There is a specific feeling you get when you cross the county line into the Grand Strand. The air gets a little saltier, the pace slows down, and you know you’re about to trade your daily commute for ocean views. At Cozy Turtle RV Rentals, we live for that feeling.
We have spent years delivering our RVs to campgrounds all over South Carolina, but there is a special place in our hearts for Myrtle Beach Travel Park. It isn’t just a place to park a camper; it’s a community where memories are made. As we look ahead to 2026, we see a year full of potential for families, couples, and snowbirds looking to escape the grind.
If you are planning your 2026 vacation calendar, you might be wondering where to go. You want somewhere safe, fun, and easy. We believe Myrtle Beach Travel Park checks every single box. Whether you are a seasoned RVer or looking to rent your very first unit, this destination offers a mix of relaxation and excitement that is hard to beat.
Here is why we think this should be your top destination for 2026, and how we can help you get there without the stress of towing or setting up.
1. Myrtle Beach Travel Park Makes Myrtle Beach Travel Easy
Myrtle Beach Travel Made Simple at Myrtle Beach Travel Park
When you plan a vacation, the last thing you want to worry about is logistics. One of the biggest reasons we recommend Myrtle Beach Travel Park is its sheer convenience. Location is everything when it comes to Myrtle Beach travel. You don’t want to spend your precious vacation hours sitting in traffic on Kings Highway just to get to the sand.
At this park, you are oceanfront. You wake up, open the door of your Cozy Turtle RV, and you can hear the waves crashing. You are steps away from the beach, meaning you can easily run back to the camper for a forgotten sunscreen bottle or a fresh sandwich without packing up the whole car.
Furthermore, we take the “easy” factor a step further. When you rent with Cozy Turtle, we handle the heavy lifting. We offer free delivery and full setup at Myrtle Beach Travel Park. That means you don’t have to tow a massive trailer or worry about backing it into a tight spot while your family watches. We park it, level it, hook up the power and water, and even get the AC running before you arrive. You just show up and start your vacation.
2. You’re Right Near the Best of Myrtle Beach
Why We Love Camping Close to Myrtle Beach
While relaxation is key, sometimes you want a little action. Myrtle Beach Travel Park sits in a “Goldilocks” zone. You are far enough away from the downtown noise to sleep soundly, but close enough to be part of the action within minutes.
You are a short drive from the famous Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, where you can ride the SkyWheel or grab a bite at a beachfront bar. Broadway at the Beach is also nearby, offering incredible shopping, Ripley’s Aquarium, and nightlife options.
For families, this proximity is a lifesaver. If the kids get bored with the sand (it happens!), Myrtle Beach Hosts activites like mini-golf, go-karts, and water parks right at your fingertips. Staying here means you have the freedom to choose between a lazy day at the campsite or an exciting night on the town without committing to a long drive.
3. North Myrtle Beach & Little River Are Just Minutes Away
Explore North Myrtle Beach and Little River
If the bright lights of the main strip aren’t your style, looking north offers a completely different vibe. One of the best perks of Myrtle Beach Travel Park is its easy access to North Myrtle Beach and Little River.
These areas are known for a slightly slower pace. North Myrtle Beach is famous for Shag dancing and wide, beautiful beaches. Just a bit further north is Little River, a historic fishing village known for its fresh seafood and the famous Blue Crab Festival.
For our renters who love fishing or golfing, this location is strategic. You can book a deep-sea fishing charter out of Little River or hit one of the many championship golf courses in the area. It is perfect for couples looking for a romantic waterfront dinner or retirees who want to enjoy the coastal atmosphere without the high energy of the central tourist districts.
4. The Best Month to Visit Myrtle Beach (Our Honest Take)
What Is the Best Month to Visit Myrtle Beach?
Many people assume July is the only time to go to the beach, but we are going to let you in on a local secret: the shoulder seasons are magical.
If you are planning for 2026, consider looking at May or September. In May, the flowers are blooming, the water is warming up, and the summer crowds haven’t fully arrived yet. September and October are equally fantastic; the ocean is still warm from the summer sun, but the humidity breaks, leaving you with crisp, comfortable evenings perfect for sitting by a campfire.
Of course, if you have school-aged children, summer is the classic choice. The energy is high, everything is open, and the days are long. However, if you have flexibility, booking a Cozy Turtle RV in the spring or fall can give you a more relaxed experience and often better availability at the campground.
5. How Many Days Is Enough in Myrtle Beach?
How Long Should You Spend on a Myrtle Beach Vacation?
We often get asked, “Is a weekend enough?” While a weekend getaway is better than no getaway, we highly suggest booking at least five to seven days to truly decompress.
When you stay in a hotel, you might feel cramped after day three. But in an RV, you have your own living space, kitchen, and outdoor area. This makes longer stays much more comfortable. A week gives you enough time to have “beach days” where you do nothing but read a book by the water, and “adventure days” where you explore the local attractions.
For our snowbird friends or remote workers, 2026 might be the year you try a two-week or month-long stay. With the high-speed internet options available at many parks and the comfort of our modern units (equipped with coffee makers and fully stocked kitchens), working from the beach has never been easier.
6. Why Myrtle Beach Travel Park Beats Hotels & Resorts
A Better Beach Vacation Than Hotel Rooms
Let’s be honest: hotel rooms can feel sterile. You are trapped in a small square box, you hear your neighbors in the hallway, and you have to take an elevator just to get outside.
Camping at Myrtle Beach Travel Park offers a totally different experience. You have your own front yard. You can grill burgers on the Blackstone griddle (available as an add-on!) while your kids ride bikes safely around the loop. You have access to incredible amenities like pools, lazy rivers, and community activities that hotels just can’t match.
It is also a cost-effective choice. When you rent an RV, you have a full kitchen. You can cook breakfast and lunch in the unit, saving your budget for nice dinners out. Plus, having separate sleeping areas—like the bunkhouses in our Grand Design models—means everyone gets a good night’s sleep.
7. Is Myrtle Beach Really a Red Flag? Let’s Clear That Up
Why Myrtle Beach Is Not a Red Flag Destination
You may have seen videos online or heard rumors questioning if Myrtle Beach is a “red flag” destination. We want to clear the air. Like any major tourist destination in the world, there are busy areas and quiet areas.
Myrtle Beach Travel Park is a gated, secure, family-oriented environment. It feels like a neighborhood. The staff is attentive, and the fellow campers are there for the same reason you are: to have safe, clean fun.
Choosing to stay in a campground rather than a budget motel on the strip completely changes the safety dynamic of your trip. You are in a controlled environment surrounded by families. We have delivered countless RVs here, and our customers consistently report feeling safe, welcomed, and relaxed.
8. Why Do People Call It ‘Dirty Myrtle’?
Why Myrtle Beach Deserves a Fresh Look
The nickname “Dirty Myrtle” has been around for decades, but the city has worked hard to shed that image. Originally, it referred to a carefree, slightly rough-around-the-edges party vibe from the 80s and 90s.
In 2026, that nickname is more of an affectionate inside joke than a reality. The Grand Strand has seen massive investment in infrastructure, cleanliness, and family-friendly attractions. The beaches are monitored for water quality, the boardwalks are well-maintained, and there is a renewed sense of community pride.
Don’t let an old nickname scare you off. The Myrtle Beach of today is vibrant, clean, and welcoming to travelers of all ages.
9. Myrtle Beach Travel Park Is Perfect for Families & Pets
A Family-Friendly & Pet-Friendly Beach Vacation
If you have a dog, you know the struggle of finding a pet-friendly hotel. They are rare, expensive, and usually have strict weight limits.
Myrtle Beach Travel Park and Cozy Turtle RV Vacation Rentals love pets! We believe your fur-babies are part of the family and deserve a vacation too. The park offers great areas for walking dogs, and our RVs are pet-friendly.
For families with human kids, the benefits are even greater. The park environment allows kids to be kids. They can make friends with the neighbors, ride scooters, and play outdoors from sunrise to sunset. It is the kind of freedom that is hard to find in a standard resort setting.
10. Why Visiting in 2026 Is the Perfect Time
Why 2026 Is the Year to Visit Myrtle Beach
Myrtle Beach is not slowing down. Every year brings new restaurants, updated exciting attractions, and better events. 2026 promises to be a year of continued growth for the Grand Strand.
By planning your 2026 trip now, you get the pick of the litter. The best campsites and the newest RV models book up fast. There is a lot of excitement building around travel for the coming years, as people prioritize experiences over things.
Don’t let another year slip by saying “maybe next summer.” Make 2026 the year you finally take that dream camping trip.
