Myrtle Beach State Park Visit: October 1 through 7, 2023 The Bad: The park is relatively easy to get to. Depending on your route, however, you may be traveling through a very depressed area. Once near the park you will be bombarded with all the glitz of a the usual tourist location, including bright digital billboards that blind you as you drive by. Unfortunately, (though some might like it), our stay coincided with bike week. The constant roar of Harley bikes ruined the sounds of nature. The park is located adjacent to an airport. The aircraft often approach the runway so low over the trees that it will shake the windows of your camper (or was that the motorcycles?) Although most everyone leased their dogs, I saw no one picking up after them and the evidence was easily found. Some of the roads through the park, especially around sites in the 300s, are quite narrow. The Good: Even with all the critical comments above, this is the place to camp in Myrtle Beach. The sites are clean and adequately spread apart with some tree buffer between sites. Many sites have full hookups. The staff is helpful and friendly and always seen working through the park. The camp store is larger than most with many items needed for camping. If you need something more, you have Wal-Mart, Food Lion or even Costco just outside the gate. The park beach is amazing. Large, wide and access to two long piers. Although landing aircraft may cause occasional noise, it can be fun to watch them fly low overhead from the beach. Conclusion: The park is definitely a place I would visit again. Unfortunately, however, Myrtle Beach is not. The area trashy touristy atmosphere is not one that attracts me. Unless I was prepared to rely on only the park facilities and never leave the gates, I would not consider Myrtle Beach as a vacation destination.

One of my favorite campgrounds! Large with small but adequate sites, walk to dog friendly beach! Lots of bath houses - heated with hot showers. Has laundry room, camp store and giftshop with ice cream at the pier. Watch out for snakes in the leaf litter ugh! Must be packed in the summer! Stayed in March 2022 in 18' campervan

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. Eveything was clean, manicured, raked, and private. You can see your neighbor's camper, but usually behind some trees. We now understand the words "Carolina pines" better. They are tall, straight as an arrow, and beautiful. There are millions of them in this park. Our site was level with easy access. It was long enough for our truck and fifth wheel. It was surprising how secluded everything was, yet the city is really closeby. People were friendly. There was a bunch of kids riding bikes, having fun. Lots of parents enjoying cooking out with friends. The park was super quiet at night though. All of the staff seemed cheerful and like they enjoy their jobs. Every camper seemed good about picking up after their dogs, which was really nice. We haven't found that everywhere. The only negative I would give this place is that arrival is a bit confusing, especially with a big rig. It wasn't real clear how far back in the woods we were going to go before we came upon the check-in building. Then, it wasn't real clear that we needed to go around the circle of the little parking lot in order to come up alongside the check-in building. Luckily, we did it right, but there needs to be more signage out there spelling it out in detail along the way. When you're pulling a 40'+ fifth wheel with a big truck, you can't just turn around anywhere. We were afraid we were going the wrong way a couple of times. That can be anxiety-inducing.

We like state parks over private RV parks and tried this park for our 2nd visit to the area. The park is beautiful. Very busy and campground almost full in early April.. We were is site 242 with 30AMP and water. Site was large, but we had a neighbor that had a small pop up with 4 -5 hammocks and a screen porch who basically spread out too far. The sites seem a bit mishmash and the RV’s and tenters should be in different sections. Did not use the bathrooms so no comment. I should also mention the international airport with jet planes coming and going. Not a real busy airport but nonetheless still loud. Plus all the barking dogs…. I will not say I would not go back because it’s very nice piece of green space, but I think we would have been happier at a not so busy time and a neighbor who was a little more considerate. Can’t blame any of that on the state park system.

We stayed in Nov. I prefer the outer loop sites. There is more spacing in between spots. A nice short walk to the beach. Watch out for acorns! They come crashing down on the rig and truck. They offered snow bird deals and wouldn’t mind doing one winter.

We stayed in site 63 which was secluded. Wooded on 2 sides and short walk to beach and camp store The other sites looked very tight together which I do not care for as we stay at our site during our whole visit so prefer the state parks that usually have m more distance. One thing to be wary of walking dog to beach be careful letting dog walk in brush. Our dog stepped off path and ended up with a spur in paw. Also watch out for horse crap

What’s not to live about a state park on the beach with full hookups and laundry? The campground is not actually on the beach, but a very short walk. The beach is beautiful and quiet this time of year. Amazing sunrise! The spots seem hit and miss. We were super happy with our setup and location (239, loop 5), but we did have to use blocks to get level. The space was fairly private and spacious. The laundry room was an added bonus. We stayed away from town, but a great grocery store right across the street. After seeing the mega RV resorts nearby, we were super happy with our choice!

This is a solid four and a half star, only lost the other half star because of noise with sight seeing helicopters and traffic. To be fair we were right next to the Dump station. Also the Wifi is very spotty but most state parks dont even offer Wifi. This is easy walking distance to the beach and the beach is beautiful. Lots of eating and entertainment close by. The price was right at $60 a night full hookups 30amp. Much cheaper than anything around. Well kept and very friendly hosts. The sight we stayed in was moderate in size but some are tight. We will definitely stay again.

Really enjoyed our late December- January stay at this beautiful park. Long undeveloped beach. Fantastic for walking. Close to commercial areas. Beautiful entrance drive winds through canopy of trees. Walking trails. Salt marsh board walk. Hard to get a bad site in this wooded park. Only complaint is 3 out of the 5 dryers at laundry were out of order entire stay . Stayed 9 nights. Hope to return.

Staff is really friendly. Very close to the beach which has a large park and boardwalk. The roads in the park are narrow but the spaces are regular width. I recommend a site on the back loop which is the most private. Loop 3 has a large bath house which puts out a lot of light and sound so don’t park near that. Overall i recommend this park.
