Huntington Beach State Park encompasses 2,500 acres along South Carolina's coast, with this established campground serving as the primary overnight accommodation within the park boundaries. Managed by the South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism, the facility operates year-round with sites ranging from $0-$95 per night.
The campground divides into two distinct areas that create different camping experiences. The north loop provides more spacious sites with grass and mature trees, while the south section features concrete pads with full hookups but less vegetation. "Sites on the outside of the loop have more privacy," notes Lee D., with sites 1-33 backed by trees. Only six tent sites exist in this RV-friendly park, positioned close together on raised pads designed for flood protection.
Multiple beach access trails wind through maritime forest, connecting campers to three miles of undeveloped coastline. The beach stretches as part of a 60-mile continuous strand, with white sand and minimal crowds compared to nearby commercial areas. Wildlife viewing opportunities abound along the causeway, where alligators cross at low tide and wading birds feed in tidal pools. The park includes Atalaya Castle ruins, nature trails, and a playground, while Brookgreen Gardens sits directly across Highway 17.
Bath houses feature recently updated tile and fixtures, with clean restrooms and showers throughout both camping areas. Electric and water hookups serve most sites, with sewer connections available in the south section. WiFi exists but proves unreliable across much of the park, with stronger signals near specific bath houses. Food storage lockers help prevent raccoon encounters, which reviewers report as common for campers who don't secure items properly.
For those seeking alternatives, campers can explore sites around Murrells Inlet for additional coastal options.
