Great CG and surrounding area. Large sites in the open or in the woods. Broad beach only a short walk away. Walk the half-mile causeway over tidal marshes at high and low tide to see alligators, birds, crabs and more. Tour Huntington's winter home (Alatala) and magnificent gardens (Brookgreen). Scheduled daily programs. Hike or bike - lots of options. Pet friendly, even on the beach. Okay, no Wi-Fi and limited sites with sewer (but three lanes at the dump). Just a great place. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a wonderful park with lots to do without even leaving the park. Beach access is excellent, and has good bike/walking trails with a chance to view alligators from a close, but safe distance. This is another gem in the South Carolina State Park system. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Excellent facility and would rate higher if all sites had sewer and if Wi-Fi available. Sites were large, nicely spaced and fairly level. Nice proximity to Myrtle Beach area, wonderful garden across the street and you can enjoy viewing the gators! I've stayed here before and will stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a gem of a park in a fascinating area; I don't know how we missed it for two years. We had planned to stay 3 nights, but upon arriving added on two days. The next visit will be even longer. The sites are level and easy to back into. All sites are spacious. Those sites on the main loop are out in the open and those sites in the outer loop back into the woods for those who prefer full shade. The sites are gravel, but easy to walk on. A few of the main loop sites have full hookups; the remainder are water & electric. Virtually all sites are back in. Brookgreen Gardens, an outstanding sculpture garden with a native animal zoo and other activities, is nearly across the road from the park. It was opened by the Huntingtons in 1932, and was the first outdoor sculpture garden in the country. You'd miss so much to pass up the place. There are well over 1,000 sculptures in the gardens today. We took three days to see most everything there. Atalaya, the unique Huntington's home until the early 70s, is in the state park and can be self-toured for $1. We also recommend a guided tour of the Yawkey Wildlife Preserve on two sea islands south of Georgetown. You will not be disappointed to visit this area and to stay at this park. We will be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

It is one of the best state parks I have stayed in. It is easy in and out, with lots of room between sites. Most are back ins, but easy to use as they are angled to the road for easy access. Most sites have good gravel and lots of grass. All sites are very level, almost no leveling needed. There is lots to do in the area and lots of trails in the park. The staff are great, and eager to accommodate. We will definitely be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I have not stayed at this CG since Thanksgiving weekend last year, but just wanted to give my thoughts about it. I love it! The sites are huge, the beach access is awesome, the mansion home on site is nice, and you can not beat the price for what you get and where you are located. Restaurant row in Murrells Inlet has some fabulous places to eat. The lowland area of the CG has some of the best wildlife in the area. I saw a bald eagle last trip. This CG is our number one spot when we go to the beach. You have to plan ahead when making reservations because they book up fast. I have a reservation for 8 nights at the end of July. Nice shaded site. I gave it a 9 instead of a 10 because all the sites do not have sewer, but, that is just one minor flaw for the price. Reserve a site and go!!! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A very clean and friendly campground in a beautiful area. We are looking forward to going back soon. We especially liked the proximity to the beach. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

There is so much to do at this park! The back sites are the most private and have woods in the back; the others towards the front are much closer. We had site 121, and it was very private and very close to the restrooms. We kayaked at the marsh area. We ask ranger how to get there as it is very easy. The highlight was Brookgreen gardens less than 1 mile from the park. They have 9000 acres of garden, sculptures and very cool zoo. The ticket is good for 6 days as you could never see it all in one day. We loved this area so much we have already scheduled a trip in April. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The sites are huge, there's nice access to the beach, the trails were nice, has paved roads to ride your bikes on and the birds and alligators put on a show on the causeway every morning. The only thing that would make this campground better would be a sewer connection. We have already made plans to come back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Pretty nice campground Sunday afternoon until Friday. We arrived on a Monday and campground was nice and quiet. Friday afternoon the week end crowd started coming in and some were loud and rowdy. There were a lot of golf carts and ATVs riding through the campground, some weren't obeying the speed limit. Sunday evening the campground was quiet again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a excellent campground close to Myrtle Beach. No crowd or late night teenagers driving golf carts here. Very quaint and reasonable. Bring bug spray and a beach towel and enjoy the nature. This is the campground your father would like. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was once a wonderful campground but it has gone downhill aver the last couple of years. Trash dumpsters were difficult to use and some people were putting their trash on the ground beside the dumpster. Dog poop was on the beach and on the boardwalk to the beach. Kids were riding around and around the campground on golf carts. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Wow, what a neat campground we happen to luck out and get four days in the same spot from a cancellation and had a spot in between the trees, very nice. The only thing i could find that kept this park from a 10 was the restrooms but if you can keep the price at this rate just clean them and i can live with it. Will differently be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Wonderful park near the beach (though not as close or scenic as Hunting Island). New paved roads are excellent and almost all pads are very level and most are large enough to handle any size rig. There are a few nice boardwalks to walk, a hiking trail, and a great little education center with turtles, baby alligators, etc. The beach is a few hundred feet off from the sites and through a hammock. The Huntington beach "house" ruins are interesting and worth the $1 separate fee. Great campground store and the four dump stations were immaculate. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is an outstanding State Park. Good, paved interior roads. The sites are gravel and level. Full hookups are available in 40 sites. Thirty Amp, water, sewer. The beach is great and there is a lot to do in the park and surrounding area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Sites are large, level and well spaced. Only a few have sewer hookups. Very nice beach is a short walk away via a couple paths through the woods. Park is wooded but not so much so as to present problems getting into sites. Cell coverage is good and dishes should work well on most, but not all, sites. Plenty of shopping and dining nearby. I will be back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a gem. It is south of Myrtle Beach but still close enough to get all your tourists stuff. Right across the street from Brook Green Gardens which was the purpose of our short trip from Outdoor Resorts in Hilton Head Island. Maybe 20 various rigs, clean, quiet and a short walk to a quiet, deserted beach...it was special. There is a wonderful bird sanctuary and the Huntington's Winter Castle to explore plus the spectacular Brook Green Gardens...a must see when in the area..the Christmas "Nights of 1000s Candles" was unbelievable. We camped here in a Motorhome.

It certainly was quiet, even for November. Only about 2 dozen campers. Rest rooms were clean, although it's strange there was no soap or towels/hand dryers. There is direct access to the beach in a couple of places and at night or when it is quiet, you can hear the surf pounding. Rangers passed through often. The only down side in my estimation was the lack of control over speed limits in the camp area including the rangers. 20-25 MPH was the standard. In fairness, the roads are paved, so there wasn't a dust problem like in some parks. We camped here in a Motorhome.

OK - no 50 amp, no cable, no WIFI, lots of mosquitoes, BUT it is so beautiful in every other way that I had to give it a 10. I hate that reservations cannot be made 11 months in advance from the beginning of your stay. It is hard to get two weeks without moving sites. We had gone there before Hurricane Hugo, and I do not think they had any full hook-up sites then. I wish they had more. We will try to go back every year! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great park. A beach that is not as crowded as beaches in the area. Alligators are around as well as other wildlife. (Don't leave the Garbage cans out). The bugs were a little intense and would recommend that anyone camping here in the warm months take a screen room. Walk to the beach is better on the boardwalk than the other path. (recommend a beach cart) We camped here in a Motorhome.

Why did we wait so long to go here?! We were VERY pleased with Huntington Beach. We have already made more reservations. This will definitely be our favorite beach campground. We hope no one makes reservations besides us!!! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

What a beautiful park! This was our second time camping here and it was just as wonderful as the first. Our site was nicely shaded by a sprawling oak and was right at the beach access point to a nice winding trail to the beach over the dunes. They have a really nice camp store and gift shop as well as a great nature center. They had paved the campground road recently which cut down on the dust and noise of the stones from before which was nice. The other campers were very friendly and helpful. Bathrooms are conveniently located and clean. Overall a super week. We will be back very soon! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Huntington Beach Campground – Huntington Beach, South Carolina - $23 plus fees and taxes – Site 3 – water and electricity. Sites? This campground is on the beautiful grounds of the state park and the former home of Archer and Ann Huntington – Atalaya (very interesting)which is open daily and free to explore. Brookline Gardens is across the site also built by the Huntingons. Beaches are beautiful, places to ride bikes all over the park and some sites are more private than others. Very peaceful, education center, marsh boardwalks, bird watching, alligators, palm trees. Enjoyable place to camp and we will be back! The only negative is that there is no privacy when trying to change up in the shower stall but the showers are hot. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great location and nice sites. One section has a lot of vegetation between the sites the other section is more open. Sites are large and fairly level. Roads are recently paved. Access to the beach and dogs are allowed. Convenient location to nearby attractions. Myrtle Beach is a short drive away. Will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A very nice state park. We have been there 2 of the last 3 weekends and plan to return again. Yes, the roads are being paved. We saw the paving equipment in place and it was due to start Monday, Nov. 19th. Thank God because the potholes were beginning to swallow the campers! Comments by so many are very true. Many are large enough for even the biggest rig. Most have limited shade, but those in the highest numbers (101 - 133) are very wooded and afford much privacy. Bathhouse in that area was clean and the showers were great. Very limited stock in camp store during this time of year, but have been there when campground was packed and it had everything. Would not hesitate to recommend Huntington Beach to anyone. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The previous reviewer stated most of what we experienced, so glad to hear that the main roads are to be paved, dodging potholes and dealing with the dust was not fun. I felt bad for campers with sites close to the road and downwind when some inconsiderate boob drives by too fast raising a cloud of dust. Paving the roads will eliminate most of that problem. Our biggest complaint was ANTS! They were like the Borg, for those who are familiar with the Star Trek series. Kill five and ten reappear..... We have never had a problem with ants in our trailer before. They were RELENTLESS. I sprayed inside and outside with bug spray and it would knock them back a bit, but they would reappear somewhere else with a vengeance. Next time I will bring some ant dust along and sprinkle some around everything that touches the ground. Once they get inside, be prepared to do battle! On the plus side, we saw 'gators galore, more birds than you can count, and enjoyed great walks on the WIDE beach, (go at low tide). On a side note, the restaurants we visited in nearby Murrells Inlet were superb, and Murrells Inlet Seafood Market had the best Tuna steaks I have ever had. Definitely worth the short drive. We would stay here again, but with "ant protection". We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great wooded and spacious sites making for easy parking and privacy. Roads were potholed - was informed by park staff that they will be paving the main campground roads (but not sites) very soon. Very narrow beach, but beautiful. Enjoyed a walk around Atalaya Mansion and running around the park on the boardwalks through the salt marsh and nature trail to Sandpiper pond (an interdune pond). It was rainy while we were there, but still got out and enjoyed nature's bounty. Great place to view egrets, though missed out on the gators. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Second time here and we had a great stay again. We try to get a site on the first loop so we are close to the beach walkway, bathrooms, and a short distance to the camp store. The beach is very close and just one of the greatest beaches we have ever been to. The kids played at the beach every day and we visited the nature center almost every afternoon for one of talks that the staff there gives on the local marine life. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Decent State Park - were told our site and unable to have it when we arrived. Nice beach - enjoyed just the quiet of it. Have FHU but apparently have to book way in advance. If you want an ocean front Park - this is a nice one to stay at. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park. This was our 4th time at this campground and we intend on returning. The park rangers do a spectacular job keeping the restrooms clean. The walk to the beach isn't far at all. You can hear the ocean from your site at night. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Nice large sites. Some shaded, but would probably be very hot in summer. Staff was very nice and the beach was a short walk over the dunes and was great. Only problem was dust. Roads are dirt and it had been dry for some time. Would have gotten a 10 if not for that. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Fairly typical state park campground. Sites tend to be in open areas with limited trees for shade. This would be a rather hot place in summer weather. Beautiful natural area with very long and isolated beach to enjoy. Prefer the campsites at Myrtle Beach State Park but this park is much more separated from the noise of the MB urban area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is our 3rd time staying at this park right after Christmas. I have always rated it higher than this year's rating, as the campground has always been just so pretty and the beach and park are just great. This year they did a poor job with communicating with fellow campers. We were there from 12/30/06-1/4/07. We were in the office on 3 separate occasions and there were no notices of the main road/causeway being closed on 1/4/07. The only way out of this park was down a narrow road with overhanging branches that was built during the early 1930s. They did trim them the day before though, so we did not get our truck or camper scratched up. The day before we were leaving, a newly checked in camper informed us that they were asked to help with "flagging" the morning of the 4th around 9 am. That was when they assumed the road was going to be closed. Now, bear in mind, no signs were posted and no mention of this closure was made during the time we were there. We arose at 4:30 am and got the truck and trailer ready to go by 8 am. We rode over to the causeway and there was tape and cones blocking the road and that was after we drove the 1/4 mile from the campground. The road was blocked with digging equipment. We were stuck. One very nice ranger, who was not directly assigned to the campground and park, was kind enough to assist us. The regular park rangers were of no help whatsoever. We finally were led to the one way out, which was an 8-10' wide drive that no one closed off the incoming traffic. So there was two way traffic on a road which barely could hold one. This was so inconsiderate of the park employees. They could have had flagmen directing traffic in the morning. They should have posted flyers throughout the campground or informed fellow campers who were checking in and were leaving on that scheduled day. What a mess. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We loved it. Even though we were out of season, the campground stayed pretty full the week we were there. A really great state run campground. A lot of space between camp sites. Neat & clean. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I found out about Huntington Beach State Park when I did an online search for campgrounds along the Grand Strand. The campground at HBSP was very nice and seemed to be well maintained. Most of the sites had more than adequate shade, but were also accommodating for even the largest of RVs. We stayed in a pop-up camper with our two dogs, a pitbull/chow cross and a German shepherd dog. The campground is laid out very well. The sites are situated such that campers are not crammed in on top of one another, and there was plenty of room for our two dogs to be tied on 20 foot long tie outs without being in the way of other campers or getting tangled up in each other's lines. The campground appears to be extremely dog friendly, with 'poop bag stations' in several locations in case you forget to bring a bag with you when you walk your dog. There were many, many campers there with dogs. Beach access is easily accessible to everyone, including people in wheelchairs or parents with strollers, via a raised boardwalk from the campground all the way to the beach. There was a floodlight on the side of the bath house, which made me feel safe going to the bathroom during the night, as it lit up the area very well, without being obtrusive and shining directly into the campsites. The bath house that was near our campsite needed to be updated. There were some cracked and loose tiles on the floor, and green stuff growing in a couple of the faucet heads, both at the sinks and the showers. There was indication of mildew/mold on the benches at the showers themselves, and the tile grout in the showers needed to be scrubbed because it looked dirty. There was also little privacy for those taking a shower. The only curtain was for the shower itself, so you had to undress and dress either in the shower behind the curtain, or out in the open for whoever walked by to see. I overheard other campers saying that the other bath house was newer and better, but I did not see it for myself. The toilets, countertops, and sinks appeared clean. We and other campers did use our Lysol spray in the shower areas, though. Atalaya 'Castle,' the winter home of Arthur and Anna Hyatt Huntington, is open to the public and can be toured alone or with a guide. Brookgreen Gardens is across the street on the opposite side of Hwy 17, and requires at least one full day to see everything there. Myrtle Beach is about 10 miles up the coast, and Georgetown is to the Southwest. Not directly related to the campground, I did want to say that the Sandpiper Pond trail needs some work. I was not impressed with it at all. The pond is grown up and so are the viewing sites, so we really only got to see the pond at the beginning of the trail, at the first raised viewing area. It's a fairly long trail, and is a bit confusing, because it was not well marked. The freshwater lagoon and saltwater marsh, on the other hand, provide excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. We saw several alligators, herons and other birds. The Education Center at HBSP provides some good programs and 'excursions' that are fun for young and old. We camped here in a Tent.

This was our 3rd visit to Huntington Beach SP and will be our last! Our site was next to a marsh, which made mosquitos pretty bad. That isn't the park's fault. My score comes primarily from the filthy bathrooms! On both days we were there the bathrooms hadn't been cleaned. There was water and grass everywhere, feces stains in the toilets, and the showers were full of mold. This place needed an overhaul. We will not be returning! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This campground is wonderful. Nice large sites with wonderful areas to bike around. The Education Center is not just for the children we also found it very informative of the marine life out there. There is a camp store that has a good little variety of things, most of the things are not outrageously priced. The Atalaya Castle was neat to walk through everyone enjoyed it. All of the staff there were very kind.The only downfall for this place was the restrooms. They are "old", the showers were filthy fortunately though we did not go to camp in the bath house. A great place for the price. We will definitely be back every year. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

My kids and I camped in a tent at Huntington Island, it was a great park for a family. Of course the beach (which is a few minute walk) was wonderful, and the Education Center at the State Park was a lot of fun. There are several Nature Programs offered daily that were great. I can't say enough good things. We camped here in a Tent.

Another wonderful South Carolina state park. The sites are really spacious. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We arrived during a downpour and some of the sites were flooded. There was heavy flooding around some of the sewer connections at those sites that had them. Some sites were shaded and some were out in the open which would most likely be very hot in the summer months. There is direct beach access from the campground with the beach being about 300 yards away. Although the campground was almost full during our stay, the beach itself was deserted. There were three dump stations located at exit but one was closed for some reason. Roads and pads are gravel and were level for the most part. Big rigs can easily maneuver around the park. We will go back here again. We were in a 30' travel trailer. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I loved this place! A short walk to the beach where you could ride your bikes or hike out to the jetty. It is clean, very picturesque and apparently in the summer, they have lots of programs for families to learn about the park and nature. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We camped at this park in 1999 with 2 small children and had a great experience. The bathrooms back then were somewhat primitive. We visited the park in 2004 and found that they had built a new campground here and closed the old one. We checked it out and it was great! The bathhouses were clean and the sites were awesome. It's not as close to the ocean as the old sites - ours was backed into the dunes and the ocean was right on the other side. We loved it though. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Really enjoyed this State Park. No waterfront but close walk to beach. Something for every member of the family. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a nice state park. The beach area is good also. It also is in part of the beach where there aren't as many people if you are not into crowds. My wife, daughter and chinese crested stayed here in 2001 and again in 2003 and found the place to be very well maintained and beautiful. You can see aligators up close and personal here. The good and the bad, depending on how you see it, it that it takes about 20 moinutes to get to Myrtle Beach downtown from the park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great for the nature lover. Big wide sites, Salt water marshes, fresh water lagoons, beach and ocean. Nature trails. Great birding. Brookgreen gardens is directly across on HWY. 17. and easy to get to on bicycles. We enjoy it in the off season when it's cooler and no mosquitos. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Beautiful state park located on the beach south of Myrtle Beach. Sites are not on the beach but within easy walking distance. Divided into two sections. Note: During a visit in November 2001, looks like the southern section is being dismantled so the number of sites may be reduced. 24 sites of sewer, the rest are water & electric. Great biking in the park trails or on the beach. Very nice nature programs. We camped here in a camper.

Nice campground on the beach. Near Myrtle Beach. Nicer than Myrtle Beach State Park. Great seafood restaurants nearby. Sewer hookups on 24 sites. We camped here in a camper.
