Huntington Beach State Park near Murrells Inlet is widely considered the best public option, with oceanfront sites and a dump station. Myrtle Beach State Park offers a quieter alternative. Commercial parks like Lakewood Camping Resort and Ocean Lakes Family Campground are massive facilities with full amenities. All have dump stations. Reserve well ahead for spring and summer visits.

October and November offer the best combination of comfortable weather, lower humidity, and manageable crowds. March through May is beautiful but busier, especially at beach campgrounds. Winter is mild enough for year-round travel, and snowbird rates make December through February an affordable time to camp on the coast. Avoid July and August unless you handle heat well.

Charleston's historic district is not RV-friendly -- narrow streets, low tree canopies, and virtually no parking for large vehicles. Camp at one of several RV parks on the city's outskirts along I-26 or US-17 and drive a tow vehicle or use ride services to explore downtown. Several parks offer dump stations and convenient access to the city.

Congaree National Park near Columbia has limited RV infrastructure -- the park itself offers basic camping but check current dump station availability. The Columbia metro area along I-26 and I-77 has multiple dump station options within 30 minutes of the park. Several private RV parks near the interstate exits provide dump access for a fee.

Hurricane season runs June through November, with peak activity in September. The coast is most vulnerable, and evacuation orders can come quickly. RVs should never ride out a hurricane. Monitor the National Hurricane Center, have an inland evacuation route planned, and be prepared to leave the coast with 48 hours notice. Inland areas face flooding and wind damage during major storms.

Most Myrtle Beach dump stations operate first-come, first-served, but the campgrounds themselves require reservations during summer. If you're staying at a park, dumping is included.

South Carolina state park dump stations charge $5-10 for non-campers, among the best rates in the state. Campers dump free as part of their site fee. An annual State Parks Passport ($99) includes free dump station access and makes sense if you're spending several weeks exploring the state.

I-95 through South Carolina has dump stations at Flying J and Pilot truck stops in Dillon, Florence, and near Hardeeville. Several campgrounds within five miles of exits also welcome non-guests for $10-15. Rest areas don't have dump facilities, so plan your stops at commercial locations.

Most Charleston area campgrounds allow non-guest dumping for $15-20, though some require advance notice during peak season. James Island County Park and Oak Plantation Campground both accommodate pass-through dumpers. Call ahead on summer weekends when facilities may restrict access to registered guests only.

Truck stop dump stations at Flying J and Pilot locations operate 24/7 year-round. Most coastal campground facilities close or reduce hours December-February, but state parks and inland locations maintain regular schedules. Our directory shows seasonal hours and any winter closures for each station.

Take I-95 to exit 8, then US-278 east for 20 miles to Hilton Head. The route handles large RVs fine, though the final bridge has moderate grades. Avoid US-17 through Beaufort's historic district with big rigs. Dump before crossing to the island -- options are limited once you're on Hilton Head.

The highest-rated is James Island County Park with a rating of 4.8/5 stars.
