Located in the heart of the Grand Strand, Myrtle Beach State Park is one of the most popular public beaches along the South Carolina coast.

This 312-acre oceanfront park plays a major role in preserving and maintaining a portion of the natural heritage of South Carolina's coastline.

This traditional state park was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s and has the distinction of being the first state park open to the public in South Carolina.

Myrtle Beach State Park includes a campground, cabins, nearly a mile of beach, picnic areas, a fishing pier and nature center.

In addition, a nature trail provides a rare opportunity to see one of the last stands of maritime forest on the northern coast of South Carolina.

Because of this distinction, the forest has been declared a Heritage Trust Site.

April 11 Our Favorite get away by familyof5

My family and I love coming every year multiple times a year. At the state park you are only footsteps away from the beach access which is available at every camp loop. Also most loops have a bath house with hot water, sinks, showers and toilets. Whether your camping in tents or a trailer. It is the most relaxing place to be!

April 11 Love your little cabins by Boogie001

Me, and my husband Jeff, come down every summer when you guys open. Love the pool..and your little camping store. My husband loves the pond he goes fishing everytime we camp. Keep up the lovely work and hope to see you this summer. Margaret,Jeff from Selbyville Delaware.

April 11 We love going to there to go fishing by asneakyangel@Yahoo.com

April 10 A wonderful place to get away.

April 9 Crystal Waters by T Walker

The crystal clear waters of the lake are absolutely beautiful to sit a watch on a clear windy day. Since the park sits high upon a ridge overlooking the Scioto River Valley the days are often windy at the park.
