Pier Closures:
We will be camping out on the fishing pier during our annual Camping Ex-PIER-ience! The entire pier will be closed to the general public from 10PM Friday, September 11 to 6:30AM Saturday, September 12. Join us on this unique adventure- call to register!


 A large portion of the fishing pier will be closed from 6am to 11:30am on Saturday, October 17 for our annual Take a Kid Fishing event. Pier anglers during this time will not have as much available space as usual and will have to fish closer to shore during that time. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation in helping to give kids an opportunity to fish!

 

Please be aware that parking is first-come, first-served and is LIMITED. Shelter guests are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to arrive outside peak hours (10 a.m. - 2 p.m.), especially on weekends and holidays in the summer. The park is extremely busy during this time and may reach normal capacities and close for a period of time. Should you forget something, you may want to check our retail stores before leaving the park, as the wait to re-enter could be extensive, and you could be turned away if the park is at capacity.

PETS

Pets are not allowed in any cabin or the cabin areas. Pets are allowed in most other outdoor areas year round, provided they are kept under physical restraint or on a leash not longer than six feet. Pets are not allowed on the beaches from 10am until 5pm (7 days a week) May 1 through Labor Day. This is a county ordinance that is effective on all public beaches in Horry County.

Bikes are also not allowed on the beach during the same time periods as pets.
