When you close your eyes and picture the perfect vacation, what do you see? Maybe it’s waking up to the sound of water lapping against the dock, spending lazy afternoons by a splash pad, or watching the sunset over the Intracoastal Waterway. If you are already looking ahead to your travel plans, you aren’t alone. Securing your spot early is the best way to guarantee the getaway you deserve.
At Cozy Turtle RV Rentals, we love helping guests turn those daydreams into reality. We specialize in taking the hassle out of camping. Whether you are a seasoned RVer or have never stepped foot in a camper before, our goal is to make your North Myrtle Beach experience seamless, comfortable, and memorable.
You might wonder why we are talking about 2026 so soon. The truth is, the best spots along the Grand Strand book up faster than you might expect. By planning your stay at North Myrtle Beach RV Resort & Dry Dock Marina now, you get your pick of premium sites and the peace of mind that comes with having your vacation locked in.
Let’s explore why this specific resort is the hidden gem of the coast and how we can make your 2026 trip your best one yet.
Why Choose a North Myrtle Beach RV Resort for Your 2026 Stay
If you have visited the Grand Strand before, you know that Myrtle Beach can be high-energy. It is fun, loud, and exciting. However, sometimes you want a vacation that balances that excitement with genuine relaxation. That is where North Myrtle Beach shines.
North Myrtle Beach RV Resort offers a distinct change of pace. Located slightly away from the heavy traffic of the central boulevard, this area allows you to breathe a little deeper. You are still just a short drive from the ocean, but you gain the tranquility of the waterway.
Choosing an RV resort over a standard hotel gives you more than just a place to sleep; it gives you a temporary home. You get separate living areas, a full kitchen to cook family meals, and outdoor space to enjoy your morning coffee. In a hotel, you are often confined to a single room. In an RV, the resort becomes your living room.
For those unfamiliar with the specific geography, the North Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce is a fantastic resource for understanding the layout of the coast and what makes this northern end so unique.
Discover Stress-Free RV Camping
When you choose an RV resort, you aren’t just renting a bed; you are renting a lifestyle. You get community, open air, and a level of freedom that high-rise hotels simply cannot match.
What Makes North Myrtle Beach RV Resort & Dry Dock Marina Special
There are plenty of places to park an RV in South Carolina, but few offer the specific charm of North Myrtle Beach. This resort is uniquely positioned along the Intracoastal Waterway in Little River. It provides a scenic backdrop that feels miles away from the neon lights, even though you are close to the action.
This setting attracts a diverse group of travelers. It is ideal for families who want a safe environment for kids to ride bikes, couples looking for a romantic waterfront retreat, and retirees who want to escape the winter chill. The atmosphere here is calm and friendly. It is the kind of place where neighbors wave to each other and evening walks by the marina become a daily ritual.

Make Memories With Cozy Turtle RVs
We believe the best memories are made when you aren’t stressed about logistics. By handling the delivery and setup of your RV, we let you focus on the important stuff—like whether to hit the pool or the river first.
Modern Amenities Guests Love at North Myrtle Beach RV Resorts
One of the biggest misconceptions about RV camping is that it means “roughing it.” That couldn’t be further from the truth, especially when you look at the modern amenities available here.
North Myrtle Beach RV Resort & Dry Dock Marina is designed for comfort. Guests enjoy full hookups (water, sewer, and electric), ensuring your RV functions exactly like a small apartment. The bathhouses are clean and well-maintained, and on-site laundry facilities mean you don’t have to overpack.
For fun, the resort features a large swimming pool with a splash pad that is a hit with the kids. There is a playground for burning off energy and plenty of common areas for relaxing.
However, the real star here is the water access. The marina offers boat slips and fishing opportunities right on site. If you are interested in casting a line during your stay, make sure you are up to date on local regulations by visiting the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources website.
At Cozy Turtle, we pair these resort amenities with our fully stocked RVs. We provide the coffee maker, the camping chairs, and even the outdoor mats. You get the luxury of the resort combined with the convenience of a turnkey rental.
Getting Around the Resort: Golf Carts, Boats & Easy Access
When staying at a sprawling resort, mobility is key. This is where the golf cart culture comes into play. In North Myrtle Beach, and especially within RV resorts, golf carts are the preferred mode of transportation.
They are convenient for hauling beach gear to the pool, taking laundry to the facilities, or just cruising around to look at other rigs during sunset. Many guests find that renting a golf cart adds a layer of fun to the trip—kids love the rides, and adults love saving their steps.
If you are a boater, the “Dry Dock” part of the resort name is significant. You have easy access to the water, making this a dual-threat destination for RVers who also love the nautical life. Whether you are bringing a vessel or just watching them pass by, the water is a central part of the experience.
For those looking to explore the waterways, you can find information on boat rentals and water safety through Visit Myrtle Beach’s water sports guide.
Bring the Family, We’ll Bring the Comfort
Don’t worry about cramming camping gear into your trunk. With our rentals, you just bring the family and your clothes. We handle the heavy lifting so you can start cruising on the golf cart the moment you arrive.
Family Fun, Relaxation & Things To Do Nearby
While the resort is a haven of relaxation, you are only minutes away from world-class entertainment. Myrtle Beach RV camping puts you in the perfect position to enjoy the best of the Grand Strand without being trapped in traffic.
You are a stone’s throw from Barefoot Landing, a massive complex built along the waterway that features dining, shopping, and live entertainment. It is a perfect evening outing for families or couples. You can browse the shops, grab a great meal, and watch the fireworks in the summer. Check out the Barefoot Landing directory to plan your dining and shopping itinerary.
For the golfers in the family, North Myrtle Beach is known as the golf capital of the world. There are dozens of courses nearby catering to every skill level. If you prefer shopping, the Tanger Outlets are close by on Hwy 17, offering great deals on major brands.
Whether you have teenagers who want adventure, toddlers who need a playground, or grandparents who want a great seafood dinner, this location keeps everyone happy.

Perfect for First-Time Campers (We’ve Got You Covered)
If you have never camped before, the idea of a North Myrtle Beach RV vacation might seem intimidating. How do the full hook ups work? How do I park it? What is a black tank?
At Cozy Turtle, we specialize in helping first-timers. In fact, many of our guests have never set foot in an RV before booking with us. We remove the intimidation factor completely.
First, we deliver and set up the unit for you. You don’t have to drive it or park it. When you arrive, the AC is on, the fridge is cold, and the lights are on.
Second, we offer a full walkthrough upon request. We will show you exactly how to operate the stove, the awning, and the bathroom facilities.
Third, we are just a phone call or text away. If you forget how to work the TV remote or need help with the water heater, our local team is ready to assist. You get the adventure of camping with the safety net of professional support.
Pack Light — We’ll Handle the Rest
We include kitchen essentials, cleaning supplies, and even toilet paper. Your job is to relax; our job is to handle the logistics.
Pet-Friendly Camping at North Myrtle Beach
For many of us, a family vacation isn’t complete without the four-legged family members. One of the primary reasons people choose RV travel over flying is the ability to bring pets.
North Myrtle Beach RV Resort is a pet-friendly destination. There is plenty of green space for walking dogs, and the relaxed atmosphere is perfect for pets who might be anxious in a crowded hotel elevator.
Our Cozy Turtle RVs are pet-friendly because we know that dogs love the beach just as much as humans do. We just ask that you follow the resort’s leash rules and clean up after your furry friends. For a guide on other dog-friendly spots in the area, BringFido’s North Myrtle Beach guide is an excellent resource to bookmark.
Planning Ahead for 2026: Why Early Booking Matters
It might seem like 2026 is far off, but in the world of popular RV Resort destinations, it is right around the corner.
North Myrtle Beach sees peak demand during the summer months (June through August). However, the “shoulder seasons” of spring and fall are becoming increasingly popular due to the milder weather and festivals. Furthermore, “Snowbird season” (winter) sees many retirees booking months-long stays, occupying many of the best sites.
Reserving your rental and your campsite early ensures two things: availability and choice. You get to choose the dates that work best for your family’s schedule, and you ensure you get the specific RV layout that fits your group size.
Don’t Wait — Reserve Before We Sell Out
Our fleet is high-quality and well-maintained, which means our calendar fills up. Secure your preferred dates today to avoid disappointment later.
