Quick Overview

Georgetown sits at the confluence of five rivers on South Carolina's coast, where Spanish moss drapes ancient oaks and shrimp boats still work the same waters their grandfathers fished. This historic port town offers RV travelers something special -- waterfront camping with genuine Lowcountry character, minus the crowds and prices of nearby Myrtle Beach. The area features several RV campgrounds and parks, ranging from full-service resorts to more intimate settings along the Sampit River. While some offer free camping, the paid options deliver solid value with amenities that matter to RVers.

From your campsite, you're perfectly positioned to explore Georgetown's Front Street Historic District, where 18th-century rice plantations tell stories of the region's complex past. The Georgetown County Museum and Rice Museum sit within walking distance of several campgrounds, while Huntington Beach State Park stretches just 16 miles south with pristine beaches and the famous Atalaya Castle ruins. Brookgreen Gardens, America's first sculpture garden, lies 20 minutes away with over 9,000 acres of art, wildlife, and history.

RV travelers here split between those seeking full amenities and others drawn to the area's natural beauty. Full-hookup sites accommodate big rigs comfortably, while waterfront spots let you wake up to sunrise over the marsh. The Georgetown area caters well to RVers who want both convenience and authentic coastal experiences -- you can dump your tanks and stock up on supplies, then spend afternoons watching dolphins from your campsite or exploring blackwater swamps by kayak.

Spring and fall offer the best camping weather, with temperatures in the 70s and lower humidity. Summer brings heat and afternoon thunderstorms, but also the best fishing and fewer crowds than beach destinations further north. Winter stays mild enough for comfortable camping, making this a solid choice for snowbirds seeking an affordable coastal base. Our listings below help you find the right fit for your rig and travel style.

Traveling to Georgetown by RV

US-17 serves as your main route into Georgetown, running directly through town and connecting north to Myrtle Beach (30 miles) and south to Charleston (60 miles). This scenic coastal highway handles RVs well, though you'll encounter several drawbridges -- the Waccamaw River bridge in particular opens for boat traffic during peak boating season. From I-95, take Exit 36 onto US-521 East, which runs 35 miles straight into Georgetown with minimal turns and good sight lines for larger rigs.

The approach from Charleston via US-17 North offers stunning marsh views but includes some narrow sections through small towns like McClellanville. Allow extra time during summer weekends when beach traffic backs up. Coming from the north, US-17 South from Murrells Inlet provides an easier drive with wider shoulders and better RV access to fuel stops.

Stock up on supplies at the Food Lion on Fraser Street or the Walmart in nearby Pawleys Island, about 12 miles south. For fuel, the Shell station at US-17 and Fraser Street accommodates big rigs, while the Speedway on Church Street offers easier access for smaller RVs. The Georgetown area lacks major truck stops, so plan your fuel stops accordingly. Cell service runs strong throughout the area on all major carriers, and most campgrounds offer reliable WiFi for those working on the road.

Explore the Georgetown Area

For the best overall experience, choose a campground along the Sampit River waterfront -- you'll pay slightly more but gain direct water access and better sunset views. These spots fill up quickly during spring and fall, so book at least two weeks ahead. Boondockers should explore the Francis Marion National Forest, about 45 minutes inland, where dispersed camping is allowed in designated areas with proper permits.

Don't miss the Georgetown Harbor Walk, easily accessible from downtown campgrounds. The wooden boardwalk stretches along the Sampit River and connects to several restaurants where you can dock a small boat if your campground provides water access. For the best seafood, locals recommend The Rice Paddy on Front Street -- it's walking distance from several RV parks and serves excellent she-crab soup.

Bring your fishing gear. The area's rivers and creeks produce red drum, flounder, and trout year-round, with fall offering the best action. Most campgrounds can recommend local guides or provide information about public boat ramps. Photography enthusiasts should plan early morning visits to Huntington Beach State Park for wildlife shots -- the entrance fee covers multiple days if you keep your receipt.

Pet owners will find Georgetown very dog-friendly, with several waterfront areas perfect for leashed walks. The Georgetown Harborwalk allows pets, and many restaurants with outdoor seating welcome well-behaved dogs. Just watch for alligators near freshwater areas -- they're common but typically avoid people.
