Myrtle Beach RV camping options extend beyond oceanfront sites to include locations along the Intracoastal Waterway and inland lakes within a 25-mile radius. During summer months, temperatures typically range from 70-90°F with high humidity levels. Winter camping remains popular with temperatures averaging 40-60°F, making it a year-round destination with varying seasonal crowds and reservation requirements.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: North Myrtle Beach RV Resort provides access to the Intracoastal Waterway where guests can watch boat traffic and fish from designated areas. "You are right on the Intercoastal waterway and can watch the boats travel up and down. They also have boats and golf carts for rent," notes one visitor to North Myrtle Beach RV Resort.
Waterfront recreation: Many parks offer water-based activities beyond beach access. At Willow Tree RV Resort, campers enjoy multiple water features. "Mile long paved path around the lake was great for walking or biking. Catch and release fishing too," mentions a guest at Willow Tree RV Resort, adding that "the lake beach was closed for the season when we went but the inflatables looked like they would have been fun!"
Vineyard visits: For camping with a unique twist, some RV parks offer wine tasting opportunities. "Beautiful, family owned campground... Winery with taste testing hours and wine to purchase," explains a visitor to CarrollWoods RV Park. Another camper recommends, "If you visit, you must get one of their wine floats."
What campers like
Waterway views: Several Myrtle Beach area campgrounds take advantage of natural waterways. "Right on the Intercoastal waterway! Great spaces with plenty of room. Full hookups, very clean and well kept," writes a camper about Hideaway RV Park. The location allows visitors to observe maritime traffic while enjoying their campsite.
Pool complexes: Multiple RV parks feature elaborate swimming facilities beyond basic pools. "They have a large pool with massive water slide and a nearby tiki bar," notes one camper about North Myrtle Beach RV Resort. Similarly, Sun Outdoors Myrtle Beach offers extensive water facilities: "There are 4 pools and a water park for the kids. During the summer weekends they provide pool service for drinks which is really nice."
Dog amenities: Pet-friendly facilities are important for many RV travelers. "It has one of the best dog parks that I have ever been to. It is very spacious, fully shaded by lots of trees and even has a few man-made hills for the pooches to climb," reports a CarrollWoods visitor. Hideaway RV Park provides similar pet accommodations with "the dog park with astro turf was the greatest" according to one reviewer.
What you should know
Beach access options: While most parks aren't directly on the beach, many offer alternative access. "The resort also has a beach house directly on the beach with shuttle service," mentions a camper about Sun Outdoors Myrtle Beach, providing a convenient way to reach the ocean without driving and parking.
Site layout variations: Campgrounds differ significantly in spacing and privacy. "The sites are close together, but that's expected around here," notes one Hideaway RV Park visitor, while another mentions sites being "not stacked on top of each other." At Briarcliffe RV Resort, "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."
Seasonal flooding concerns: Low-lying areas can experience periodic flooding issues. "It's prone to flooding in the winter season and you may need to move sites," cautions a camper about Hideaway RV Park, an important consideration for extended stays during rainy periods.
Tips for camping with families
Kids' activities: Many parks provide extensive recreation options beyond swimming. "This place is wonderful...Great family fun in the lake on inflatables. Family events, ice cream social, hot dog sales, dance party," shares a Willow Tree RV Resort visitor. Another camper notes they "had an arts a crafts event" and "trick or treating was awesome for the kids."
Entertainment facilities: Resort-style amenities keep families busy during non-beach days. "It has indoor pools, outdoor pools, waterslide, putt putt, bowling alley, and an arcade," reports a visitor to Briarcliffe RV Resort. Another park offers "Mini golf, water park, and bowling are all really nice to have so close."
Family safety considerations: Gated access provides peace of mind for parents. "We felt very safe there with a toddler as it is gated access," shares a Briarcliffe visitor. Parents also appreciate "large pool with a great slide and lots of lounge chairs" where children can play within sight.
Tips from RVers
Connectivity considerations: Internet access varies widely between parks. "We both work from home on hot spots and our Verizon connection was great," notes a camper at North Myrtle Beach RV Resort. Another visitor mentioned "Internet, cable, and cell phone service all good," while some parks have challenges: "I probably could access their WiFi no more than for 3 times in all the time I was there and would last no more than 10 minutes."
Site surface differences: RV sites feature various surfaces affecting setup and comfort. "All concrete sites with 20, 30, and 50 amp service," reports a North Myrtle Beach RV Resort camper, while another park has "spacious, full hook up sites with packed gravel foundation." Some parks maintain sites meticulously: "As soon as a camper pulls out, they pressure wash every site as needed. Hand clean the power boxes and sanitize the tables."
