RV Parks In North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

For a luxury full-hookup stay, North Myrtle Beach RV Resort & Dry Dock Marina in Little River sits on the Intracoastal Waterway with large paved sites, a water slide, and a marina. Just south in Myrtle Beach, the famous oceanfront giants deliver classic beach camping: Ocean Lakes Family Campground spreads 850-plus RV sites over 310 oceanfront acres with a water park, Lakewood Camping Resort offers oceanfront and lakefront sites among over 1,000 spots, and Myrtle Beach Travel Park is a 125-acre oceanfront park. For a quieter, lower-cost option, Myrtle Beach State Park has water-and-electric sites under the pines right on the ocean.

Yes. The oceanfront resorts that define camping on the Grand Strand are built for RVers and offer full hookups with water, electric, and sewer at the site. North Myrtle Beach RV Resort & Dry Dock Marina, Ocean Lakes, Lakewood, and Myrtle Beach Travel Park all provide full-hookup sites, many on paved pads sized for big rigs. Myrtle Beach State Park, the public option, offers water-and-electric sites with a dump station rather than sewer at every pad, so plan to dump on your way out there. For full sewer hookups steps from the beach, the private oceanfront resorts are the way to go.

It varies sharply by season and location. In the summer peak, oceanfront full-hookup sites at the big resorts can run from about $70 to well over $100 a night, with premium beachfront sites at the top, while interior and lake-view sites at the same parks cost less. Rates fall substantially in spring, fall, and winter, with low monthly snowbird rates in the off-season. Myrtle Beach State Park offers oceanfront camping at South Carolina State Parks rates, well below the private resorts. For the best value, consider an interior resort site or the state park, and book early before the cheaper sites sell out.

For summer, book months ahead. The oceanfront resorts like Ocean Lakes and Lakewood are beloved institutions, and their peak-season and holiday weekends fill far in advance, with many families rebooking the same sites year to year, so reserve as early as you can for a summer beach trip. Myrtle Beach State Park also fills its prime-season weekends fast. In spring, fall, and winter you have far more flexibility and can often find a site on shorter notice. If your heart is set on an oceanfront site in July, do not wait, because they sell out well ahead.

April through June and September through October are the sweet spots, with warm weather, prime golf conditions, and smaller crowds and lower rates than the July peak. Fall is especially nice, since the ocean stays warm from summer while the crowds thin out. Summer is the classic beach season but it is hot, humid, packed, and pricey, with afternoon storms and hurricane risk building into fall. Winter is mild and quiet, a pleasant snowbird stop with low monthly rates, though too cool for swimming. If you can choose, target the shoulder seasons for the best balance of weather, crowds, and cost.

Yes, easily. The coast is dead flat with no grades or low clearances, and the oceanfront resorts are built around large rigs with full-hookup sites, many on paved pads. The one challenge is traffic, not terrain: US-17 through the beach strip crawls in season, so use SC-31, the Carolina Bays Parkway, and SC-22, the Conway Bypass, to move a big rig around the area and reach your campground. Once you are parked oceanfront, you rarely need to move the coach; use a tow vehicle for days out, since beach and attraction parking is tight for oversize vehicles.

Yes, and they are the signature draw of the Grand Strand. The big resorts are built right on the beach, with Ocean Lakes Family Campground, Lakewood Camping Resort, and Myrtle Beach Travel Park all offering oceanfront full-hookup sites where you can step from your rig onto the sand. North Myrtle Beach RV Resort & Dry Dock Marina sits on the Intracoastal Waterway rather than the ocean but offers luxury waterfront sites, and Myrtle Beach State Park has oceanfront sites under the pines. Oceanfront sites command premium prices and book up first, so reserve early if beachfront is your goal.

Not really. The Grand Strand is heavily developed for tourism, so there is no free or boondocking camping along the beach. Your most affordable option is Myrtle Beach State Park, which charges South Carolina State Parks rates, well below the private resorts, but it books up and is not free. Some sites may be available on shorter notice in the off-season, but in summer you should reserve. For a beach stay here, plan on either an oceanfront resort or the state park rather than counting on free or walk-up camping, and book ahead for the popular warm-season dates.

Plenty beyond the 60 miles of beach. North Myrtle Beach has Cherry Grove Pier and Barefoot Landing, a waterfront complex of shops, restaurants, and entertainment. The wider Grand Strand is one of the country's top golf destinations, with dozens of courses, plus the Myrtle Beach boardwalk, the SkyWheel, amusement parks, and live shows. South near Murrells Inlet, Brookgreen Gardens pairs world-class sculpture gardens with the wildlife-rich Huntington Beach State Park. The big resorts add their own water parks and pools. Between the beach, golf, dining, and family attractions, the area easily fills a week or a long snowbird stay.

There is no interstate directly to the beach, so most RVers come in on US-501, which connects west to I-95 near Florence about 70 miles inland, or travel the coast on US-17. The terrain is flat with no grades or low bridges, so the driving is easy; the challenge is summer beach traffic. Use SC-31, the Carolina Bays Parkway, and SC-22, the Conway Bypass, to bypass the congested US-17 strip and reach the campgrounds with a big rig. Coming from the north or south, plan your arrival outside peak weekend traffic and aim straight for your oceanfront resort.

Yes, it is a popular winter destination for snowbirds who want a milder East Coast option. Grand Strand winters are mild, with daytime highs in the 50s, and the big oceanfront resorts offer low monthly rates in the off-season, making a long beach stay affordable. The ocean is too cold for swimming, but the beaches are great for walking, the golf courses stay open and uncrowded, and the area has every service and amenity close at hand. Snowbirds who find Florida too far or too crowded often settle on the Grand Strand for a quieter, cost-effective winter by the Atlantic.

Yes, the major oceanfront resorts and Myrtle Beach State Park generally operate year-round, with summer the busy peak and winter a quiet snowbird season. The Grand Strand does not close for winter; the mild climate keeps camping comfortable, and many parks offer low off-season monthly rates. The main weather disruptions come from hurricane season between June and November, when coastal parks can close temporarily or issue evacuations for approaching storms. Check park status and the tropical forecast before a late-summer or fall trip, but otherwise you can find an open oceanfront or state park site here any month of the year.

Yes. The oceanfront resorts offer full hookups, so you can dump at your own site, which covers most RVers staying along the Strand. Myrtle Beach State Park has a dump station for campers using its water-and-electric sites, so plan to use it on your way out and top off fresh water at the same time. If you are staying somewhere without sewer or passing through, see our companion guide to RV dump stations in North Myrtle Beach linked from this page, which covers the public and pay options around the Grand Strand so you can empty your tanks before heading inland or up and down the coast.
