Myrtle Beach is state's top camping By Kathleen Dayton Knight-Riddkr MYRTLE BEACH Travel back in time to the mid-1950s, and picture yourself camping in Myrtle Beach.

You would have to haul water from a central location and do without electricity. And if Myrtle Beach State Park was full, you wouldn't find another campground in town. That was then, this is now. Today, Myrtle Beach is the state's top travel destination for campers and RV travelers, capturing 36 percent of the market. The Grand Strand offers nearly 10,000 campsites and is visited by at least 2 million campers every year.

July is the height of the camping season. "On Fourth of July week, we had 54 people in the overflow area around the office," said Matt Lynn, general manager of Apache Campground, off Lake Arrowhead Road near the Restaurant Row section of the Grand Strand. The campground was at 100 percent capacity for three weeks last month. Ocean Lakes Campground near Surfside Beach takes reservations 18 months in advance. Repeat business has been strong for 28 years, and the campground's marketing director, Barb Krumm, said today's campers are "third generation.".
