious on site when you don’t feel like grilling or cooking up some camp food. Our favorite is stopping at beach bum coffee and walking in the morning while most other campers are still sleeping. It’s serene and so calm. You can hear the waves crashing and the sights are breathtaking.

Ideal shaded sites, close to beaches, fishing, and good food.
This is a relaxing, natural campground. Many bird songs at sunrise and Whip poor will calls at sunset every night. We have dogs and there are nice places to walk along the pond, and grass areas all around the campground. The dog park is nice for some off leash time. The facilities are great with a store, laundry, and clean restrooms and showers. A very nice pool is available, but with Sunset beach, and Ocean Isle beach just minutes away we have gone there daily. I am fascinated by Bird Island that is a nature preserve and reachable from Sunset beach, this is a day trip we are looking forward to taking the dogs on. Calabash is another town we have visited and it is a gem. We didn’t expect to want anything but seafood but the Peruvian restaurants’ line out the door was intriguing and we ended up there for a late lunch and loved it. My partner is an avid fisherman and had a great day fishing on a Hurricane charter out of Calabash.

Myrtle Beach KOA
Aging park with good and bad
Park is pretty overall but badly aging. Renovated bathrooms are marginal with tons of maintenance issues and not terribly clean. For instance hot water is a challenge and many broken latches on showers and toilet stalls left you exposed. We had one of the ancient spots with shared power pole that we had to use converter to use the remaining 50amp (we only needed 30). Feel sorry if you were a class A rig and needed the 50 and only had 40 left. Site was large but horrible cable connection, and could not use sewer connection as our “stuff” dies not flow uphill. Avoid the back in regular spots. Pay more for newer albeit very clean together patio spots. And sadly a rustic spot like ours was $87/night. The good is you are in walking distance of Myrtle beach, shops, and restaurants. But we were very disappointed in the area either 1-3 star hotels, lousy food, and cheap trinket shops. Beach is ok but there are much better in Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. Like this KOA, maintenance is not a priority for the town or merchants as commercial properties were run down, littered, and many were out of business. Our advice is go someplace else. This area is sad.

Nice location
Nice location to beach. We were 3 spots away from beach access. Lots to do. There is a Walmart neighborhood market across the street. It takes about 25 mins to get to Broadway on the Beach so the downside was driving distance to things outside of the Campground. However there is plenty to keep people busy at the camp. Spots are tight and we needed neighbors to move their cars and things to get out. Due to limited room, people park in front of campers so the cars are sticking out a little. They did have issues with WiFi but we had our own so it was not an issue for us.

Camp Ipecac Group Camp — Singletary Lake State Park
Nice spot for family/friends gathering
This is a spacious group camping area; You can rent some cabins and/or rent RV spots so if you have a mixed camping family, so came come in their rvs/trailers and others can rent a cabin and y'all will still be next to each other. The park is on the smaller size but has a few hiking trails that are very nice. It also has a trail that goes around Singletary lake! The lake is awesome, great kayaking and fishing! The area is just away from White lake and Elizabethtown to be secluded and private but close enough to get what you need from the Walmart or Food Lion in town! There are also a decent number of "hometown" restaurants in town if you want to go out to eat! Georgio's is awesome!

Oak Island Campground
Decent owners
This is literally a grass lot across the bridge from oak island. While they met our needs (water, electric, sewer) the space they put us in was very tight. A little on the high side price wise. We were traveling with an f350 and a 36 ft bumper pull. You can’t fit both in the space allotted. Rules were not very clear (check in / check out) but since they weren’t clear and we were in need of either leaving early and hoping we can get on the road or letting our toddler take his mid day nap, they agreed and let us stay while he slept. Thankful they let us - even though no one came or went the longevity of our stay. All in all if you just want a place to park a camper, this will work. if you’re looking for a little more for your beach trip, don’t waste your time.
