RV Rental Near Ocean Lakes Family Campground in Myrtle Beach, SC

RV rental Myrtle Beach South Carolina

Every spring I start getting the same call: a family flying into Myrtle Beach International, no truck, no trailer, and a confirmed site at Ocean Lakes Family Campground off Kings Highway in Surfside Beach. They want the campground experience without towing anything down US-17. That’s exactly what I do — I drop a fully set-up RV right on your site at Ocean Lakes so you walk up to a rig that’s already leveled, plugged in, and ready. An Ocean Lakes Family Campground RV rental from us means you skip the hauling and get straight to the beach.

Why Ocean Lakes Is the Site I Recommend First for Beach Camping

Ocean Lakes is one of those rare campgrounds that sits right on the Atlantic, so you’re a short golf-cart ride or walk from the sand instead of a drive. After delivering across the Grand Strand for years, it’s the one I steer first-timers toward because the roads inside are wide and paved, the sites are well-marked, and the staff at the gate are used to RV deliveries coming through. That matters when I’m backing a 30-foot trailer in — some Myrtle Beach parks have tight, sandy loops where you fight for clearance, but Ocean Lakes is laid out for big rigs and families who don’t want a wrestling match getting parked.

The campground has full-hookup sites with water, electric, and sewer, plus its own indoor and outdoor pools, a sandy beach, a general store, and that famous golf-cart culture. You don’t need anything from a state park out here — Ocean Lakes is a self-contained little town on the ocean. My job is just to make sure the RV is the easy part.

How Delivery and Setup Works at Ocean Lakes

Here’s how I handle it. You book your own site through Ocean Lakes (they fill up fast, so do that first), then you tell me your site number and arrival date. On your check-in day I tow the RV in, position it on the pad, level it, hook up the water and electric, drop the stabilizers, and walk you through everything before I leave. When your trip ends, I come back and haul it out — you never connect or disconnect a thing. For folks flying into MYR, this is the whole appeal: no rental truck, no hitch, no backing into a site you’ve never seen in your life.

One tip from experience: book your campground reservation before you book the RV. Ocean Lakes sites for summer weekends and holiday weeks go early, and I can’t deliver to a site you don’t have. Once your reservation is locked, give me a call and we’ll line up the rig and the dates.

The Best Times to Book — and What the Weather’s Doing

The Grand Strand has a long camping season, but each stretch feels different and I plan deliveries around it:

  • March–May: My favorite window. Warm days, cool nights, fewer crowds, and the AC isn’t fighting for its life yet. Great for first-timers who want a relaxed setup.
  • June–August: Peak season. Hot, humid, afternoon thunderstorms that roll in off the ocean and clear out fast. Book Ocean Lakes and your RV as early as you can — summer Saturdays are the first dates to disappear.
  • September–October: Quietly the best beach weather of the year. Water’s still warm, the crowds thin out after Labor Day, and I have more flexibility on delivery times. Just keep half an eye on the tropics.
  • Holiday weeks (Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day): These are the calls I get earliest every year. If you want a site at Ocean Lakes for a holiday, reserve months ahead and lock your RV right after.

What’s Within Reach of Your Ocean Lakes Site

Part of why Ocean Lakes works so well is location. From the Surfside Beach area you’re a quick run up Kings Highway or US-17 to the heart of Myrtle Beach. The Boardwalk and Promenade and the SkyWheel are about 15 minutes north; Broadway at the Beach and Ripley’s Aquarium are right in the same stretch. Head south and you’ve got Garden City, Murrells Inlet’s MarshWalk for the best seafood on the Strand, and Brookgreen Gardens and Huntington Beach State Park for a slower day. If your crew wants nature, Myrtle Beach State Park is just down the road, and a drive inland on US-501 puts you at the Conway Riverwalk along the Waccamaw River.

You can do all of it from your Ocean Lakes home base and come back to a rig that’s already set up on the oceanfront. That’s the difference between renting an RV and renting an RV with the campground already sorted.

Picking the Right RV for an Ocean Lakes Site

I match the rig to your group and your site. A couple or a small family is happy in a smaller travel trailer that’s easy to live in and quick for me to set. Bigger groups or longer stays I’ll put in something roomier with more sleeping and counter space, since you’ll be cooking and hanging out at the site between beach runs. Because I’m doing the towing and the backing, you don’t have to worry about whether you can handle a larger trailer — you just tell me how many people and how many nights, and I’ll bring something that fits the site and the crew. Specific RV features and what’s included vary, so give me a call or email and I’ll walk you through current options.
