1st time camping here and it was wonderful. Staff is extremely attentive and nice. Very laid back and unstressful which is really what your looking for on a weekend getaway to recharge from the day to day. The glamping tent we booked was extremely clean and comfortable overlooking the river making it very tranquil. If you bring children, the site has a myriad of events and activities to keep them busy and having fun. The whole facility is extremely well kept and a lot of thought and effort was put in to create the appropriate holiday theme of the season (we were there late Oct and it looked fabulous). We are definitely going to book another stay there especially with all the warm weather activities they have like kayaking and tubing. We might consider one of thier more excluded camping sites that they offer. Very much recommend checking it out whether old or young.

2 nights at Boho Hideaway
This was a great experience! The yurt was awesome and the hosts had everything you would need to enjoy yourself. It rained for the 2 days we were there, but the yurt stood strong with no leaks. I loved listening to the rain on the tent at night. The short walk to separate cottage had a fully equipped kitchenette, washer/dryer, and the bathroom was huge with a fantastic waterfall shower head. We had a small issue with the washer that just a phone call to the hosts was made, and they were there in minutes to fix it. It is located within 5 miles to the beach and was just a short drive to great waterfront restaurants! We will definitely be back! I highly recommend The Boho Hideaway!

Weekend Trip to Laurel Oaks Estate
We stayed at little bear and had a fantastic time! The bed was very comfortable and the tent had everything you could need to cook, eat, and even had an AC unit! Very helpful in the July heat. We paddled around on the pond and enjoyed making s'mores on the campfire. Krystl met with us and allowed us to pet and feed the horses which were beautiful. Overall an amazing glamping experience. Would definitely recommend!

Weekend Trip to Laurel Oaks Estate
We loved staying in the Little Bear!
The amenities this space has to offer are endless - lovely outdoor shower with provided towels, covered porch, fire pit and chairs, very clean portapotty, farm fresh eggs (that were delicious!), a grill and all the kitchen wear needed to cook, a mini fridge, flashlights if you’ve forgotten yours, extra blankets, a space heater/cooling unit, indoor and outdoor games, and usb ports connected to the bed for electronics charging.
Each site is spaced out enough that you only see people when they are driving to/from their site. It feels very secluded and private.
The nature is beautiful; with the pond, trails, and all of the animal sounds!
The estate is close enough to the beach that we were able to spend the day at Litchfield Beach and stop at Broadway on the Beach on the way back.
We loved it and hope to bring our friends to Laurel Oak’s Estate for a group trip soon!

Had such a great time at Little Bear! It was my first time glamping and I honestly loved it. The spot is super peaceful with beautiful views and a lake nearby. My partner and I went for morning jogs and even spotted some animals from the nearby farm. The tent had everything we needed, and the bed and linens were super cozy. We grabbed eggs and firewood from them too, which made for an awesome breakfast and some s’mores by the fire. It’s really close to Myrtle Beach, so you get that quiet nature vibe but still near all the fun. Hosts were super friendly and easy to communicate with. Definitely recommend Little Bear <3

Weekend Trip to Laurel Oaks Estate
We loved our weekend getaway in the Little Bear. This was exactly what we needed to get away for the weekend. It was very private even with other sites nearby. The hosts thought of everything that you would need to camp, cook, and have fun. It was very well done and we would definitely stay here again!!

Weekend Trip to Laurel Oaks Estate
It was literal perfection from start to finish! It’s the sweetest area, so remote and quaint! All the wildlife; fishing, turkeys and everything that you can expect to come along in the Lowcountry! Besides the fact that it is the cutest set up, the bed was super comfy, they had all the essentials you could possibly think of. I will 100% be back!
Thank you for a wonderful weekend far enough away to feel like I got away but close enough for emergencies!

The best forest glamping sites near Myrtle Beach guide
Where to go
Myrtle Beach State Park
Myrtle Beach State Park is located right in town, offering a family-friendly campground with both RV and tent campsites. While not quite oceanfront, Myrtle Beach Campground is minutes from the beach. Follow Sculptured Oak Nature Trail and Yaupon Nature Trail to look for loggerhead sea turtles before returning to wifi-connected campsites with access to washrooms, bathhouses, and laundry facilities. Campers can also try crabbing or fishing for flounder, Spanish mackerel, and whiting using fishing rods available for rent from the pier gift shop.
Huntington Beach State Park
About 20 miles south of Myrtle Beach along Long Bay, Huntington Beach State Park offers surf fishing, boating, and birding opportunities. Campers also get the chance to swim in the Atlantic Ocean next to a secluded beach. For wildlife viewing, including alligators, explore the many boardwalks that extend into the freshwater lagoon and salt marsh. For a taste of history, visit Atalaya Castle, a masonry structure built in the 1930s without drawn plans. Campers will find beachfront camping opportunities at Huntington Beach State Park, including pet-friendly RV campsites with electricity, water, and sewer hookups. There is also complimentary wifi throughout the campground.
Francis Marion National Forest
For a camping experience near Myrtle Beach that’s more forested, consider dispersed, primitive camping at Francis Marion National Forest. Stretching over 250,000 acres, the forest spans diverse ecosystems with unique opportunities to view and hunt local wildlife. Hiking trails are relatively flat, but be prepared for swampy areas with ankle-deep water—especially in the eastern section of the park after spring and summer rains. Elmwood Recreation Area is popular during deer and turkey hunting seasons. And Buck Hall Recreation Area offers easy access to Bulls Bay for excellent shrimp baiting.
When to go
Summer is the most popular time of year for vacation rentals and camping in RVs around Myrtle Beach. Loads of sunshine and soaring temperatures are terrific for beach activities, swimming in the ocean, watersports, and mini-golf. Bugs are also at their peak during warm summer months. For fewer mosquitoes and thinning crowds, fall is a great option for camping in the area. The weather is cooler and less humid, plus it’s the perfect time of year to watch migratory birds and enjoy fall foliage.
