Weekend Trip to Lakewood Camping Resort

This camping resort has so much to do! We only stayed one night as we passed through but we've already made plans to come back and fully experience the resort. The lot sizes are generous and so are the amenities. Despite how much they have to offer their prices are fairly low compared to other similar camp stores with a few onsite restaurants to get an easy breakfast or dinner at too! There were only two drawbacks I remarked on that were also positives - first, it's super bright at night. We stayed in a lake Perry lot to have some shade from the sun and not be in the middle of the rows of other campers but the spotlights from the adjacent condo complex meant our tent was lit up inside and out all night. It's a positive because it's definitely well lit and safe but I'd bring something to cover your eyes for better sleep. Second drawback was the sound of all the golf carts driving around throughout the night. I think it was the security team doing rounds but it took some time to get used to. Once I got really in to my sleep they didn't wake me up at all. This is the perfect vacation spot for anyone looking for a one stop shop for family fun and endless activities. I don't think you could see/do everything here even if you stayed a whole week. It's an awesome place and very affordable. The entire staff is patient and helpful. Check in and out was relaxed and everything is tied in to the app if you need to know when something is open or just need supplies delivered to your camp

I loved camping at Lakewood! It doesn’t matter where you are on this campground it’s beautiful everywhere you go, the beach is great with many points of access. The waterpark was super fun and included with the stay. My children absolutely loved the smaller kid area splash pad. And parents, this is the perfect place to go with younger kids, super family friendly and clean and safe. The splash pad was an amazing place to go sit and chill while the kids went and ran out energy. I’ll be going again for sure. Possibly even making a new Easter tradition to go there and camp every year with my family. That’s how much I enjoyed myself this weekend. Thanks again Lakewood!!!

Such a well kept quiet RV park, all hookups worked as they should and area around space was clean and mowed. We stopped in the coffee shop on the last day for a coffee and hot breakfast sandwiches and were very impressed. We would highly recommend this park and will definitely stay again.

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.
