Best Campgrounds near Cherry Grove Beach, SC

638 Reviews

Several good camping spots near Cherry Grove Beach give South Carolina visitors a chance to sleep close to the ocean. Myrtle Beach State Park Campground has sites that put you just a short walk from the water. Ocean Lakes Family Campground is big with lots of hookups and things to do right in the campground itself. You'll want to book months ahead for summer stays since these places fill up fast, especially on weekends and holidays. Keep food locked up at night since raccoons are common around the campsites. Both campgrounds have good fishing spots, swimming areas, and trails nearby. If you don't like crowds, try coming in April-May or September-October when there are fewer people but the weather is still nice. Some campers mention hearing planes from the local airport and weekend traffic noise. You won't need to pack all your supplies - grocery stores and camping shops are just a few minutes' drive from either campground. The Cherry Grove area works well for both tent and RV camping, though the oceanfront spots cost more.

    CarrollWoods RV Park at Grapefull Sisters Vineyard

    Lovely campground

    We stayed here on Labor Day weekend 2025. The staff I spoke with were friendly and helpful. The grounds before you enter the campground area are beautiful and well kept. The campground itself has many spacious, full hook up sites with packed gravel foundation. There’s no grass due to the mature pine trees but the community areas have lush lawn and beautiful flowers especially around the pond. The bathhouse and laundry were sufficient. They had a nice pool, playground, volley ball court and horseshoe pits. They have a large dog park. We look forward to inviting some friends to join us for group camping here sometime soon. Their nightly rates were very reasonable.

    Great campground

    Close to the beach without being on the beach. Sites are well maintained, with only a few having sewer hook ups. Awesome state park.

    Hit-or-miss camping expeirence

    Short takes:

    • Better to camp here during the cooler weather

    • If you don’t have a yearly beach- access pass, it’s expensive

    • Very crowded during warm weather

    • Make sure to air-down.

    • Don’t forget bug spray 

    Camping here can be very hit-or-miss, depending on the time of year. I would recommend only during the cooler months. Feb-March, Sept-Nov. That’s about the only time you can hope to avoid a chaotic, party scene. 

    I camped here in March and had a great time. Daytime beachgoers were mainly fishing, walking their dogs, shelling, etc. There were half a dozen other campers, everyone was friendly and quiet. 

    My trip in late April didn’t go as well. The first morning I awoke to the sound of a dozen children from the site next to me playing in the surf, shrieking and screaming at 5:30 am. Saturday the beach was packed with day-trippers with a line of trucks parked at the crest of the beach from one end to the other. Constant vehicle traffic up and down the beach. Lots of young kids running around, not paying attention to their surroundings, people walking on the dunes. Many vehicles got stuck in the sand because they didn’t air down. Lots of competing, loud music. 

    The next night, there was a family of 20+ people in the next site who warned us they were a loud group. At that point, we packed up and left. I wasn’t expecting that kind of scene until Memorial Day. 

    Erosion continues to eat away at the beach and it probably won’t be long before camping is prohibited due to lack of room. The beach used to be much wider.

    Good, clean, quiet campground

    The campground is well located if you want to visit Ocean Isle, Sunset, or Calabash. It’s clean and reasonably well maintained.
