What you should know
Weather challenges: Several RV parks in the Georgetown area experience seasonal flooding. At Hideaway RV Park, Candy H. warns it's "prone to flooding in the winter season and you may need to move sites." Similarly, at Foster Creek, one visitor noted "several sites are out of commission and the grounds are in bad need of maintenance."
Varied campground quality: RV parks range from basic to resort-level. While many offer concrete pads, not all are level. Kyle D. at Briarcliffe RV Resort found "our site was concrete but in no way level, we had to use our leveling blocks to keep our auto leveling system from lifting wheels on our class c."
Beach proximity varies: Locations advertised as "near beach" may require driving. At Hideaway RV Park, Tammy K. notes it's "about 15 minutes to the beach" while Derek C. confirms it's "an awesome campground about 15 minutes from the beach."
Golf cart requirements: Many campgrounds accommodate golf carts, which can be essential for larger resorts. Dee A. at Barefoot RV Resort notes "you could drive a gulf cart to all these places" including nearby "grocery store, liquor store, restaurants, the beach, and barefoot landing."
Tips for camping with families
Look for dedicated kid areas: Sun Outdoors Myrtle Beach caters specifically to families with comprehensive recreation options. Sean N. says it's a "great place for the kids to run around" with "mini golf, water park, and bowling all really nice to have so close."
Consider pool features: Pools vary significantly between campgrounds. Michael D. at Hideaway RV Park appreciated that "the pool hasn't really deep! Staff was more then helpful when needed!" noting it "is handicap accessible" which can benefit family members with mobility considerations.
Check off-season activity availability: Seasonal operations affect family amenities. Ariel F. found North Myrtle Beach RV Resort "VERY quiet in the off season" and while "the pool area looks super nice, but it was a little to chilly for us to spend any time in the pool."
Look for organized activities: Barefoot RV Resort schedules regular entertainment. Dee A. explains "We tie dyed our shirts with their logo on them to remember our stay. We saw fire dancers who taught the audience to dance, not with fire."
Tips from RVers
Wi-Fi performance varies: Internet quality differs significantly between parks. At Hideaway RV Resort, Candy H. reports "Screaming WiFi suitable for streaming" while T N T at North Myrtle Beach RV Resort notes "Campground wifi is so-so. If your a remote worker on the road plan on your data setup to cover you through the day."
Check site spacing: Site proximity varies between parks. Derek C. at Hideaway RV Park noted "sites are very well kept and not stacked on top of each other," while Jason K. found "the spots are close together, but that's expected around here."
Consider alternatives to beach proximity: Hill's Landing & RV Park offers a different environment than coastal campgrounds. Located "1.5 hour northwest of Charleston," Stuart K. describes it as offering "complete respite from the bustling developed world" where "you'll find newly graded pull-through spots."
Reserve waterfront sites early: Waterfront sites book quickly throughout the region. At Bucksport Marina, Steven B. notes while there's "camping available," the "spots (with shower house) are limited," making advance planning essential for securing the best locations.
