Spring RV Camping Destinations For Families

For those of us who live in cold-weather climates, pulling the RV out of winter storage and setting out on a spring road trip for some RV camping is always exciting. (And for those of you who live in southern states where you can easily road trip year round, we’re envious!)

We’ve rounded up four family-friendly destinations for you to consider for your first RV camping trip in the new year. With the unprecedented spike in RV popularity we saw in 2020, it goes without saying that 2021 will likely be another banner year for busy campgrounds. Plan now and book early to secure your perfect spots!

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

It may not be ideal swimming weather on the South Carolina coast in March (with the average high temperature 68 degrees Fahrenheit), but if your kiddos are anything like mine, they’ll find a way to at least dip their toes in the ocean along Myrtle Beach’s 60 miles of shore.

Though the waterparks and water-based activities, like jet skiing, may not be available, there’s still lots for families to do in Myrtle Beach in the spring, such as mini-golf, go-karts, ziplines, a Ferris wheel, giant arcades — and of course simply hanging out on the beach, where you can collect shells, fly kites, and build sandcastles!

Where to camp: Families rave about Pirateland, with its oceanfront spaces. Myrtle Beach KOA has spots that are nestled in an old pine forest, and it offers a complimentary shuttle to the beach, a few blocks away. Ocean Lakes Family Campground is huge — 859 campsites! — and regular visitors recommend renting (or bringing) a golf cart to get around. Myrtle Beach Travel Park is known for its plethora of scheduled activities and a freshwater fishing lake kids love.

Nearby Harvest Host: At the time of this writing, the nearest Host is Silver Coast Winery in Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina, about 36 miles northeast of Myrtle Beach.
