Great wooded and spacious sites making for easy parking and privacy. Roads were potholed - was informed by park staff that they will be paving the main campground roads (but not sites) very soon. Very narrow beach, but beautiful. Enjoyed a walk around Atalaya Mansion and running around the park on the boardwalks through the salt marsh and nature trail to Sandpiper pond (an interdune pond). It was rainy while we were there, but still got out and enjoyed nature's bounty. Great place to view egrets, though missed out on the gators. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Second time here and we had a great stay again. We try to get a site on the first loop so we are close to the beach walkway, bathrooms, and a short distance to the camp store. The beach is very close and just one of the greatest beaches we have ever been to. The kids played at the beach every day and we visited the nature center almost every afternoon for one of talks that the staff there gives on the local marine life. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Decent State Park - were told our site and unable to have it when we arrived. Nice beach - enjoyed just the quiet of it. Have FHU but apparently have to book way in advance. If you want an ocean front Park - this is a nice one to stay at. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park. This was our 4th time at this campground and we intend on returning. The park rangers do a spectacular job keeping the restrooms clean. The walk to the beach isn't far at all. You can hear the ocean from your site at night. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Nice large sites. Some shaded, but would probably be very hot in summer. Staff was very nice and the beach was a short walk over the dunes and was great. Only problem was dust. Roads are dirt and it had been dry for some time. Would have gotten a 10 if not for that. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Fairly typical state park campground. Sites tend to be in open areas with limited trees for shade. This would be a rather hot place in summer weather. Beautiful natural area with very long and isolated beach to enjoy. Prefer the campsites at Myrtle Beach State Park but this park is much more separated from the noise of the MB urban area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is our 3rd time staying at this park right after Christmas. I have always rated it higher than this year's rating, as the campground has always been just so pretty and the beach and park are just great. This year they did a poor job with communicating with fellow campers. We were there from 12/30/06-1/4/07. We were in the office on 3 separate occasions and there were no notices of the main road/causeway being closed on 1/4/07. The only way out of this park was down a narrow road with overhanging branches that was built during the early 1930s. They did trim them the day before though, so we did not get our truck or camper scratched up. The day before we were leaving, a newly checked in camper informed us that they were asked to help with "flagging" the morning of the 4th around 9 am. That was when they assumed the road was going to be closed. Now, bear in mind, no signs were posted and no mention of this closure was made during the time we were there. We arose at 4:30 am and got the truck and trailer ready to go by 8 am. We rode over to the causeway and there was tape and cones blocking the road and that was after we drove the 1/4 mile from the campground. The road was blocked with digging equipment. We were stuck. One very nice ranger, who was not directly assigned to the campground and park, was kind enough to assist us. The regular park rangers were of no help whatsoever. We finally were led to the one way out, which was an 8-10' wide drive that no one closed off the incoming traffic. So there was two way traffic on a road which barely could hold one. This was so inconsiderate of the park employees. They could have had flagmen directing traffic in the morning. They should have posted flyers throughout the campground or informed fellow campers who were checking in and were leaving on that scheduled day. What a mess. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We loved it. Even though we were out of season, the campground stayed pretty full the week we were there. A really great state run campground. A lot of space between camp sites. Neat & clean. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I found out about Huntington Beach State Park when I did an online search for campgrounds along the Grand Strand. The campground at HBSP was very nice and seemed to be well maintained. Most of the sites had more than adequate shade, but were also accommodating for even the largest of RVs. We stayed in a pop-up camper with our two dogs, a pitbull/chow cross and a German shepherd dog. The campground is laid out very well. The sites are situated such that campers are not crammed in on top of one another, and there was plenty of room for our two dogs to be tied on 20 foot long tie outs without being in the way of other campers or getting tangled up in each other's lines. The campground appears to be extremely dog friendly, with 'poop bag stations' in several locations in case you forget to bring a bag with you when you walk your dog. There were many, many campers there with dogs. Beach access is easily accessible to everyone, including people in wheelchairs or parents with strollers, via a raised boardwalk from the campground all the way to the beach. There was a floodlight on the side of the bath house, which made me feel safe going to the bathroom during the night, as it lit up the area very well, without being obtrusive and shining directly into the campsites. The bath house that was near our campsite needed to be updated. There were some cracked and loose tiles on the floor, and green stuff growing in a couple of the faucet heads, both at the sinks and the showers. There was indication of mildew/mold on the benches at the showers themselves, and the tile grout in the showers needed to be scrubbed because it looked dirty. There was also little privacy for those taking a shower. The only curtain was for the shower itself, so you had to undress and dress either in the shower behind the curtain, or out in the open for whoever walked by to see. I overheard other campers saying that the other bath house was newer and better, but I did not see it for myself. The toilets, countertops, and sinks appeared clean. We and other campers did use our Lysol spray in the shower areas, though. Atalaya 'Castle,' the winter home of Arthur and Anna Hyatt Huntington, is open to the public and can be toured alone or with a guide. Brookgreen Gardens is across the street on the opposite side of Hwy 17, and requires at least one full day to see everything there. Myrtle Beach is about 10 miles up the coast, and Georgetown is to the Southwest. Not directly related to the campground, I did want to say that the Sandpiper Pond trail needs some work. I was not impressed with it at all. The pond is grown up and so are the viewing sites, so we really only got to see the pond at the beginning of the trail, at the first raised viewing area. It's a fairly long trail, and is a bit confusing, because it was not well marked. The freshwater lagoon and saltwater marsh, on the other hand, provide excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. We saw several alligators, herons and other birds. The Education Center at HBSP provides some good programs and 'excursions' that are fun for young and old. We camped here in a Tent.

This was our 3rd visit to Huntington Beach SP and will be our last! Our site was next to a marsh, which made mosquitos pretty bad. That isn't the park's fault. My score comes primarily from the filthy bathrooms! On both days we were there the bathrooms hadn't been cleaned. There was water and grass everywhere, feces stains in the toilets, and the showers were full of mold. This place needed an overhaul. We will not be returning! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This campground is wonderful. Nice large sites with wonderful areas to bike around. The Education Center is not just for the children we also found it very informative of the marine life out there. There is a camp store that has a good little variety of things, most of the things are not outrageously priced. The Atalaya Castle was neat to walk through everyone enjoyed it. All of the staff there were very kind.The only downfall for this place was the restrooms. They are "old", the showers were filthy fortunately though we did not go to camp in the bath house. A great place for the price. We will definitely be back every year. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

My kids and I camped in a tent at Huntington Island, it was a great park for a family. Of course the beach (which is a few minute walk) was wonderful, and the Education Center at the State Park was a lot of fun. There are several Nature Programs offered daily that were great. I can't say enough good things. We camped here in a Tent.

Another wonderful South Carolina state park. The sites are really spacious. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We arrived during a downpour and some of the sites were flooded. There was heavy flooding around some of the sewer connections at those sites that had them. Some sites were shaded and some were out in the open which would most likely be very hot in the summer months. There is direct beach access from the campground with the beach being about 300 yards away. Although the campground was almost full during our stay, the beach itself was deserted. There were three dump stations located at exit but one was closed for some reason. Roads and pads are gravel and were level for the most part. Big rigs can easily maneuver around the park. We will go back here again. We were in a 30' travel trailer. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I loved this place! A short walk to the beach where you could ride your bikes or hike out to the jetty. It is clean, very picturesque and apparently in the summer, they have lots of programs for families to learn about the park and nature. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We camped at this park in 1999 with 2 small children and had a great experience. The bathrooms back then were somewhat primitive. We visited the park in 2004 and found that they had built a new campground here and closed the old one. We checked it out and it was great! The bathhouses were clean and the sites were awesome. It's not as close to the ocean as the old sites - ours was backed into the dunes and the ocean was right on the other side. We loved it though. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Really enjoyed this State Park. No waterfront but close walk to beach. Something for every member of the family. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a nice state park. The beach area is good also. It also is in part of the beach where there aren't as many people if you are not into crowds. My wife, daughter and chinese crested stayed here in 2001 and again in 2003 and found the place to be very well maintained and beautiful. You can see aligators up close and personal here. The good and the bad, depending on how you see it, it that it takes about 20 moinutes to get to Myrtle Beach downtown from the park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great for the nature lover. Big wide sites, Salt water marshes, fresh water lagoons, beach and ocean. Nature trails. Great birding. Brookgreen gardens is directly across on HWY. 17. and easy to get to on bicycles. We enjoy it in the off season when it's cooler and no mosquitos. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Beautiful state park located on the beach south of Myrtle Beach. Sites are not on the beach but within easy walking distance. Divided into two sections. Note: During a visit in November 2001, looks like the southern section is being dismantled so the number of sites may be reduced. 24 sites of sewer, the rest are water & electric. Great biking in the park trails or on the beach. Very nice nature programs. We camped here in a camper.

Nice campground on the beach. Near Myrtle Beach. Nicer than Myrtle Beach State Park. Great seafood restaurants nearby. Sewer hookups on 24 sites. We camped here in a camper.
