This guide covers saltwater surf fishing and pier camping spots Myrtle Beach visitors most often compare, assembled from structured CityPlaceList location data rather than first-hand visits. The list mixes dedicated fishing piers, oceanfront campgrounds and RV resorts in the Myrtle Beach area, plus a small number of parks and campgrounds outside the immediate Grand Strand that appear in the same dataset and are clearly labelled by city and state so you can judge them on distance.
Because the dataset supplies categories, addresses, ratings and review counts, that is exactly what is compared here. Nothing in this article asserts an amenity, an opening hour, a price, a fishing policy or a personal experience unless it appears in the supplied record. Where a field was missing, such as a city, a state or a thumbnail, it is omitted rather than guessed.
Use the ratings and review volumes as a rough signal of how many people have engaged with each place, not as proof of quality. Two piers with similar scores can carry very different review bases, and review counts move over time. Read the entries in order, then check the entries whose city and state actually fit your trip.

Sun Outdoors Myrtle Beach is listed as an RV park in Conway, SC, at 5800 SC-90, Conway, SC 29526, United States. It holds a 4.4 rating from 2,157 reviews. The supplied city is Conway rather than Myrtle Beach, so it sits inland of the beachfront entries in this list while remaining part of the same regional dataset. Its rating is mid-range for this group, but its review volume is among the higher ones, which makes it a frequently engaged option for travellers comparing RV-oriented stays against the pier and campground entries here.

Myrtle Beach KOA Resort is recorded as a campground at 613 5th Ave S, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577, United States, with a 4.3 rating from 2,039 reviews. The supplied address places it on the Myrtle Beach grid rather than on the outlying highway corridor, and the 29577 postal code matches the one attached to the Myrtle Beach State Park Pier entry. Its rating is the lowest in this set, though the review base is substantial, which usually means a well-known name with a broad mix of visitor feedback rather than a quiet, lightly reviewed property.

Apache Pier is categorized as a fishing pier in Myrtle Beach, SC 29572, United States, and holds a 4.5 rating from 2,501 reviews.

Hagan-Stone Park is listed as a park at 5920 Hagan-Stone Park Rd, Pleasant Garden, NC 27313, United States, with a 4.7 rating from 2,004 reviews. The supplied city and state place it in North Carolina, well outside the Myrtle Beach area, so it should be treated as a separate trip rather than a stop on a Grand Strand itinerary. It is included because it appears in the same dataset and scores highly, and because park listings of this kind are often compared against coastal alternatives during trip planning.

St. Petersburg / Madeira Beach KOA Holiday is listed as a campground at 5400 95th St N, St. Petersburg, FL 33708, United States, rated 4.5 from 1,864 reviews. The supplied city and state place it in Florida on the Gulf coast, far from Myrtle Beach, so it belongs to a different coastline entirely and should be read as a comparison entry rather than a local option. Its review count is the second smallest in this dataset, and its rating sits in the middle of the range across all twelve records.

Giant Springs State Park is recorded as a state park at 4803 Giant Springs Rd, Great Falls, MT 59405, rated 4.8 from 2,727 reviews. No thumbnail image was supplied for this entry. The Montana location puts it far outside the Myrtle Beach area, so it reads as a separate regional option rather than part of a coastal trip.

Bass Lake Park is categorized as a park at 900 Bass Lake Rd, Holly Springs, NC 27540, United States, with a 4.8 rating from 1,946 reviews. No thumbnail image was supplied for this record.

How We Selected These Places
Selection was driven by the supplied records only. Candidates were grouped by category, so fishing piers, campgrounds, RV parks and parks are easy to tell apart at a glance. Geographic relevance was assessed from the supplied city, state and address fields: entries in Myrtle Beach, Conway and the surrounding South Carolina coast were treated as core results, while entries in North Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Minnesota and Montana are listed but explicitly identified as outside the Myrtle Beach area. Ranking weight was given to rating first, then to review volume, since a 4.8 built on over 3,000 reviews carries a different weight than a 4.9 on a smaller base. No location was visited, tested, photographed or verified on site, and no amenities, hours, prices, fishing regulations or services were inferred. Any field absent from the source data was left out entirely rather than filled in.
Tips
Treat the ratings and review counts here as a starting filter, not a verdict, and confirm current details directly with each pier, campground or park before you commit to a trip. Categories in this dataset are broad, so a park listing and a fishing pier listing are not interchangeable when you are planning around water access. Pay attention to the supplied city and state on each entry, because several records in this list sit in North Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Minnesota and Montana rather than South Carolina. Where a record was missing a city, a state or an image, that information was left blank on purpose. Review counts shift over time, so re-check before quoting a figure. If you are combining a pier visit with a camping stay, compare the postal codes in the addresses, since the Myrtle Beach entries cluster across 29572 and 29577 with one Conway record at 29526. Finally, plan for coastal weather and seasonal demand in general terms, and verify any policy, fee or access rule with the operator rather than relying on a directory listing.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Which entries in this list are actual fishing piers?
- Three records carry the fishing pier category: Apache Pier in Myrtle Beach, SC; 2nd Ave Pier, whose supplied address is just the name with no city or state; and, by name and shoreline position, Myrtle Beach State Park Pier, which is categorized as a park rather than a fishing pier in the source data. The remaining entries are campgrounds, RV parks and state or local parks.
- How many of these locations are actually in Myrtle Beach?
- Of the twelve records, the Myrtle Beach entries are Myrtle Beach State Park Pier, Myrtle Beach KOA Resort, Apache Pier, Myrtle Beach Travel Park and 2nd Ave Pier, though 2nd Ave Pier has no supplied city or state and is included on the strength of its name and coordinates only. Sun Outdoors Myrtle Beach is in Conway, SC. The rest are in North Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Minnesota and Montana.
- Which Myrtle Beach entry has the most reviews?
- Myrtle Beach State Park Pier leads with 3,075 reviews and a 4.8 rating, followed by 2nd Ave Pier at 3,012 reviews and a 4.4 rating, then Apache Pier at 2,501 reviews and a 4.5 rating. Among the camping and RV entries, Myrtle Beach Travel Park has 2,187 reviews at 4.7, Sun Outdoors Myrtle Beach has 2,157 at 4.4, and Myrtle Beach KOA Resort has 2,039 at 4.3.
- Does this list confirm amenities like surf fishing access, campsites or hookups?
- No. The dataset supplies name, category, address, rating, review count and, in most cases, an image and coordinates. It does not contain amenity lists, hookup details, fishing rules, opening hours or pricing, so none of that is stated here. Confirm those details directly with each location before you travel.
- How were these twelve locations ordered?
- They appear in the order supplied by the system, not re-ranked by score. Selection commentary in the methodology reflects rating first and review volume second, but the sequence itself was not rearranged. Entries outside the Myrtle Beach area are identified by their supplied city and state so you can filter them out yourself.
Conclusion
The strongest signal in this dataset is straightforward: Myrtle Beach State Park Pier combines the top rating with the largest review base, with Apache Pier and 2nd Ave Pier forming the rest of the pier group and Myrtle Beach Travel Park, Sun Outdoors Myrtle Beach and Myrtle Beach KOA Resort covering the camping and RV side of the Myrtle Beach area. Everything beyond South Carolina is a comparison point, not a local stop. Use these saltwater surf fishing and pier camping spots Myrtle Beach records as a shortlist, verify current details with each operator, and let the supplied city, state and review counts do the filtering that a directory cannot do for you.
