I’m just wondering if I’m in the minority or the silent majority. I have never experienced the issue of a public campground being booked solid but a substantial number of sites being vacant. But to be fair, I also don’t spend any of my time trying to determine the “booked” vs. “occupied” status of the hundreds of campsites over the week that I’m there (I got no time for that). In other words, I won’t be calling the governor, it’s not an issue to me.


True. Most of the CG's, State or Forest Service types only have 3-4 out of 30-35 no shows. Not really anything to get upset about.
YMMV depending on region.

I just booked into Myrtle Beach for the last week in March 7 days + 1 free. That’s supposed to be a busy week. Going from there to Charleston the next week and no problem there either. Happy camping folks, enjoy your life.


Myrtle Beach in March would hardly be considered as prime time for camping. I think the folks on here are talking about the summer months when the parks get filled up.

Isn't it spring break then?

Spring break usually starts up in early March and runs through April. It's difficult to pinpoint these days as every school establishes different weeks off. But that also means one week doesn't get 90 schools worth of kids - instead those 90 schools are spread throughout 6-8 weeks.

While I'm sure Myrtle does get a few more visitors during Spring Break.
It is far from peak season. Getting a site for Spring Break is relatively easy vs. sometime in June, July or August. March is still a bit too cool for beach activities in Myrtle.

Peak season is the time to stay away from the tourist trap known as Myrtle Beach. If interested in getting in the ocean then Late September early October is a great time to go. Just have to pray no hurricanes show up. We went in February couple years ago and were in our bathing suits on the beach. Didn't get in the water, but was a great time to go.
