One of the best!

Most sites are spacious, level and well maintained. Very close to beach access and the combination of paved trails and opportunity to see wildlife set this start park apart from many others.

Horrible wifi!

If you are needing to work while at Huntington Beach State Park - go somewhere else! The wifi is the worst I’ve ever encountered.  We usually stay on the south side.  We use a Mifi and still terrible!  The sad thing is a tower is less than a mile away! They seriously need to upgrade their equipment!  We live in a world that people need consistent internet service to continue to work!  This will be the reason we won’t go back.

Plus the pricing tripled from 60.00 a night to over 100.00 a night in 2023.  The wifi is the most annoying thing for me!

Excellent Experience

We had a great experience at Huntington Beach State Park. We stayed in the south campground with full hookups and it was a game changer! No honey pot trips to the dump station made for an extraordinary camping trip at the beach! Beautiful campground with a short easy walk to the beach. We will definitely return.

Awesome nature, spacious sites (North Campground)

This campground lies within a State Park and comes with the usual rules for such facilities. It’s very clean, has multiple well-kept bathhouses close to all sites, and it offers great level sites with lots of privacy, all very close to the beautiful Huntington Beach.

Vacation Vibe

Well, even though I was there in the middle of December, I felt like I was on summer vacation at this state park. The campground is quite beautiful, with the campsites pretty well immersed in vegetation. There's a lot of diversity among sites, so I'm sure people have favorites. The atmosphere is festive but relaxed, with lots of families and groups of friends. I didn't even get to find half the cool places to explore, but there are marsh boardwalks, sandy beaches with sea turtles, a full-on gift shop, a nature center with aquariums and presentations, and a crazy estate that you can tour. It also happens to be quite expensive to camp there, so check the rates. Word to the wise - apparently it is so popular in the summertime that you need to make reservations a year in advance.

My New Favorite Campground

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.

Beautiful getaway!

Absolutely stunning park! The amount of bird/wildlife watching here is unbelievable! The north rv/tent loop is very spacious with an abundance of grass and trees, all sites have power & water but only a few dozen with sewer. The south rv straight has full hook ups and concrete pads but are not as spacious as the north loop. Bath houses are clean and have been recently updated with fresh tile and fixtures. The beach itself is large and covered with pristine white sand, all beach access paths are well maintained and pretty in there own right. Highly recommend a visit to this park!!! Super convenient to everything but peacefully tucked away for your enjoyment. 🌅

Brachytherapy, buggy, shade & Nature!

We’ve camped here for about 2 weeks annually since 2015. It’s fairly well run, has decent restrooms, and a secluded tent area. All RV sites have 30-50 amp & water. The South Campground was added a few years back & has full hook-ups just behind the beach dunes. There’s lots to do in the area. Campsite prices have skyrocketed in the last few years.

Trails, gators, and the Atlantic

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!

Absolutely Love this place!

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!

Beach and nice hiking trail

We stayed here for 3 nights. Our site, 19, backed to picnic shelter so avoid it. One large group had a party in there one night and pick up trucks were literally in our fire ring area. But there are great hiking trails from the campground that go near tidal ponds and good birding. We were here in mid March. Well spaced sites. Lots of noisy dogs. I might add but that seems the case everywhere now. Not sure why dog owners feel entitled to have barking dogs all day but that is why I bring ear plugs. Beach access is great, can walk for a mile or two with no condos!

Absolutely beautiful park. Well maintained facilities and lots to do. Within easy walking distance were hiking trails, Atalayah'castle'(great tour), nature center and estuary walk, gift shop/ visitors center, lots of hiking trails, and the beach! We walked everywhere but bikes would be awesome. We were in site 113 on the back loop- those sites(back loop) were super private and very well spaced out for privacy- the most private sites I've ever seen at a state park. Wifi was good near the bathrooms, but not at our site, so if you need wifi go towards the bathrooms. We camped at Huntington Beach State Park in a Travel Trailer.

We loved it here and will return!

Luckily this campsite is the closest one to where my mother in law lives bc this is a wonderful one! Plenty to walk around and see, many campsites are dispersed. There is a large playground for children, ample facilities and privacy (depending on where you choose), quick walk to the beach and so much nature. Loved, loved, loved!!!! You could bird watch, go for a run, a hike or go to the beach. The people were super nice and the check in process was seamless. They were following social distancing guidelines during covid. We stayed in February and even though it was cold and rainy we had a blast. We did have one beautiful day. We stayed on a partial hook up site and I would definitely do that again. The dump station was clean and easy to use. The garbage area was organized and clean and close enough to the campsite without being too close to draw animals 100% gem. Will return!!! Great with kids or without, it was quiet and I highly recommend.
