RV Rental Near Huntington Beach State Park in Myrtle Beach, SC

Every spring I get the same call: somebody booked a site at Huntington Beach State Park in Murrells Inlet, then realized they don’t actually own an RV — and they want to know if I can have one waiting when they arrive. The answer is yes. I run the local Fireside RV Rental here on the Grand Strand, and a Huntington Beach State Park RV rental is one of the deliveries I make most often. I bring the rig in off US-17, get it leveled on your site, hook up the basics, and walk you through it so all you have to do is unpack and listen to the wind come off the salt marsh.

Why I love delivering to Huntington Beach State Park

Huntington Beach State Park sits just south of Murrells Inlet, right across US-17 from Brookgreen Gardens. It’s one of the few spots on the entire Grand Strand where you camp with a real wild barrier-island feel instead of the wall-to-wall resort scene up in Myrtle Beach proper. The causeway over the marsh is famous for birding — I’ve watched people pull over with binoculars before they even get to the gate — and Atalaya Castle anchors the south end of the park. After years of dropping rigs all over Horry and Georgetown counties, this is where I personally send first-timers who want quiet, ocean, and dark skies at night.

The flip side: it’s a state park, so the sites are more natural and less manicured than the big private resorts. That’s exactly why some folks pick it — and exactly why a few details matter when you’re bringing in a rented motorhome or travel trailer.

What the sites are actually like (from someone who parks rigs here)

Here’s the operator honesty most listings won’t give you. The campground loops at Huntington Beach run through maritime forest, and some of those interior sites have low live-oak branches and tighter back-in approaches than the photos suggest. When I’m matching a rig to a reservation here, I always ask which loop and site number you’ve got, because a 35-foot Class A that fits great at Ocean Lakes can be a knuckle-biter on a shaded back-in here. For most Huntington Beach sites I steer people toward a smaller travel trailer or a mid-size motorhome — easier to tuck in, easier to level on the sandy pads.

Hookups vary by loop, so confirm whether your specific site has water and electric only or full sewer when you book with the park. I’ll set up whatever you’ve reserved — but I can’t conjure a sewer connection that isn’t there, so know what you’ve got before arrival. Exact features and what comes with each rig vary, so call me at 843-585-5154 or email [email protected] and I’ll match the right unit to your site.

How my delivery and setup works

You don’t tow anything and you don’t drive anything oversized. That’s the whole point of how I run this. Here’s the simple version of what happens when you book a delivered RV rental to Huntington Beach State Park:

• You reserve your campsite directly with Huntington Beach State Park, then book the RV with me and give me your site number and arrival date.
• I tow the rig down US-17 to the park, get it onto your pad, level it, and connect to the water and electric your site offers.
• I walk you through everything hands-on — slides, awning, AC, fridge, the whole rundown — so nothing’s a mystery your first night.
• You spend the week on the beach, the marsh boardwalk, and Atalaya Castle instead of fighting a tow vehicle.
• When you check out, I come back, break it down, and haul it off. No dump station, no hitch, no stress.

This is ideal if you’re flying into Myrtle Beach International (MYR) — it’s a short hop down US-17, and there’s no reason to rent a truck and trailer when I can have the RV staged and ready before your plane lands.

When to book — and what the weather’s doing

Huntington Beach State Park books up fast, and I mean fast. Summer weekends, spring break weeks, and anything around a holiday go early — I tell people to lock the campsite reservation months out, then call me to slot the RV. Fall is my quiet secret: September and October on the Grand Strand still bring warm ocean water with smaller crowds, and the bugs back off the marsh a bit by late October.

A couple of weather notes from doing this every year: summer afternoons here build pop-up thunderstorms off the ocean almost daily, so I always set the awning so it sheds water and remind folks to roll it in before a storm rolls through. And the marsh side means mosquitoes and no-see-ums at dusk in the warm months — screens closed, and you’ll be glad you have the AC I set up for you. Hurricane season runs into the fall, so if a system’s spinning in the Atlantic, stay flexible and keep in touch with me.

What’s right outside the park

One of the reasons I push Huntington Beach for a relaxed trip is everything within a few minutes. Directly across US-17 is Brookgreen Gardens, with its sculpture gardens and lowcountry trails — easy to do in an afternoon. Head a couple miles north and you’re at the Murrells Inlet MarshWalk for fresh seafood and live music over the water. If your crew wants the full Myrtle Beach circus — Broadway at the Beach, the SkyWheel, Ripley’s Aquarium, the Boardwalk — it’s a straightforward 20-to-30-minute run north up 17. So you get the wild, quiet base camp and the boardwalk action, both within reach.

If Huntington Beach is full when you go to book, don’t panic — I deliver all over the Grand Strand, from Ocean Lakes and Pirateland in the Surfside area up to Willow Tree near Conway and Carolina Pines toward Loris, plus Myrtle Beach State Park down the road. I’ll help you find an open site that fits your dates.
