Best Glamping near Myrtle Beach, SC

You are a sand dune away from the ocean, you pass over a causeway to get to the SP and Campground.  There are alligators on both sides of the causeway, multiple birds lurking and flying in and out along the causeway with viewing places.  The campground is very nice, most sites have NO sewer sites but they have water and electric.  There are a few sites with sewer sites and there is, of course, a sewer dump station.  The beach is gorgeous and LONG!!!  You are not far from Myrtle Beach, from Georgetown and about 2 hours away from Charleston SC.  Great place.

When we got to Myrtle Beach State Park.they were very friendly. We pitched a tent made campfire,took a shower ate and roasted marshmallows..great time

Great place for the kids. Playgrounds, summer concerts, dining etc is close by too. It buts up against Myrtle Beach Resort so our friends stayed there while we camped sometimes. A bar restaurant is on the resort property next door within walking distance. Less fees than Other places nearby

Away from a lot of the hustle of the Myrtle Beach area surrounded by marsh/inlet on one side and beach on other. Good bit of sites but spaced enough to not feel too crowded. Lots of fun exploring the ruins or nature or just catching some waves.

This KOA is very close to all the attractions Myrtle Beach has to offer (parasailing, boating, surfing, the boardwalk, zip line adventures, restaurants, dinner shows, you name it). It’s clean, has lots of activities for kids, great sites for RV’s and tents, tons of amenities, and is really lovely! The lots are well shaded so they are very comfortable in the hot months. Highly recommend!

Huntington Beach State Park is beautiful and basically being across the road from Brookgreen Gardens just adds to the beauty.  Have had the opportunity to camp here twice.  Not much privacy between sites but the park is nice.  The birding and wildlife are amazing, especially when you consider how close you are to the rambunctiousness of Myrtle Beach.  Needs to be on your list.

Just got back from another long weekend camping at Huntington Beach State Park in Murrel’s Inlet, SC. This is one of our favorite campgrounds. We were in Site 40 this weekend. 30 amp electric and water, no sewer. Sites are level, clean, spaced out and a short walk to the beach. Close to Myrtle Beach attractions if you interested, but quiet and relaxing. Many nature trails and tons of beach for walking.

Of all the campground choices in the southern tip of Myrtle Beach, this is one of the least family friendly. There are by far more parties that go on here than any other campground. The sites are ok, and while there are plenty of activities for the family, the main areas are not as nicely maintained than other area campgrounds.

Other private campgrounds right down the highway have more security presence and enforce family friendliness. We didn't experience that here during a couple of stays.

My husband and I love ocean lakes. We are from PA so this is quite different than the campgrounds we are used to, but when we go here we go for a week and make a vacation out of it. Beautiful campground with beach access, tons of amenities, and close to all the Myrtle Beach funness. Will continue to go back. We go in September after school starts back up so it's still very warm but not as crazy busy as it is during the summer.

Young or old, you and your family will stay occupied here but boy are these sites tight. We have stayed here twice, once in Fall and in Spring, on opposite sides of the grounds. Our first site was awful! Not level, roots everywhere, extremely poor placement of water and sewer, and very tight parking through trees. The second site was a lot better but muddy and far away from the main center, pool, etc.

Only a few miles away from the heart of Myrtle Beach and beautiful Murrells Inlet.

We arrived on a Wednesday night after the office had closed but there was a person available at the gate to check us in. Went right to our campsite and set up for the night, campsite was flat and located right near the jump pad which was great for us. The next few days were nice as well, we had a few hot days to get in the pool and sprinkler area which were all clean and easy to access at the campsite. We walked up to where the playground and Gaga pit were and they seemed nice enough but didn’t stay there long because our children were more interested in the jump pad anyway. It was easy to bike around the campsite and you can rent a golf cart as well. This campsite was close (walking distance) to the main strip (business 17) of Myrtle beach. A close drive to all the Myrtle beach attractions and the beach as well. We visited in April and were very lucky to have hot and sunny weather. The day we left was raining and very cold. Check out was fine, no issues. Compared to some of the other RV resorts in the area, the price was better but they had less amenities for children. I also prefer more dispersed sites and more privacy which I doubt is offered here but was good for a few days. Thank you, we’d return.

This place is wonderful if you camp in an RV. No tents or pop-ups allowed. 😢 The sites are huge and along the lake where I camped, they are angled so that you don’t really see much of your neighbors. Swim beach, pools, game room, laundry, fitness room, patio with table and grill, store, daily trash pickup at your sites, full hookup sites, paved path around the lake , great staff, storage for RV available. Pricey but worth it. Short drive to Myrtle Beach (but I stay away from there)

We had an amazing time at Huntington Beach. Campsites are large (although not all are shaded). The beach is pristine and gorgeous. I loved hearing the waves as I was falling asleep. Try to get a site on the outside of the loop where there are more trees, and more privacy.The bath houses were adequate and easily accessible. The ghost tour at Atalaya is a must! Huntington Beach is close to Brookgreen Gardens, which we’ve heard is beautiful, but didn’t end up going there. It’s also close to Myrtle Beach, restaurants, shopping, etc. we will absolutely return!

Sweet spot near Myrtle Beach, SC yet far enough away from the overwhelming commercial properties, yet so many things to do!Beautiful Marsh walk to view birds and other critters at low tide (bring tons of bug spray in the summer), beautiful flat beach (great for walks), visit Atalaya Castle, the historical home on the property, then cross the highway to Brookgreen Gardens (spectacular Christmas lights display is a MUST see during the holiday season) to enjoy the sculptures and multitudes of plants. They have plenty of other amenities including RV hookups, beach shower facilities, ADA friendly beach access, picnic tables, playground, nature center. Palm trees galore! What are you doing still reading this post? Get there now! Watch out for Sea Turtles!

I grew up in Myrtle Beach and camped here in the primitive camping on many occasions. I've done this with groups and also alone. It is absolutely spectacular. During the off-season you'll have the place to yourself. During the summer months, it's busy during the day but quiet at night.

Tips- Take a bike and go out riding late at night. The alligators will lay on the road at night and you can ride right by them. Once night falls, take your sleeping mat or cot down to the beach and sleep there. Be sure to visit the castle during the day.

I've also camped out in the normal tent sites with family. Still a pretty awesome spot to stay, but not as secluded as the primitive camping.

Beautiful state park with access to Atalaya castle and Brookegreen gardens, all in walking distance. Art festivals are held here too! Bike trails give you access to Pawleys Island, Litchfield, and the shops along the way. The brackish water bridge uses a natural gate to change with tides and will typically be packed with alligators. Take the 1/2 mile walk to the jetty and do some fishing. The further you get from the parking area the better the shark teeth and fishing get. The camp store has some minimal items but make sure to bring meat tenderizer for the occasional jelly fish sting. The trails to the beach from the last 2 hike in tent sights are great, if you go on a full moon you may find some turtles- NO Flashlights! Been here numerous times and it is always less crowded than Myrtle Beach State park. Make sure to check out the aquatic nature center too!

If you want to be near the happenings of downtown Myrtle Beach, this is the best campground to stay at. The first downside is that it is a block offset from the beach, although they run a free shuttle to the beach. Fortunately you can bring your own golf cart or rent one, and even rental ones are allowed outside of the campground within a 2 mile radius, making it very convenient to get around.

The second downside is that a majority of the sites use lava rock for the campsite pads. While that makes it easy for them to maintain, it is not beach friendly and barefoot friendly even with numerous carpets out.

They are conveniently located right across the street from Family Kingdom Amusement park so it is easy to take the family over there when you are looking for a way to spend your evening.

We have stayed here in a travel trailer, a Class C motor home, and a Class A motor home. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

This campground is spectacular. If you’re looking for a beach getaway, come here. Many of the sites are quite large (in comparison to the mega parks of myrtle beach) and shaded by trees. The campground does have wi-fi, however it’s not reliable throughout the park. By one bathhouse, they have put tables with outlets and I noticed a wifi router on the top of that bathhouse, so that much be a great place for reception. Speaking of bath houses, they were spectacular by the standards of state parks I’m used to. The paths to the beach are beautiful and rustic, though a little bit of a trek. The scenery is so lovely that I didn’t even mind, but I can see it getting old with little ones over the span of a week. The park itself offers many things to do, including trails, birdwatching, the historic Atalaya home (additional fee), and a playground. If that isn’t enough, across the street is Brookgreen Gardens, a stunning sculpture garden with a small zoo.

+ Super friendly and helpful team members - from office check in process to any questions I had about the campground, RV'ing, nearby places to go…these folks were about as kind and thoughtful as it gets!

+ Loved the location so close the beach and nearby grocery, gas, activities

+ The escort folks get 5 stars for being SUPER and patient at assisting new campers back up their rig

+ Trolley service to the beach :)

- The trolley service wasn't operating the day I wanted to go (though it is off-season and good help may be hard to find.) A text feature for the office to notify campers of any unforeseen schedule changes would be welcome.

Overall, I loved this spot, and that was largely due to the people who worked there. Very kind and did a thorough job of orienting me to their campground, amenities, and policies. I liked the rustic dirt roads throughout the campground, and the wifi was solid, so a nice mix of nature and modern amenities. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because they are actively adding features and sites, including glamping, and maybe even some sort of lazy river, so I want to leave room to do an updated 5* review when I go back!
