Best Tent Camping near Little River, SC

In the coastal town of Little River, tent campers have several good places to stay, including Myrtle Beach State Park. The park has specific areas for tents with decent space and quick beach access. Some sites give more privacy than others, so checking the campground map before you book helps. Most tent spots come with flat pads that make tent setup much easier on the sandy ground. You won't have to walk far to reach bathrooms from the tent camping areas. Cars can park close to most tent sites, which helps when you're carrying all your gear.
