Best Campgrounds near Cherry Grove Beach, SC

633 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.
