    Willow Tree RV Resort

    Amazing vacation

    Best RV Resort we’ve been to so far. Large lots with nice long pull through, clean and quiet with a friendly staff. Amenities included nice swimming pool and hot tub. Volleyball net and basketball hoop on each end of pool. Shuffleboard, corn hole, sand volleyball. Game room had a pool table, ping pong table, air hockey. Books galore to borrow, DVDs if you have a player which we don’t, but we don’t camp to watch TV. Store had a puzzle you could spend time working on and a checkerboard with rocking chairs to just hang out in. The lake beach was closed for the season when we went but the inflatables looked like they would have been fun! Mile long paved path around the lake was great for walking or biking. Catch and release fishing too. Had a mix of annuals, short term campers and on the other side of the lake they had nice cabins and a small park model village. Exercise room and a nice clean laundry room. Bath house was 8 individual doors to full individual bathrooms of toilet sink and shower which were kept very clean. Cherry Grove beach was only 15 minutes or so away and there was a Food Lion less than 10 minutes for grocery shopping needs. Resort store had reasonable prices for ice and wood to burn in the fire pit. Only negatives which weren’t a big deal was nothing can be strapped to trees... aka no laundry line or hammock attached to the trees and no tents allowed. We will go back! Wish it was closer to home.

    North Myrtle Beach RV Resort and Dry Dock Marina

    Great Amenities - Quiet off season

    We camped here in our 34 travel trailer. We both work from home on hot spots and our Verizon connection was great.

    The place is VERY quiet in the off season. We didn’t have any neighbors in the surrounding spots.

    The pool area looks super nice, but it was a little to chilly for us to spend any time in the pool. The hot tub however was a great way to end our work days! There are plenty of showers and two laundry rooms. Both are very nice and clean. There’s a small arcade which was fun too.

    Check in was super easy. We were very late and they accommodated us. The staff is polite and friendly.

    The site is great. Concrete pad makes for super quick and easy leveling set up. There’s a fire pit and picnic table. The spots next to us are “premium” so they have a little pavilion over their table.

    The dog park is small and definitely geared towards smaller dogs. It has a cute agility type course set up. Our GSD felt a little to big for the dog park, but we made it work.

    Holden Beach RV Campground

    Everything we need

    This place has everything we need. Decent size sites, water, 30Amp, sewer, great WiFi (repeaters positioned at every other site, especially in the new section). There is also a playground, dog park, camp store, nearby grocery and other stores, etc. spent 5 nights, Sun - Thu night and really enjoyed it. Some monthly campers around who were friendly and helpful. We were a 5 minute drive to the beach and not far from other sites that we were looking to visit. The staff was also very nice and helpful. We were led to our site and the guide made sure we were OK and would have stayed had we needed help. Will do this again when visiting that area.

    Here We Go to Daddy Joe’s

    We were delighted to find beautiful scenery, friendly staff and a comfortable campsite that included a picnic table and fire pit. Daddy Joe’s is an awesome place to bring the kiddos. A splash park, mini golf, swimming pools and the park has activities throughout the year. It’s dog friendly with two dog parks and plenty of places to walk and run!

    Hideaway RV Park

    Great RV resort.

    Great experience and highly recommend. Check in was easy, the sites are very clean and for us, the dog park with astro turf was the greatest along with the wifi being excellent.


Guide to Cherry Grove Beach

Pet friendly camping options near Cherry Grove Beach offer facilities for dogs of all sizes, from agility equipment to walking trails. Water-oriented campgrounds predominate the area, with several locations featuring direct Intracoastal Waterway access or beach proximity. Indoor and outdoor pool complexes at most resorts help pets and owners cope with summer temperatures that typically reach 85-95°F during peak season. The coastal location means sites are primarily level with concrete pads, though spacing between sites varies considerably between resorts.

What to do

Beach access with pets: Pirateland Family Camping Resort offers beach access with pet restrictions on time and leash requirements. "Right on the beach with lots of amenities. Private pier also," notes Kevin S., making it a central hub for pet owners who want water access without driving.

Intracoastal walks: North Myrtle Beach RV Resort and Dry Dock Marina features a boardwalk along the water. "There is a beautiful boardwalk along the Intercoastal Waterway where you can watch the boats pass by," says Zach H., perfect for daily pet walks with scenery.

Dog park activities: Smaller dogs enjoy the agility course at Barefoot RV Resort. "The dog park is small and definitely geared towards smaller dogs. It has a cute agility type course set up," explains Ariel F., providing dogs with mental stimulation beyond regular walks.

Water recreation with dogs: The beach areas vary in pet policies, but most campgrounds offer pet-friendly areas near water. "We went during the off season so our dog enjoyed a run on the beach everyday," reports Liz M., highlighting the benefit of camping outside peak months for more pet freedom.

What campers like

Spacious pet areas: Willow Tree RV Resort offers larger sites for families with pets. "Have plenty of space between you and your neighbors. Roughly 2-3 trailer widths between on both sides," notes Tucker M., allowing pets more room to relax outside.

Pet-friendly amenities: The additional features for pets stand out to many campers. "The puppy beach was not [closed]," reports Tucker M., showing dedicated pet swimming areas at some resorts.

Clean facilities: Myrtle Beach Travel Park maintains their grounds for pet owners. "The facility was full, which I think can handle 1800+ RV's. But for families this is a perfect park especially being so close to the beach," says Cynthia D., who adds, "for this size park I would have liked more areas to be able to walk the dog on grass."

Multiple walking paths: Variety in walking routes helps pets stay engaged. "Plenty of things to walk," mentions Ariel F. about North Myrtle Beach RV Resort, giving pet owners options for different scenery each day.

What you should know

Site spacing concerns: Most pet-friendly campgrounds have tight spacing between sites. At Ocean Lakes Family Campground, "They squish the RVs and trailers in like sardines. There is enough room for your camper but your neighbors are right next to you," cautions Samantha O.

Beach pet restrictions: Timing matters for beach access with dogs. "Remember, no tents on the beach and dogs on the beach during limited hours only," advises Susan B., highlighting important limitations.

Noise levels affect pets: The busier campgrounds can overwhelm some animals. "This place is noisy. Noise times are 7am-11pm," notes Samantha O. about Ocean Lakes, something to consider for pets sensitive to sounds.

Pet cleanup enforcement: Rules are strictly maintained at most campgrounds. "They do activities for families. When we were they we went to the America bingo," says Samantha O., who also mentions that pet waste policies are enforced throughout common areas.

Tips for camping with families

Pet-friendly pools: Sun Outdoors Myrtle Beach offers multiple water features for families with pets. "There are 4 pools and a water park for the kids," says Deb P., providing alternatives when beaches have pet restrictions.

Pet supervision requirements: Most campgrounds require pets to be supervised at all times. "The campground did an excellent job adding activities for kids and adults," reports Thomas C. about Willow Tree RV Resort, but pets need monitoring during these events.

Off-peak advantages: Visiting during less busy times improves the pet experience. "We went off season - October 2019 - and while the park still had a lot of people there were plenty of sites empty," shares Becky V., allowing more space for pets to relax.

Pet transportation: Golf carts help with pet mobility at larger resorts. "Rent a golf cart and ride around. Make sure to decorate it because there is a cart parade every night from 9-11," suggests Blake K. at Apache Family Campground, making it easier to transport pets across large properties.

Tips from RVers

RV site selection for pets: Myrtle Beach KOA offers wooded areas better suited for dogs. "We enjoyed our wooded pull-thru spot," says Lee L., providing more shade and privacy for pets.

Weather considerations: Summer heat requires planning for pet comfort. "We travel with a dog and lots of places, trails to walk," mentions Liz M., adding that finding shaded areas is important during hot months.

Pet-friendly cabins: For RVers traveling with non-RV family, pet-friendly cabin options exist. "My grandparents stayed in one of the cabins and these things are off the hook!" explains Joe G. about Sun Outdoors Myrtle Beach, offering alternatives when everyone can't fit in one RV.

Pet waste stations: Most campgrounds provide dedicated areas. "For this size park I would have liked more areas to be able to walk the dog on grass," notes Cynthia D., highlighting the importance of checking for sufficient pet relief areas before booking.
