RV Rental for Myrtle Beach Bike Week (Spring Rally) in Myrtle Beach, SC

Every May the phone starts ringing the same way: someone’s riding into the Grand Strand for the Spring Rally, the campground near where they want to be is already full, and they’re realizing an RV is the only smart play for Bike Week. That’s where I come in. I run the local Fireside RV Rental here in Myrtle Beach, and an RV rental for Myrtle Beach Bike Week is one of the most common requests I handle every spring — because once the rumble starts rolling up US-17 in mid-May, hotel rates spike and the good campsites are long gone.
I’ve delivered enough rigs around the rally weekends to know exactly which campgrounds book out first and which ones still have room when riders call me last-minute. Let me walk you through how this works.
Why Riders Choose an RV for the Spring Rally
Bike Week along the Grand Strand isn’t a one-spot event — it spreads from North Myrtle Beach down through Murrells Inlet, with US-17 as the main artery. A hotel locks you into one location and one inflated nightly rate. An RV gives you a home base near the beach with your own kitchen, AC for those first warm May afternoons, and a place to actually rest between rides. For groups rolling in together, a couple of trailers parked side by side beats trying to find adjoining hotel rooms that don’t exist this time of year.
The other reason I hear constantly: trailer or toy-hauler space for the bikes themselves. If you’re hauling your own motorcycle in rather than riding the whole way, ask me about the right unit — inclusions and toy-hauler availability vary, so call and we’ll match it to what you’re bringing.
Where to Park During Bike Week
This is the question I get first, every single year. The big beachfront resorts fill earliest for the May rally, so if you want to be steps from the sand, book yesterday. Here’s how I steer people:
- Ocean Lakes Family Campground and Pirateland Family Camping Resort — south end off US-17 Business, oceanfront sites, the most requested and the first to sell out for any May weekend.
- Lakewood Camping Resort and Apache Family Campground — also on the south Grand Strand, big rigs welcome, good for groups.
- Myrtle Beach State Park — quieter, shaded, right on the ocean. The sites here run shorter and the loops are tighter, so when I deliver I’ll often steer you to a smaller trailer that fits cleanly without a wrestling match backing in.
- Myrtle Beach KOA Holiday and Willow Tree RV Resort & Campground (up toward Longs) — solid options a short drive from the action when the beachfront spots are booked.
- Carolina Pines RV Resort near Conway — newer, more space, a calmer base if you don’t mind the 20-minute ride in on US-501.
One thing I always tell first-timers: a few of these campgrounds set their own quiet-hour and rally-period rules, so confirm your reservation directly with the park before you commit. I’m happy to help you figure out which one fits your crew — I deliver to all of them.

What May Weather Looks Like Here
May on the Grand Strand is just about perfect riding weather — daytime highs usually settle into the low-to-mid 80s, with ocean breezes keeping the evenings comfortable. That said, we get the occasional afternoon pop-up shower this time of year, and the humidity starts climbing toward the end of the month. The AC and a dry place to duck into are exactly why an RV beats a tent during rally week. I make sure every unit I deliver is set up and cooling before you arrive.
How Delivery Works
You don’t need to tow anything or know how to level a rig. I deliver the RV straight to your campsite anywhere along the Grand Strand — from North Myrtle Beach down through Surfside, Garden City, and Murrells Inlet — get it leveled, hooked up to water, power, and sewer, and walk you through everything before I leave. When the rally’s over, I come back and haul it out. You ride; I handle the logistics.
Because I do these drops every week, I know the tricky turns — the back loops at certain parks are tight, and a few sites are short enough that the wrong-size trailer just won’t fit. Tell me where you’re staying and I’ll match the right unit to the spot. Learn more on our RV delivery page.
Book Early — Bike Week Fills Fast
The Spring Rally is one of my busiest stretches of the year. Both the rigs and the best campsites go quickly, so the earlier you reach out, the better I can set you up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you deliver an RV right to my Bike Week campsite?
Yes — that’s most of what I do during the spring rally. Tell me your campground and site number anywhere on the Grand Strand, and I’ll deliver, level, and hook up the RV before you arrive, then remove it after the rally. Just confirm the campground reservation is in your name first.
How far in advance should I book for the Spring Rally?
As early as you can. Bike Week in May is one of the highest-demand windows on the Grand Strand, and both the rentals and the oceanfront campsites sell out well ahead. If you’re already thinking about it, call me now at 843-585-5154.
Which campground should I choose for Bike Week?
If you want oceanfront and you’re booking early, the south-end resorts like Ocean Lakes, Pirateland, and Lakewood are the favorites. If those are full or you want something quieter, look at Myrtle Beach KOA, Willow Tree, or Carolina Pines near Conway. Tell me your priorities and I’ll point you to the right fit.
Can I haul my motorcycle with the RV?
Depending on availability, I can help you with units suited for hauling gear and bikes. Toy-hauler and trailer options vary, so call me with what you’re bringing and I’ll let you know what I have for your rally dates.
Do you serve all of the Grand Strand?
Yes — I deliver throughout Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach, Garden City, Murrells Inlet, Conway, and the surrounding Horry and Georgetown County areas. Wherever you’re parked for Bike Week, I can most likely get a rig to you.
