RV Rental for Myrtle Beach Pelicans Baseball Season in Myrtle Beach, SC

Every spring once the Pelicans schedule drops, I start getting the same call: a family or a group of buddies wants an RV rental for a Myrtle Beach Pelicans game weekend, but they don’t want to drive a motorhome through downtown traffic on US-17 Business right before first pitch. That’s the thing nobody tells you — Pelicans Ballpark sits right off 21st Avenue North near Broadway at the Beach, and the surface lots around it fill fast on Friday and Saturday nights, fireworks nights especially. So what I tell folks is simple: don’t try to camp at the ballpark. Camp at one of the big oceanfront resorts a few miles south, and let me deliver and set the rig up before you ever arrive.

Why an RV Beats a Hotel for Pelicans Season

Pelicans baseball runs April through September, which is the exact stretch when Grand Strand hotel rates climb and oceanfront rooms book up around holiday weekends. A Pelicans game camper rental lets you turn a single ballgame into a real Myrtle Beach trip — beach in the morning, baseball at night, and a base camp with your own kitchen and beds instead of a cramped hotel room. The games are cheap family entertainment; the camper is what makes it a vacation. And because the season overlaps with the hot, humid Lowcountry summer, having a fully cooled RV waiting for you matters more here than most people expect. By July the afternoon heat index along the coast is no joke, and an afternoon nap in the AC before a 7:05 first pitch is a real strategy.

Where to Camp for a Pelicans Game

There’s no RV camping at Pelicans Ballpark itself — it’s a ballpark, not a campground. What you want is a real site within a short drive, and the south end of the Grand Strand is loaded with them. Here’s where I actually deliver and what I’d match you with:

• Ocean Lakes Family Campground — the giant oceanfront resort off US-17 Business in Surfside. It’s about a 15-minute drive up to the ballpark. Sites are well-marked and easy to back into, which is why I send first-timers here.
• Pirateland Family Camping Resort — right next door to Ocean Lakes, same easy access, beach on one side.
• Lakewood Camping Resort — also oceanfront on the south end, great for families who want a pool day before the game.
• Myrtle Beach State Park — quieter, shaded sites under the pines off US-17. The loops here run tighter and shorter, so I’ll usually put a smaller travel trailer in here rather than a big Class A.
• Myrtle Beach KOA Holiday and Apache Family Campground — both solid, closer in to the ballpark on the north-central side.

If you want the full rundown on each of these, including what kind of rig fits where, check our Grand Strand campgrounds and RV parks guide. The one piece of advice I’ll repeat: the State Park sites are beautiful but short, so tell me your campground when you book and I’ll size the rig to it.

How RV Delivery Works for Game Weekend

This is what makes RV delivery near Pelicans Ballpark actually worth it. You don’t tow anything, you don’t level anything, you don’t fight traffic on SC-31 or US-501 with a trailer behind you. I haul the rig to your reserved campsite, level it, hook up water, power, and sewer, and walk you through everything before you settle in. After your stay, I come back and break it all down. You just show up, unlock the door, and head to the ballpark.

For a game-day plan, I usually tell folks to leave the south-end campgrounds by about 6:00 for a 7:05 start. Coming up US-17 Business or US-17 Bypass, the area around Broadway at the Beach gets congested on weekend nights, so build in cushion. Park once at the ballpark, watch the game, and let someone else worry about your campsite. Want the details on radius, fees, and scheduling? See our RV delivery page.

Pick the Right RV for Your Group

Coming for a single weekend series with the family? A travel trailer at Ocean Lakes is plenty. Bringing a bigger crew or extended family for a longer summer stretch? A larger motorhome or bunkhouse trailer gives everyone room to spread out between beach days and ballgames. Tell me how many people, which campground, and your dates, and I’ll point you to the right fit from our local fleet. Exact features and what’s included vary by unit and location, so reach out and I’ll go over the specific rig with you.

The Pelicans play a long home schedule from April into September, but the best campsites near the beach go first for holiday weekends, fireworks nights, and the heart of summer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there RV camping at Pelicans Ballpark?

No — the ballpark off 21st Avenue North is for parking and games only, not overnight camping. I deliver and set up your RV at a real campground a short drive away, like Ocean Lakes, Pirateland, or Myrtle Beach State Park, so you have a full base camp with hookups.

How far are the campgrounds from the ballpark?

The south-end oceanfront resorts like Ocean Lakes and Lakewood are roughly 10 to 15 minutes from the ballpark depending on traffic. On weekend nights near Broadway at the Beach, leave a little early — I tell families to head out around 6:00 for a 7:05 first pitch.

Do you deliver the RV to my campsite?

Yes. I haul it to your reserved site, level it, connect water, power, and sewer, and walk you through it before you arrive. After your stay I handle removal. You never tow or set up anything. See our delivery page for the service area.

When should I book for Pelicans season?

As early as you can, especially for holiday weekends and peak summer in June and July. That’s when the beachfront campsites fill first. Contact me with your game dates and campground preference and I’ll confirm availability.

What size RV should I rent?

It depends on your group and your campground. A travel trailer suits most families, while a larger motorhome works for bigger groups. Sites at Myrtle Beach State Park run shorter, so I’ll match a smaller unit there. Tell me your details and I’ll recommend the right fit.
