RV Rental Myrtle Beach State Park, SC

The number-one attraction in Myrtle Beach State Park is, without a doubt, the beach itself. Park visitors can enjoy easy access to a long and wide stretch of sand and the crashing waves of the Atlantic Ocean. If you're the type of person who enjoys long walks on the beach, either searching for seashells or just raising your heart rate, you'll feel right at home here. Swimming is also permitted anywhere in the ocean if you need to cool off, but you do so at your own risk.

While you're down on the beach enjoying the feeling of sand between your toes, you'll probably notice that this beach is also a popular fishing spot. You can cast a line in the water directly from the sand, but most anglers congregate on the fishing pier that juts out into the ocean more or less in the center of the park. This is a great spot to catch flounder, whiting, king mackerel, and more, and it's considered one of the best surf fishing spots in South Carolina. (Of course, if you don't have any luck catching your dinner, you can always treat yourself to an ice cream from the pier store.)

In the unlikely event that you grow bored of spending time on the beach, you can always check out some of the other natural scenery on offer in this 312-acre park. The easiest way to do this is to take a stroll along the Sculptured Oak Nature Trail, which offers a gentle, half-mile walk through the maritime forest. Grab a birding list from the Nature Center before you head out, and watch out for the myriad feathered species that call the park home.

If you're looking for a Myrtle Beach RV campground, all your camping needs are taken care of right here in the state park. Located just 300 yards from the beach, the campground offers a scenic and well-shaded spot to park your rig for a night or three.

There are 278 sites in total, and 138 of them offer full hookups. The remaining 140 sites offer electricity and water hookups, while laundry facilities and a dump station are also provided.

Complimentary Wi-Fi is available throughout the campground, while restrooms and hot showers are easily accessible from all sites. However, when reserving your spot, please note that only some sites can accommodate RVs up to 40 feet in length, and others have a maximum vehicle length of 30 feet.

Leashed pets are welcome in the Myrtle Beach State Park campground, but please note that they're not allowed on the beach from 10 AM to 5 PM from May 1 to Labor Day.

You'll also notice some aircraft noise from nearby Myrtle Beach International Airport, so it's worth mentioning that this isn't the ideal campground for travelers seeking peace and quiet.

Whether you're planning an action-packed getaway full of fun outdoor activities or a lazy vacation by the beach, RV camping in Myrtle Beach State Park offers the best of both worlds. It's a pretty park in a wonderful coastal location, so make sure you allow plenty of time to experience everything it has to offer. And because you're right at the heart of the Grand Strand, all the shopping, restaurants, and other amenities you could ever need are within easy reach.

If you're looking for something else to do in the area, you might want to explore the 30,000-acre Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge, or set up camp for a few nights in nearby Huntington Beach State Park, one of the state's premier destinations for wildlife photographers.

If you'd prefer to find an RV park in a major city, both Wilmington and Charleston are less than two hours away. Learn more about Wilmington's Civil War history at Fort Fisher State Historic Site, the largest Civil War fort in the South. History buffs setting their sights on Charleston will want to visit Magnolia Plantation, one of the South's oldest rice plantations complete with colorful gardens and a zoo.

If this sounds like the ideal RV getaway, rent a camper in Myrtle Beach and get ready for endless fun, sun, and sand.
