How to Compare South Carolina RVs For Rent
Hunting Island's undeveloped Atlantic beach, Congaree's old-growth floodplain forest, and the Blue Ridge foothills around Table Rock give South Carolina three genuinely different RV experiences in one state. Size typically isn't much of an issue in this state.
Check prices for the size unit you need. The average rental runs about $110/night, with travel trailers starting around $75/night and Class C motorhomes typically running $150/night.
Hunting Island enforces a 40-foot maximum site length. Hunting Island State Park is one of the most popular campgrounds in the Southeast — direct ocean access, palmetto forest, and a lighthouse worth the climb. The campground caps sites at 40 feet. Book as early as the South Carolina State Parks system allows; it sells out completely for spring and fall.
A travel trailer is the practical choice for Congaree day trips. Congaree National Park has no drive-in hookup campgrounds — only primitive tent camping. The best RV base for a Congaree visit is Columbia-area private campgrounds or Santee State Park, and visit Congaree as a day trip. A travel trailer lets you unhitch and drive a standard vehicle into the park.
Myrtle Beach-area campgrounds are large, well-equipped, and crowded in summer. If the Grand Strand is your destination, the Myrtle Beach area has multiple large private campgrounds with full hookups. A large Class A is fully at home here. Summer rates are significantly higher than shoulder season.
Humidity and heat run high from June through September. South Carolina summers are hot and humid — 90°F+ with humidity that makes it feel hotter. AC capacity and roof ventilation matter for summer comfort. Spring (March–May) and fall (October–November) are the best travel windows.
What to Know About Renting an RV in South Carolina
South Carolina is straightforward to navigate with a few reservation-specific details worth knowing.
South Carolina state park campgrounds book through the SC State Parks reservation system. Hunting Island, Myrtle Beach State Park, and Table Rock fill fastest. Hunting Island opens reservations 90 days in advance — set an alert and book the day the window opens.
Myrtle Beach State Park is distinct from the resort campgrounds on the Grand Strand. The state park sits on a natural beachfront inside the city and has far fewer sites than the private Grand Strand campgrounds. It books fast at 90 days out.
Congaree National Park has no hookup camping. The park offers primitive tent sites only. RVers use Columbia-area private campgrounds or Santee State Park (full hookups, about 70 miles east) as a base.
Hurricane season runs June through November. The South Carolina coast is exposed to Atlantic hurricane activity, with peak risk in August and September. Monitor NOAA forecasts for any coastal camping during this window.
