Arrowhead Campground in Myrtle Beach

My family camped there for years. I would have to search for some photos. We camped in a tent and I have fond memories of those times.
Now condos occupy that area.

Lake Arrowhead CG? My folks first took us there in 1966 and we fell in love with the place. Stayed there a few more times after that but I guess it was sold and turned into condos or something. Any photos would be in the possession of my parents.

I distinctly remember tents and tent trailers comprising the vast majority of the units in the CG. Rich people had travel trailers but even those were not the size of the average TT today. Only the incredibly wealthy had motorhomes..........

:?:? It's been closed for more years than I can remember

The first place we ever camped at the beach back in l967! We loved it and camped there every year until our children got to be teenagers and didn't want to camp with us any more. We really missed it after it closed. Any pictures would not be digital and I doubt if I could find them. We had friends who also camped there every year until it closed. Great memories!

I'm just wondering if that was the place I tented at back in 1967. A college buddy of mine and I headed to Myrtle Beach just before going backt o school. We hit a ton of resistance back then because we were in our late teens and without our families so none of the 'family' campgrounds would let us camp. There was only one campground along the beach that would let us stay but I can't remember the name of it. I do remember it was south of The Bowery bar. The drinking age for beer in SC back then was 18 so it suited us Canadian boys just fine since back home the drinking age was 20.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I to would have to go to my parents to get any photos but I am currently not getting along to well with my father. If anyone does happen to find any photos please post them, I have some good memories of that campground.

I remember it. It was along the same road that Apache and Myrtle Beach Travel Park are located now. That one was sold and turned into condo's. Thankfully most of the rest of the campgrounds down there have resisted selling their land.

There was also one called Sherwood Forest across from where Barefoot Landing is now located. I stayed there with my parents on my very first camping trip in the mid 1960's. We had a luxurious 16' Terry travel trailer. No bathroom or refrigerator in it but we thought it was great. The campground went though several different names before being sold to condo developers. I think it's last name was Barefoot RV park.

no Arrowhead would have been on the north end, way out in the country at that time. South would have been Pirateland, Ocean Lakes or Lakewood. Or could have been one of the state parks

Thanks for the info. It wasn't one of the state parks but it was in an area that is all hotels now. It was also north of the airport.

It was such a small campground and catered to families who were tenting or had small trailers. There were no large rv's at the time. :C
