Myrtle Beach: Your Fall Camping Destination!
As we welcome fall with open arms here in Myrtle Beach, it’s the perfect time to dust off those camping gear and get out into nature! With stunning beaches, beautiful lakes, lush forests, and unique marshes, the Grand Strand area offers so many great places to camp. Whether you’re a hardcore camper who loves to rough it in a tent or someone more inclined to travel in an RV or enjoy a cozy cabin, there’s something for everyone around here. How about we check out these five highly-rated campgrounds that are just a stone’s throw away?
Barefoot RV Resort
First up is the Barefoot RV Resort. Located just half a mile from the beach and a mile from the popular Barefoot Landing, this resort has it all! You and your family can splash around in the fun splash pad, float lazily down the lazy river, or take a dip in the heated pool. Kids will love the playground and even the arcade for some indoor fun!
All the RV sites come with full hook-ups, including water, sewer, and electric connections. Plus, you get complimentary Wi-Fi and cable TV—not too shabby, right? Each site also has a picnic table and a fire pit, perfect for those classic campfire nights. And if tent camping isn’t your thing, consider renting one of their furnished cottages, which come with comfy queen beds, a full kitchen, and a cozy porch!
Huntington Beach State Park
Next stop, Huntington Beach State Park. This gem is a nature lover’s paradise! It boasts breathtaking lowcountry views, hiking trails, and even the historic Atalaya Castle. You’ll find both RV and tent sites, with amenities like complimentary wifi and electricity to hook up your RV. Some sites even offer sewer connections!
And don’t forget to treat yourself with a sweet scoop or two from Spoonbills Ice Cream, located right near the South Beach Access. It’s a great way to cool off after exploring!
WillowTree RV Resort and Campground
On the north end of Horry County, don’t miss out on WillowTree RV Resort and Campground. It’s got some stunning lake views and loads of outdoor fun! With over 40 acres of lakes, you’ll have plenty of options to swim, fish, or try kayaking. And for the kids, check out the Splash Zone, an in-lake water park that’s open until the end of September!
The RV sites come with complimentary wifi, water, sewer, and electricity. Plus, each site has its own concrete patio, picnic table, and fire ring, making it the perfect cozy spot for evening s’mores! Need more space? They also offer one, two, or three-bedroom cottages!
Myrtle Beach State Park
Another must-visit is Myrtle Beach State Park. With over 300 acres of breathtaking maritime forest, it’s an awesome destination for hiking, biking, and even fishing. The park allows tent camping from Easter weekend to Labor Day weekend, but RV camping is available year-round!
All RV sites feature wifi, electricity, and water hookups. Many also have sewer connections, providing you with great convenience during your stay. Plus, there are restrooms and hot showers—what more could you want after a day exploring the great outdoors? You can even rent one of the state park’s six comfy cabins!
Hideaway RV Resort
Finally, check out the Hideaway RV Resort, which is nestled right on the Intracoastal Waterway. Talk about a great view! You will love the swimming pool, the dog park, and the nature trails. Fishing is great too—grab a kayak, paddle boat, or just cast your line from the piers. The amenities include laundry facilities, camp store, and complimentary wifi, so you can stay connected while soaking in nature!
So, what are you waiting for? Pack your bags, grab your loved ones, and head out for an unforgettable camping adventure this fall in Myrtle Beach! There’s no place quite like it—where the land meets the sea, and fun is always just around the corner!
