The best river, stream, or creek camping near Myrtle Beach

·

Riverside camping around Myrtle Beach puts you close to the water and away from the crowds. With over 180 options lining local rivers, you can pitch your tent where the fishing is good and the swimming holes are close. Average sites run about $30 a night, but you can snag a spot for as little as $25. Campfires are allowed at most sites, and you’ll usually find showers and toilets on hand. Wildlife-watching is a favorite pastime here—herons and turtles show up often. For a spot with a loyal following, Thompson Farm (130 reviews) draws families and solo campers alike. Green Acres Private Campground (104 reviews) stays quiet, even in summer. Laurel Oaks Estate (50 reviews) offers shaded sites right by the river’s edge. Bring your fishing rod, leave your schedule behind, and explore the quieter side of Myrtle Beach.

Private Riverfront Retreat on the Scenic Waccamaw Escape to your own private getaway on the beautiful Waccamaw River in Conway, South Carolina. Tucked beside the peaceful Shaftesbury Glen Golf & Fish Club—but well outside the golf community—this 2.2-acre property offers unmatched privacy and tranquility. Enjoy exclusive access to over 350 feet of serene riverfront, shaded by towering hardwoods and pines. This quiet retreat feels a world away from the hustle and bustle, yet it’s ideally located for exploring the area. Historic downtown Conway, with its charming shops, restaurants, and scenic Riverwalk, is just 10 miles away via Hwy 905. If you're craving sand and surf, the north end of Myrtle Beach is only 15.5 miles away via Hwy 22, with quick connections to Hwy 31 for easy travel to North Myrtle Beach, Surfside, Garden City, Murrells Inlet, and the rest of the Grand Strand. Whether you're looking to relax in nature, paddle along the river, or explore the nearby coastal towns, this peaceful haven offers the perfect basecamp. *We now have a commercial portable toilet for your convenience. The toilet is serviced and cleaned weekly by the contractor* ***For your information*** There are two security cameras on site, one watches the entrance to the property (for obvious reasons), and the other is pointed at the river in the center of the property (this is because I need to know the height of the river at times, especially this time of year with hurricane season). Neither of these cameras look towards the interior of the property, or towards the "beach/kayak launch" where you can walk to the water. I have included photos in the listing where you can see screen shots of what these cameras' fixed viewpoints are. Rest assured, your privacy is not compromised.*** FOR TRASH DISPOSAL, there is an Horry County Recycling Center convieniently located 6 miles from the campsite, on Hwy 905. Here's the address: 7554 Highway 905, Conway 29526. Here's their days/hours of operation from the Horry County website: Hours: Monday, Wednesday - Saturday, 7AM - 7PM, Sunday, 1PM - 7PM-CLOSED Tuesday
