Wonderful park and campground but don't come here if the heart of Myrtle beach atmosphere is what you're looking for. This is a very serene place with no commercial entertainment. The only reason I did not rate it a 10 is because due to trees in the way it made getting through the campground difficult. A "few" trees need to be cut to keep RVs from being damaged when maneuvering through the campground and into sites. I watched one camper scrape the side of his trailer on a tree in front of our site while he was leaving the campground. The bathrooms were as most beach bathrooms, a lot of sand in the floors but other than that clean. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Pro's - Very nice beach on the Atlantic, water & electric worked well, nicely stocked camp store. Con's - Many campsites and access roads are very tight for any decent sized rig. Like many state and federal parks, this place was designed for small rigs and tents! I strongly suggest calling to confirm campsite size before making a reservation! According to Reserve America, our campsite was supposed to be "60' length, 60' width. Due to trees and other obstructions, the actual campsite size was about 35' length by 10' width. Spent the better part of an hour maneuvering our 32' 5th wheel between trees, obstructions and other campers' vehicles to get situated. Another camper we spoke with had a 29' 5th wheel that he had torn his roof up trying to maneuver underneath the trees. Some sites get flooded during a rain storm. Another camper had 15 racoons making mayhem with his "pop-up" camper (perhaps some "hunting" on the "island" might help). Bathrooms & showers were somewhat clean but not really cleaned to good standards. Another problem is the very mature Poison Ivy that abounds throughout the campground and no effort is made to control it (I spoke with a park ranger who was absolutely useless in this regard). In addition to the daily use fee of $23., there is a ReserveAmerica transaction fee, accommodation tax, local accommodation tax, transportation tax, increasing the daily fee by 18 pct, over making the daily fee over $27 (still relatively cheap for a campsite near the ocean). Suggest stocking up with food in Port Royal (Publix/Food Lion) before making the 20 mile trek to Hunting Island. Hunting Island is OK for a smaller rig, but keep a close eye on your kids/pets to avoid the poison ivy and racoons. A pretty beach, but don't think we'll be back... We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Wow. If you can get sites in the front by the beach, this is an amazing campground. Location is remote so don't plan on doing much off the island. We stayed 5 days and wanted more. The kids enjoyed the beach daily and adults found it very relaxing. Staff was wonderful. We camped here in a Motorhome.
