Traveling to Hollywood by RV

Highway 162 serves as your main route into Hollywood from both directions, connecting directly to Highway 17 (Savannah Highway) which runs north-south along the coast. From I-95, take Exit 57 for Highway 17 south, then follow it for about 12 miles before turning west on Highway 162. This routing avoids most of Charleston's urban traffic while keeping you on RV-friendly roads.

The roads around Hollywood handle big rigs without major issues, though you'll want to stick to the main highways rather than exploring rural side roads. Highway 162 itself is well-maintained and wide enough for comfortable maneuvering, even with a towed vehicle. No significant bridge height restrictions affect this area, making it accessible for tall motorhomes and fifth wheels.

Overnight parking options are limited in Hollywood proper, so plan your dump station visit during regular business hours rather than counting on late-night access. The nearest Walmart that allows overnight parking sits about 15 miles north in Summerville, while truck stops with RV amenities are found along I-95 corridors. Rest areas on Highway 17 provide short-term stops but don't allow extended parking for RVs.
