These Campgrounds Make Fall Camping in Myrtle Beach Unforgettable
When autumn rolls in, Myrtle Beach doesn’t wind down — it simply transforms. The sun still shines warm and bright, with daytime temps dancing in the 70s and 80s, and the Atlantic Ocean lingers near summer-like warmth well into October.
As the summer crowds drift away, a calmer magic settles over the coastline. Campgrounds swap splashy summer scenes for cozy campfires, tricked-out hayrides, and festive fall flair. Off-season perks mean fewer lines, lower rates, and a front-row seat to nature’s slow, golden show.
Whether you’re chasing spooky weekend thrills or just craving crisp mornings and quiet starry nights, these seven campgrounds each offer their own kind of fall charm — and a reason to pitch your tent or park the RV before winter sets in.
5901 S. Kings Hwy, Myrtle Beach
Nestled on half a square mile of Grand Strand beachfront, Lakewood is a massive family-friendly resort.

The park provides full hook-ups, Wi-Fi, a camp store, plus villa and cabin rentals. In the cooler months, guests can still take advantage of the indoor pool and year-round activities (like worship services and fitness classes) to keep the whole family entertained.

Travel Park boasts over half a mile of Atlantic beachfront where gentle breezes and sunny days invite camping comfort. The resort’s amenities are outstanding – there’s an outdoor pool with sun deck, a lazy river and splash pool, plus a heated indoor pool for cooler days. A freshwater fishing lake, playgrounds and beach volleyball keep visitors busy. In fall, the crowd thins and parents can relax by the water or stroll nature trails while the kids bike around or cast lines in the lake.

260 Old Crane Road, Little River
A waterfront escape, this luxury RV resort sits right on the Intracoastal Waterway with unbeatable water views. The oversized full-hookup sites are just steps from a 60-slip marina with rentals of boats, jet skis and kayaks. On-site fun includes a giant pool (with a 150-foot water slide and waterfall), a kid’s splash pad, and North Myrtle Beach’s only double FlowRider surf simulator. In fall the weather cools just enough to enjoy the water activities without summer heat, making boating and fishing from the resort’s docks especially pleasant.
- Fall Fun: Hosts a public Halloween “Haunted Tiki” event in October. While additional fall events are limited, the marina and warm-weather amenities make it a peaceful seasonal retreat.
2600 S. Kings Hwy, Myrtle Beach
Ocean Lakes is one of America’s largest and most awarded campgrounds, sprawling along a full mile of beachfront. Its centerpiece is the Sandy Harbor Family Fun Center – a huge adventure zone with multiple water attractions (lazy river, drop slides, splash pool) plus indoor and outdoor pools. The park also has mini-golf, a marina, and game rooms for year-round fun. By fall, the Atlantic waters and pools are cooler but still swimmable, and the long sandy beach is quiet. Seasonal events keep the spirit alive – for example, Ocean Lakes runs four “Halloweekends” in October with haunted bingo, crafts, scavenger hunts and costume contests for guests.
-
Fall Fun: Each October, Halloweekends transform the park with themed activities. The campground also hosts a Fall Craft Fair in September and a “Christmas at Thanksgiving” holiday event.

Guests have easy beach access (no driving needed) plus amenities like volleyball and an on-site café. In the off-season the weather is pleasant and the beach is practically all yours.
