"We'd never been to South Carolina before and had no idea what to expect. We were thoroughly smitten with the coast and the city of Myrtle Beach, but we really loved camping in the state park."
"All of them have electric hook ups, a fire pit, picnic bench and close by water spigots. Unfortunately some of the campsites are very small and close together."
"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."
"We just finished our stay at Ocean Lakes Family Campground in Myrtle Beach, SC. We enjoyed it and will return."

RangerMyrtel Beach State Park The Myrtle Beach State Park has a nice Campground tucked away behind the beach. Some sites are a little further away, but still close enough to get to the beach by foot. Bath Houses are typical State Park style. Most of the sites are at a 90 degree angle to the road with makes it difficult to get into with a larger RV.
ScoutWhen 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
TravelerLots and lots of trees. Need to drive very slowly to campsite. All sites sand based. Lots of trees on some of the camping sites one would need to navigate around. Our site was on a corner, level and easy to get into - 34 ft class A with toad. Lots of room to park our car. Sites have picnic table and fire ring. At first we were thinking “ we wouldn’t come back” as the park has a bit of a worn down, overgrown with trees, shrubbery look. However, we adjusted to that and decided it was a good stop.Lots and lots of dogs. We travel with a dog and lots of places, trails to walk. Off season so, our dog enjoyed a run on the beach everyday. It’s noisy during the day with planes flying over (nearby airport) &barking dogs. Especially over the weekend. Much quieter during the week. Fishing pier, two stores, easy walk from campground to beach. Full hookup sites. We would definitely come back.
TravelerSmall and quiet public campground. Large spaces with fire ring and picnic tables in most. I noticed that others complained of mosquitoes but none that I saw in the middle of February.
TravelerCarolina Beach in Wilmington is a great public beach but the campground isn’t great. Or at least a bit deceiving. It is not on or near the beach. You can’t see the beach and the trail there doesn’t go to the beach. But the worst was that they lock you in at 7:00 every night (in February ). The restrooms were clean and neat, and they had a trash bin by the gate.
ScoutI talked to Mr. Levy to inquire about camping on his property last Oct (2024) and was informed that the property was not open for camping because of needed repairs and improvements. No timeframe given as to when or if the site would reopen.
TravelerOverall it was a pleasant no frills heavy on the rules stay. The resort is the cleanest property we have ever stayed at. The restrooms/shower facilities (free)are beyond first class. If you are looking for a fire pit- look elsewhere. If you are looking for quiet- look elsewhere. The train traffic is constant and loud. If you are looking for quite don't camp here on Monday. Landscapers are here from 8(more like 730) to 5. World longest blow and go. Very difficult to hold a conversation at your site and it is even worse when the train passes. The office staff was pleasant but distant boarding on unfriendly. The town of Lake City was deep in history with several cool shops and restaurants.
GuideAlmost November and the beach is still nice. The campground has a ton of amenities and a warm indoor pool for the kids. We'll definitely be back during th summer.
GuideWe made our way here just before Hurricane Milton hit Florida and stayed a week right next to the river. Very busy during the day with local fishermen. There's a lot of garage spread out, we cleaned up our area the best we could. Close to a busy highway but it didn't bother us. The river is gorgeous and we spent a good amount of our time here kayaking.
