Myrtle Beach Travel Park is listed as both an RV park and a campground at 10108 Kings Rd, Myrtle Beach, SC 29572, in the northern stretch of South Carolina's Grand Strand. Its Google listing carries an average rating of 4.7 across 2,187 reviews, and the visitor comments behind that score lean heavily on the same handful of subjects: the people at the gate, the state of the bath houses, how close the sand actually is, and how well the pools and playground keep children busy.
This review pulls together what the public listing records about the property and what named guests have written in their own words. It does not claim a personal stay, an inspection, or any figure that the source data does not contain. Where the record is thin on something like rates, opening hours or seasonal operations, that gap is stated rather than filled in.
Myrtle Beach Travel Park at a Glance
The property is catalogued as an RV park and campground rather than a hotel, and it sits along Kings Road with the ocean side of the Grand Strand as its backdrop. Anyone planning a stay can reach the park on +1 800-255-3568 or through its site at myrtlebeachtravelpark.com, and the listing pins the grounds at coordinates 33.7777 and -78.7736 in the America/New_York time zone. Guests who have written about it describe a layout that splits roughly into two moods: sites pushed toward the dune and the beach, and a calmer wooded and lake-side area further in.
The listing's activity tags point to RV camping with a camping fee, camping cabins, hiking and a fishing pier, and reviewers add detail the tags cannot: there is a general store, several bath and shower houses, laundry, ice lockers, indoor and outdoor pools with a lazy river and splash pools, a playground, an arcade, and small eateries and coffee kiosks on site. Whether you arrive in your own rig or rent a camper or bungalow, the record supports a place built around long, slow stays rather than overnight stops.
What Do Visitors Like About Myrtle Beach Travel Park?
Across the reviews collected here, sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with the great majority of guests awarding full marks and describing repeat visits that stretch back years. The recurring praise is not about luxury but about upkeep and people: guests write that the bath houses, general store and grounds are clean, that staff are friendly and accommodating, and that the beach, pools and playground give families plenty to do. A smaller set of comments introduces friction, mostly around arrival logistics, booking two sites online, standing water on some sites after heavy rain, and the distance from certain sites to the bath houses. Those notes are isolated opinions, not a pattern the source data can generalise.
1. Staff who set the tone of the stay
Almost every detailed review mentions the people working the property, and the most repeated name is Que, the daytime attendant at the security gate. Cody Hollaway called her one of the favourite people to see coming in and out of the park and praised her smile, while Lori Bodenheimer credited her with making the place feel like home, and Penelopee Turner went as far as recommending a raise so the park never lets her go. Linda Halloran added Kat at the same gate as another consistently friendly face, and J Camooso remembered the daytime security guard's morning wave.
The praise extends past the gate. nancy Woodcock wrote that staff moved her RV when the assigned site would have sat in blazing sun, Denny Dalessandro described staff helping through a difficult trip the previous year and said the security team was the friendliest bunch he had met, and Krista Crosby, visiting with a Scouting group, called the reception courteous, friendly and helpful. One counterpoint exists: john hall reported a rude front desk exchange on a late arrival, which he attributed to arriving close to closing time.
2. Cleanliness and well-kept grounds
Upkeep is the second dominant theme. Cody Hollaway wrote that everything is always clean from the bath house to the general store, Denny Dalessandro described the grounds as immaculate with staff visible everywhere keeping them up, and nancy Woodcock called the facilities clean, bright and updated. Millene Dias and Linda Halloran both described the campground as clean.
Showers drew specific notice because they are often the deciding factor for RV guests. Denny Dalessandro admitted he normally refuses campground showers and uses his own, but said these were clean and not disgusting. Chrissy Hightower singled out the shower facilities and their water pressure, and Diane Shanahan described the bathhouse nearest her site as clean.
3. Beach access, pools and things for children
Families write about the water most. J Camooso said the beach was a short walk and rated the pool as probably the best for small children in the area, mentioning fun activities, a good-sized playground and an arcade, plus a layout where young children could ride bikes safely. Krista Crosby described indoor and outdoor pools, a lazy river and splash pools that were clean and attended by lifeguards. Denny Dalessandro put his beachfront site at under a hundred yards from the sand and described walking out of the camper door onto the beach at low tide in the evening.
The children's programme also came up. Ryan Ruebesam wrote about a six-year-old attending a weekday camp running from 9am to 11am Monday to Friday, praising staff for helping a shy child come out of her shell and for giving her a children's Bible with a handwritten message. Diane Shanahan found the beach a bit of a walk but doable, and nancy Woodcock, while calling the stay accommodating, suggested a small shuttle for older guests hauling items back and forth in the heat.
4. Beachside sites versus the lake and woods
The listing splits activity tags between beach-oriented and nature-oriented use, and reviewers confirm that the choice of site changes the experience. Millene Dias said she would choose a spot next to the lake rather than the beach next time because of wind and extreme heat, and described a lake area with turtles and fish. Scott Grandon described a large pond and lake area for guests who prefer a wooded setting, with sites closer to the dune and beach as the alternative.
Heat is a practical consideration reviewers raise without prompting. Denny Dalessandro noted that South Carolina sun in July is no joke, that his three air conditioners were fully used, and advised that a larger rig with only one AC would be better placed in the wooded area. john hall found the sites a little cramped but had no trouble getting his camper in, while Denny Dalessandro described sites as big with neighbours not crowding you.
5. Everyday conveniences and connectivity
Several reviewers describe a self-contained park. Scott Grandon listed a general store, multiple bathroom and shower houses, laundry, ice lockers for clean ice, indoor and outdoor pools, a lazy river, and a couple of small eateries with coffee shop kiosks. Millene Dias said the store carries a little bit of everything you need, and Diane Shanahan noted her site was easily accessible to the camp store, pool and bathhouse.
Wi-Fi, which the listing records as free, was singled out by Linda Halloran as great and consistent, a detail she said the couple appreciates. Cody Hollaway's mention of the general store being kept clean suggests the retail side receives the same attention as the washrooms.
6. Booking, arrival and small frictions
The complaints in this set cluster around logistics rather than the park itself. john hall arrived at 6:50pm for check-in without knowing the front desk closed at 7pm and described being scolded for making staff restart the computer; he still said the rest of the stay was pleasant and that he would probably return. Chrissy Hightower booked two sites in one online order for herself and a cousin driving from the opposite direction and reported being phoned and reprimanded for not booking them separately, adding that the website gives no field for listing a second name or tag number. She suggested either fixing the site or allowing only one site per booking.
Ground conditions and walking distance produced two more notes. Diane Shanahan recommended building up the land under some campsites because water pooled after heavy rain, and Millene Dias said the bathrooms can be a bit far depending on which site you are assigned. These are individual observations from specific sites and dates, not a description of the whole property.
