RV, Motorhome and Camper Van Rental in Myrtle Beach
The choice runs from compact camper vans that are easy to park near the boardwalk to full-size Class A motorhomes with a kitchen, bathroom and slide-outs. A camper van suits a beach-and-boardwalk-focused trip; a larger motorhome is fine once you’re on US-17 or heading inland toward I-95. Many oceanfront and beachfront campgrounds here fill up well ahead of summer weekends, so vehicle size and site availability are worth checking together.
Rental cost depends mainly on vehicle class, season and rental length — a camper van is consistently the cheaper option, a Class A or large travel trailer the most expensive, and per-night rates usually drop the longer you book. Summer weekends and the Memorial Day to Labor Day stretch push demand and prices up sharply along the whole Grand Strand; enter your dates above for a live quote rather than a generic average.

The SkyWheel, nearly 200 feet tall, anchors the northern end with sweeping coastline views, while Ripley’s Odditorium, the Gay Dolphin Arcade and Fun Plaza fill out an evening of boardwalk classics. Beyond the boardwalk, Broadway at the Beach offers shopping, an aquarium and dining a short drive inland, and the Murrells Inlet MarshWalk to the south is a quieter option for waterfront dining.
Best road trips from Myrtle Beach
- Charleston — about 95 miles south, roughly 1.5–2 hours. Cobblestone streets, historic mansions and one of the South’s best-preserved colonial districts.
- Wilmington, North Carolina — about 75 miles north, roughly 1.5 hours. A historic riverfront downtown and easy access to North Carolina’s beaches.
- The Outer Banks, North Carolina — about 320 miles north, roughly 6 hours. A genuinely long haul but a completely different, wilder stretch of coastline once you’re there; allow several days.
- Congaree National Park — about 130 miles inland, roughly 2.5 hours. Old-growth floodplain forest and a change of pace from the beach.
- Columbia, South Carolina — about 160 miles west, roughly 2.75 hours. The state capital, an easy inland day trip or stopover.
Coastal driving and camping around Myrtle Beach
Hurricane season runs June through November, with the Carolina coast a genuine landfall risk, particularly August through October — check the forecast before committing to a coastal trip in that window, and know that campgrounds along the Grand Strand can order evacuations on short notice ahead of a storm. Summer humidity and heat are significant; afternoon thunderstorms are common June through August. US-17, the main coastal route, gets heavy beach-traffic congestion on summer weekends, especially around shift-change times at rental properties (Saturdays).
When to travel
Memorial Day through Labor Day is peak season and the busiest, priciest stretch for beachfront sites. Late spring (April–May) and early fall (September–October) offer warm weather with noticeably lower crowds and rates, and sit outside the worst of hurricane season’s peak. Winter is mild but many oceanfront campgrounds reduce hours or close.
