RV Parks In Conway, South Carolina

Bucksport Marina & RV Campground is a favorite, with about twenty pull-through full-hookup sites right on the Waccamaw River and Intracoastal Waterway, plus a marina and restaurant. Laurel Oaks Estate offers full-hookup sites in a country setting about 13 miles from Myrtle Beach, built for large motorhomes on 30 and 50 amp. Big Cypress Lake RV Park adds a quiet rural, lakeside option, and Sun Outdoors Myrtle Beach is a resort with cottages closer to the beach. For public land, Myrtle Beach State Park about 20 miles east has 138 full-hookup sites behind the dunes. Together they cover riverside, country, and beachfront camping.

Yes. Most of the private parks around Conway offer full hookups with electric, water, and sewer. Bucksport Marina & RV Campground provides full-hookup pull-through sites on 50/30-amp power, and Laurel Oaks Estate has full-hookup sites on 30 and 50 amp that are set up for the largest motorhomes, including water, sewer, and internet. Big Cypress Lake RV Park and Sun Outdoors Myrtle Beach also offer full-service sites. If you prefer a public campground, Myrtle Beach State Park has 138 full-hookup sites plus 140 standard sites with electric and water, so full-service camping is easy to find on either side.

Conway is a good value compared with oceanfront Myrtle Beach. Private full-hookup sites at parks like Bucksport Marina and Laurel Oaks Estate generally run about $40 to $60 a night, with peak summer and holiday weekends at the higher end. Resort-style properties such as Sun Outdoors Myrtle Beach sit above that range. The public Myrtle Beach State Park is typically the better deal for a beachfront site but carries a two-night minimum. Snowbirds staying a month or more should ask about monthly rates, which lower the effective nightly cost substantially through the winter season.

Yes. The closest public campground is Myrtle Beach State Park, roughly 20 miles east of Conway right on the Atlantic. It has 278 campsites total, including 138 full-hookup sites with electric, water, and sewer, plus 140 standard sites with electric and water, all set in a maritime forest behind the dunes. The park has a fishing pier, nature center, and beach access. Reservations go through the South Carolina State Parks system, either online at southcarolinaparks.com or by phone, with a two-night minimum, and summer sites sell out well in advance, so plan ahead.

For summer and holiday weekends, book as early as you can, especially for beachfront sites. Myrtle Beach State Park is one of the most in-demand campgrounds on the Grand Strand and its full-hookup sites often fill months out. The private parks around Conway also get busy in peak season but usually have more flexibility than the state park. Snowbirds planning winter monthly stays should reserve well ahead too, since Conway is a popular cold-weather base. In the spring and fall shoulder seasons you can often find sites on shorter notice, but weekends still book up.

Spring and fall are the sweet spot, with warm days, lower humidity, and thinner crowds than midsummer. Summer is hot, humid, and busy, with beach traffic and afternoon thunderstorms, though it remains prime beach season if you can handle the heat and crowds. Winter is mild and popular with snowbirds who settle in for monthly stays. The main thing to watch is Atlantic hurricane season from June through November, which can bring heavy rain and occasional evacuations to the coast, so keep an eye on the tropical forecast when you visit.

Yes, big rigs do well in this area. Bucksport Marina & RV Campground has full-hookup pull-through sites that suit larger coaches, and Laurel Oaks Estate advertises sites built for the largest motorhomes on 30 and 50 amp. Getting around is straightforward too, since US-501 is a wide four-lane route to the coast and the SC-22 Conway Bypass keeps big rigs out of the narrow historic downtown streets. At Myrtle Beach State Park many sites accommodate RVs up to 40 feet, though some are limited to 30, so check site details when you book a larger rig.

It depends on your priorities. Staying in Conway usually means lower rates, quieter surroundings, and a river-and-history setting, with the beach a 20-to-30-minute drive east on US-501. Staying oceanfront at Myrtle Beach puts you steps from the sand but at higher cost and in heavier crowds. Many RVers split the difference by basing in Conway and day-tripping to the beach, which is why the area is such a popular value pick. If walking straight onto the beach each morning is the goal, book a coastal park or Myrtle Beach State Park instead.

Yes. Bucksport Marina & RV Campground is the standout for waterfront camping, with pull-through full-hookup sites directly on the Waccamaw River and the Intracoastal Waterway, plus a marina and restaurant on site. It is a genuine river setting rather than a parking lot, which makes it popular with boaters and anglers. Big Cypress Lake RV Park offers a quieter lakeside setting in a rural area outside town. If you want an oceanfront rather than riverfront spot, Myrtle Beach State Park to the east puts you behind the dunes with beach and pier access.

Plenty. The Conway Riverwalk is a shaded boardwalk along the Waccamaw River past live oaks, shops, and restaurants in the historic downtown, and it is an easy stroll or bike ride. The Waccamaw itself is a classic blackwater river, calm and scenic, ideal for kayaking and fishing right from town. Downtown has local dining, small shops, and Southern history to explore at a slow pace. Farther afield, Brookgreen Gardens near Murrells Inlet, about 30 miles southeast, offers sculpture gardens and a low-country zoo that make a great day away from the Strand.

Not really. This is a developed coastal-plain area where the beaches, riverfront, and public lands are managed or private, so established free camping and boondocking are essentially nonexistent near Conway. Nearly all camping runs through private RV parks or the South Carolina State Parks reservation system, and in peak season you should count on booking ahead rather than showing up hoping for a first-come site. If you want the cheapest developed option, compare weekly and monthly rates at the private Conway parks, which are typically less than oceanfront properties.

The private full-hookup parks all offer on-site sewer and water at the sites, so if you stay at Bucksport Marina, Laurel Oaks Estate, Big Cypress Lake RV Park, or Sun Outdoors Myrtle Beach you can dump and fill without going anywhere. Myrtle Beach State Park has an RV pump-out and fresh water for campers as well. If you are traveling through or dry camping and need a standalone dump station, plan your stops in advance, since services cluster around the parks and the US-501 corridor. For a full rundown of dump locations, see our companion Conway RV dump stations guide.

Most do. The mild coastal climate means the private parks around Conway, along with Myrtle Beach State Park, generally operate year-round, which is a big part of why the area draws snowbirds each winter. Summer is the busy season with beach crowds, while winter brings a steadier flow of long-term and monthly guests escaping colder states. Spring and fall are quieter and comfortable. Because demand shifts by season rather than shutting down, the practical concern is booking ahead for peak periods rather than finding a park closed, though it never hurts to confirm hours directly.
