Myrtle Beach Campground

This trip to Myrtle Beach we are staying for the first time at Apache Campground in North Myrtle Beach.

Like many of the beachfront campgrounds here… it’s was designed so many years ago when Rv’s were smaller and didn’t have slide-outs…. and despite the increase in size of the Rv’s… upgrades to the sites has not been part of the program. When we arrived we had an empty sites on both sides of our site… so it was fairly easy to get onto the site… despite the fact that we only have 10 inches of clearance on one side and 18 inches on the other… utilities and a picnic table canopy. Despite my questions prior to arriving I was assured that they could accommodate a 40 foot fifth wheel trailer with 3 large opposing slides… and a large tow vehicle. When looking at other sites here in the campground… it is apparent that this problem could have been easily avoided if we had been placed on a site that was larger (wider), and not one of the smallest. Perhaps a bit more consideration when assigning sites, by a more knowledgeable staff, and this situation would not be an issue. So if you plan a trip to Myrtle Beach… perhaps Apache Campground is not the best choice for larger Rv’s… unless you truly can get them to put you on a site that leans towards being a wider site and not one of the smallest for a large rig. Aside from this issue… the campground is right on the beach… just walk to the ocean… and that’s nice. Beware of the “Wi-Fi available” …. at $9.95/day it’s a rip-off.
