12. Camping
Ahh, the great outdoors.
Don’t let your daytrips to the beach and a little mini golf be the only time you spend outside while visiting the Grand Strand. Consider the joys and family bonding of camping at the many fine parks or Myrtle Beach campgrounds.
Decide for yourself whether you want to rough it in a tent and sleeping bag, or glamour-camp (glamping) in style in a luxury RV with satellite cable TV, a hot shower, a full kitchen, and a comfy queen sized bed.
Myrtle Beach State Park even offers cabins with heat and air conditioning. Whether you camp or glamp, you’ll be close to nature, nestled in among the maritime forests, and feel rejuvenated while saving a little money.
Besides our two state parks — Myrtle Beach State Park and Huntington Beach State Park — there are fabulous commercial campgrounds in Myrtle Beach, which blend resort amenities with a family and budget-friendly way to vacation in style, in the woods.
You must see for yourself all that Ocean Lakes has to offer. Besides 100s of RV sites next to the beach or in the cool shade of the woods, you’ll find a Recreation Building, Mini-golf, a Nature Center, a 12,000-sq ft grocery store, Laundromat, a non-denominational church, playground, swimming pool, and even bicycle rental. All this just scratches the surface. Park once and never leave until it’s time to go home!
It’s no wonder Lakewood was named one of the Top 5 RV Resorts in the nation by a leading RV magazine. Its 200-acres of oceanfront property features an oceanfront water park, lazy river, swimming pools, and so much more. RV sites, permanent villas, activities, events, and its own long-running country music revue, High Steppin’ Country beg the question; What more could you want in a Myrtle Beach vacation?”
You’ll have it all at Apache; oceanfront or forested campsites, plenty of activities for the kids, leisure living rentals with screened porches, and a campground with its own pier, which happens to be the longest wooden pier on the East Coast. If that’s not enough, how about seasonal live entertainment, fishing, and a restaurant, Croakers at the Pier, for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Getting back to nature” is the underlying theme at two wonderful State Parks along the Grand Strand; Myrtle Beach State Park and Huntington Beach State Park in Murrells Inlet. Very different from one another, both parks offer RV and primitive campsites, nature centers, and seasonal activities. Myrtle Beach State Park has a fishing pier, and Huntington Beach State Park is known for the Atalaya ruins, along with birding and wildlife viewing opportunities.
