The Carolina Pines RV Resort is hands down one of our favorite places to go. Actually, they recently renamed themselves Sun Outdoors Myrtle Beach, which is fine by us as Sun Outdoors has some of the best RV parks we’ve ever been to. We’ve stayed at Jellystone Park, Larkspur, CO, and they’re also a Sun Outdoor park. So, you know this place is going to be good.
Since we stayed at the park, we figured we’d give you the most comprehensive and thorough review of Sun Outdoors Myrtle Beach. From the indoor pool to the yoga studio and everything in between, we think you’ll love it there.

Nestled in the heart of South Carolina, the beloved Carolina Pines RV Resort is a haven for travelers seeking relaxation and adventure.

Getting there is a breeze. If you’re coming from the north, take the US-501 S route, and if you’re approaching from the south, the US-17 N route is your best bet. Once you’re on Hwy 90, watch for the signboard pointing towards the resort. It’s impossible to miss. For those relying on GPS, punch in the address: 5800 SC-90, Conway, SC 29526, and let modern technology guide you to their doorstep.
The accessibility of Carolina Pines RV Resort is one of its many advantages. They’re a stone’s throw away from some of the region’s top attractions.

Accommodations and RV sites.
If you’ve ever stayed in any Sun communities, then you know their accommodations are epic. The Sun Outdoors Myrtle Beach cottages and RV sites are no exception.
Cottage rentals.
At Carolina Pines, they’ve truly outdone themselves when it comes to their cottage rental accommodations.

You’ll love waking up to the sound of chirping birds, sipping your morning coffee on the porch, and soaking in the tranquility of the surrounding woods.
Spacious RV sites.
You’ll appreciate their well-maintained elite RV sites if you’re more of a road warrior with an RV. After all, it is an RV park.
The Carolina Pines RV Resort offers a variety of sites to suit every type of rig, from Class A motorhomes to fifth wheels and everything in between. Each site has full hookups (water, sewer, and 50/30 amp electric), concrete pads, and even cable TV and Wi-Fi for those who like to stay connected. We didn’t spend too much time in the camper (or even at our RV site for that matter), but you might be different.
With easy access to clean bathhouses, laundry facilities, and a dedicated dog park for your furry friends, they’ve thought of everything to make your stay as convenient and enjoyable as possible. Plus, the panoramic views of the Carolina Pines add to these sites’ overall charm, making them a perfect home away from home.

Sure, the accommodations are great, but everyone really comes to the park for the refreshing vacation resort experience. This is, in the end, the ultimate Myrtle Beach getaway.
Carolina Splash Water Park & pools.
One of the highlights of Carolina Pines RV Resort is their incredible water park.
It’s not just a pool — it is a fun-filled aquatic adventure, complete with thrilling slides for the older kids and a splash pad for the little ones.
If you’re looking for something more relaxing, they also have a tranquil adult pool and hot tub where you can unwind and soak up the Carolina sun. We spent most of our time there, but for those with kiddos you’ll probably want the Carolina Splash Water Park.
Their pools are meticulously maintained and staffed by friendly, professional lifeguards.
Clubhouse.
Not everyone wants to join the beach club and stay in the sun all day. Sometimes the South Carolina heat is just too much. Fortunately, their impressive clubhouse is the heart of their community at Carolina Pines. It’s a place where you can mingle with fellow guests, participate in various activities, or simply relax with a good book.
They’ve equipped it with a state-of-the-art fitness center, yoga studio, a mini bowling alley, and even Red Fox Arcade for the kids. The clubhouse also hosts events like movie nights, potluck dinners, and craft sessions that foster a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed the community spirit it brings to Carolina Pines RV Resort.
Additional facilities & services.
From the indoor pool to the hot tubs, we think you’ll enjoy incredible resort activities and facilities when you stay at Carolina Pines. But their attention to detail is what really elevated our stay.
They’ve got you covered from their on-site restaurant serving delicious Southern cuisine to their well-stocked general store for all your camping essentials. They also offer a shuttle service to Myrtle Beach so that you can explore the local attractions without the hassle of driving.

There are so many amenities that we can’t list them all, but you get the idea. This is not your typical RV park. Carolina Pines is an oasis of relaxation, adventure, and hospitality all rolled into one – the perfect place to enjoy a relaxed getaway.
