The fishing was awesome. Caught my first ever flounder Jaqulan was very friendly and helpful entertaining us getting live minnows, tackle and shrimp bait. Nice to see improvements to facility since last year. Caught some flounder! read more

Very nice corner site... enjoyed beach, pier, cafe and stayed 2 weeks in our Coachhouse RV... April 2026

We have camped at Apache over 20 years and love it so much we recently purchased a permanent site! Everyone is like a big family here and look out for each other! So easy to work with and love the activities and fishing!! read more

This Fourth of July experience has not been a great one so far. When we arrived we went to get a golf cart and instead of attempting to explain why they were out/ when we should come back to check to see if any were in stock. the teenager was rude. The because of the way we booked we had to change spots which I was ok with except we have a camper on the larger size and asked if they could help us move it. The gentleman said yeah be back in an hour or so. Well it's 5 hours later and we are still waiting. So great way to waste a vacation day. read more

We spent 7 glorious days at Apache Family Campground and Pier with family. This was our first trip but let me say there will be more to come. It is a family friendly place and everyone is so nice! Strangers were friendly, waving, welcoming and never stand offish. The staff was very accommodating and the place we had was immaculate. We totally recommend this for a great adventure. read more

Apache Pier in Myrtle Beach is a classic, timeless treasure we've been visiting for years, and this review focuses solely on the pier itself, not the campgrounds. The pier offers a nostalgic vibe with fishing opportunities--bring your own gear or rent poles and supplies from the basic gift shop, which also stocks cold drinks and frozen treats, perfect after a morning on the beach. In past visits, walking the pier was a thrill, with catches like sharks, fish, eels, and even a sea turtle popping up to say hi! However, the price to just walk the pier has climbed over the years, so we haven't done it recently. The arcade is the highlight for my kids; while the game selection isn't huge, it's enough to keep them entertained for a bit, with e-tickets loaded onto game cards for redeeming prizes at the counter. Game prices are about the same or slightly higher than other arcades. Despite the rising walk-on cost, Apache Pier remains a beloved stop for its charm and family-friendly fun! read more

My husband and I rented one of apache rentals, unit 195, July 5-12. We brought our clothes in bags and laid them on the bed in the spare bedroom. After the first couple days, I begin to notice bites on my legs, I just thought nothing of it, so each day more bites on my foot. The last day of our vacation, my husband took our clothes out to the truck, I accidentally brushed my hand over the bed, I saw black specks, lots of them, I brushed them all of to the floor, you couldn't see them, because of the cover was dark, not being familiar with bed bugs, I didn't know what that was, I researched it and those was bed bugs droppings. When we got home we saw 3 or4 bugs crawling on the bags where our clothes were in. We called the manager at apache, and told him. In a couple days later, he said their were people already in the unit, but he said he had exterminate, in front of the people and said that there were no bugs. He lied, I know for a fact those were bed bugs, we never stayed no other place, I have 13 bites on one foot, 6 on the other. I have severe neuropathy in my feet, which now they are very itchy and hurt. What is so wrong, they are renting this place out, collecting people's money and they have bed bugs. Then if you tell them, they tell you back they don't have bugs, shame on them, they have lost a customer. I will never be back there. I have pictures of my feet of all the bites.​ I have pictures but for some reason they will not want to load. read more

Enjoyed the camp ground. Peaceful, quiet. Restaurant, bath house, prices were reasonable. Will visit again.

This place reminds me of how it was in my neighborhood when I was growing up as a kid. Kids are out on bicycles not worried about cars hitting them or people running off with them they have a very nice secure warm neighborhood feel to this small community. There's a mix of tiny houses, RVs, tents everything's all mixed together but it's arranged so very organized and nicely. The staff is really friendly all of the guest are really reasonable neat and everything is so well-maintained. They have free activities included in your stay for everybody almost every night adults and kids. They have also had non-denominational church twice a week and the kids camp almost every day. There is a little small train that they have for the kids to ride around the lot every day when it's not raining at 11 AM. They also have the longest pier in the south east and there are a lot of fish in the water you can see them from standing on the pier. There is two separate water play areas one big pool a small pool and then water sprinklers and a little wading pool with banana trees that dumped water on you from overhead. We love the place and are looking forward to coming back! read more

Twice now they've closed 2 hours before their posted hours and wouldnt let anyone use the bathrooms on the way out. Both times the attendants were rude and mean. Parking is a nightmare and the pier has many loose boards all over the place. Go to Cherry Grove Pier, its so much better and the people there are friendly and helpful. read more

General Manager was very rude, gave very poor instruction. The security guard didn't know how to do his job correctly. The general manager kicked us out for no reason and gave us our money back out his wallet very unprofessional will never be going back again.... read more

Stayed at this campground for many years and decided to visit since we were in town. First shock we had was when we approached the front gate and found out that their is a $10 pier parking fee on top of the $2.00 per person fee to go out on the pier. We expected the fee for going on, but not the parking fee. The parking fee is an obvious money grab. Driving through the campground it was quickly apparent that the owners are not putting much money back into the place. The trailers all look run down and they have taken away a lot of the parking near the beach to add more trailers to the point that there isn't much room to move around other than on the roads themselves. The pier itself is in need of repairs as well. There are several boards that sink in when you walk on them as well as several with holes that expose the view underneath. This was a shame to see as we were there in 1994 when they were building the pier. The pier is the only draw as there are other trailer parks in the area such as The Myrtle Beach Travel Park and Pirate Land that has more for the family and are much better maintained. read more

We have been traveling the coast taking in Lighthouse and piers so of course we had to see the longest pier on the east coast! There is an entrance/ parking fee to enter the campground. The staff at the entrance gate was not the friendliest. We entered and headed to the pier. There is a $2 fee per person to go on the pier. We walked to the end and back and I took some pictures under the pier. One fisherman caught a baby shark. I can say I've been here. read more

If I could give the pier - stars I would. I was discriminated. People want to talk about discrimination these days well there are many avenues. And having a service animal to assist with medical disabilities and not allowing the service animal to assist to go to a public, payed for place is disturbing. Richard that obviously doesn't know ADA AND SC laws was uneducated and rude. And wanted to know my medical disability....can't ask that sir...or should I say little boy. Your momma obviously didn't raise you well..... shame on you. Karma is a bitch and so are attorneys.... read more

Wow! What an amazing, affordable campground right on the beach. This was my 1st time and I'm already looking forward to coming back. The shower house/restroom was very clean. Groupers at the Pier restaurant is the restaurant attached to the pier and it's great too and pretty affordable. read more

We walked down the beach from Lands' End and stopped in to check out the pier. Ended up catching a cab back to our condo because we were already tired from the walk down the beach and it was pitch black out by the time we left. Here's a quick run-down of what to expect at Apache... Campground -- crowded but the people are friendly. Seems to be pretty busy all day and night... people milling about. Reminds me a lot of a tailgate party at a football game or a race. Golf carts zooming around all over the place and kids running around, as well. Arcade -- some pretty fun games. Lots of Skee Ball and a couple of Pinball machines. Not a large arcade by any stretch of the imagination but it will certainly keep young campers happy. Pier -- "Longest pier on the East Coast," claims the management. Mostly for fishing or getting a quick look down the beach. Apache family charges $1 for pier walks during the day and $3 at night when they're doing "entertainment." "Entertainment" consists of a bunch of kids singing karaoke under a tent while being watched by their parents and/or grandparents. Not my cup of tea and certainly not worth $3. In the interest of being fair, I have to give this place 3 stars. There aren't very many campgrounds like this left in the area and it looks like a decent place if you're into "camping" in a travel trailer or mobile home. I didn't seen any tents *shrug*. The pier wasn't really my thing, but everyone out there certainly seemed to be enjoying themselves at 10:30pm. Lots of people still fishing and Karaoke was pretty popular. read more

It is a nice pier to walk out to look at the middle of the ocean. They have live music every evening. Admission when I went with my boyfriend was $3 each at 8:30pm. I think children have free admission (??) We were walking on the beach and saw the lights flashing from the shore. We decided to go check it out. When you go up the stairs you are led into a mini arcade and gift shop with little beach trinkets. When we kept walking onto the pier we were stopped like we were trespassing. We were told that they had a fee for the band. We didn't know. When I asked what it was, they made me feel like a complete outsider that I didn't know what it was. It would have been nice to get a warm reaction. Please note that shoes are required when you go onto the boardwalk. I really would have appreciated a nice little area to rinse off your feet beforehand. The bathrooms were incredibly clean near the store. Families were fishing off the pier and that was nice. The band is perfect for young children. It was so cute to watch them dance around. They serve drinks such as beer, wine, and sodas for an affordable price. Extremely family friendly from infancy on. I felt really happy to see 11 year olds coming here as a hangout zone. read more

The sunrise from the pier is amazing. The cool Ocean Breeze and the sun coming up over the water is just lovely. It does not open until 6 so you cannot get out any earlier than that. It does cost $5 for parking and $2 to go out on the pier. There was not much parking even at 6 a.m. The woman working in the pier Booth was very nice. there was plenty of snacks and drinks for purchase. There were plenty of bathrooms at the restaurant / bar the pier building and also Midway down the pier which was fantastic. There is not much seating except for a few picnic tables in the center , near the stage , and a picnic table at the end under a great little overlook. I highly recommend a trip here if you love seeing spectacular sunrises!!! read more

Great place for snowbirds. Lots of activities and staff are great. Great neighborhood vibe. We are down from October 1st - March, and this is our 2nd year. Campground right on the beach and minutes away from shopping and outlet malls. We will be back next winter for 8 months. 6-month snowbird rate is very reasonable. read more

My extended family has camped at Apache for over 15 years. All our previous visits have been good but our latest visit was very unexpected! We called and reserved 2 of the sites we like more than any of the others, site 10 & 11 which are backed up to the fence and more private. We called 3 months in advance and paid in full! Upon arriving they had moved us elsewhere, never called, never emailed and said the contact says they have the right to do this! I asked for the contact and NO, it's says nothing of the sort. When I expressed my displeasure, the office clerk said, Well there's nothing we can do about it! I left my cell number so the lady who took my reservations and the manager/owner could call! I have yet to hear from anybody! Very inconsiderate & unprofessional! Kaye Sauls Gautier March 17-21st read more

The worst experience I've ever had with a campground bringing a secondary vehicle and a personal golf cart and was told I had to pay extra for both even though I stayed on my lot. I'm a disabled veteran who relies heavily on the golf cart to move long distances and was denied the use of my ( Personal) golf cart unless I paid $20 per day as well as bring a small more fuel-efficient vehicle so my family could travel and was told I need to pay extra just store the vehicle on my rented spot. I'll never rent a spot from here again and will be going to Pirateland for all future campground experiences. read more

This place may not be the most extravagant campground in myrtle Beach but it sure is the most peaceful one. In the past 6 years I have been staying here every summer and I have never had a complaint it's quiet with no riff raff going on at night and the staff are extremely caring and friendly. If you don't enjoy this place to bad because your probably a snob anyways. This place isn't about a status it's more for family enjoyment. read more

Great family campground. In a convenient area. Not too busy but close to outlets. They have a large pier. Nice beach area and pool! Highly recommend camping here! read more

Let me preface this review by stating that we did not stay at the campground, we just walked from our condo down the beach to visit and walk the pier only. You can park on the property for a few dollars and the pier is right there. Apache Pier is known as being one of the longest and oldest piers in the country. The pier is huge and extends way out onto the Atlantic Ocean. Going on the pier during the day is not worth it. You have to walk the pier at night for the views of the surrounding area. Besides walking the pier, you can buy ice cream and Italian ice from vendors on the pier, buy bait and rent fishing poles, play in the gaming arcade, purchase souvenirs, or eat and have a cold one at the attached bar and restaurant. If you are ever in North Myrtle Beach, make sure to stroll the pier at night; it is definitely worth the visit. read more

The pier is not dog friendly - of course they didn't mention this until after I paid. No signs that say otherwise. 0/5 stars.

Havent actually camped here, but ive been on the pier many times for sightseeing and fishing. Best one in the area.

The only reason to go here is to fish. My wife and I took our 3 middle school age children here for a fun, family beach outing and it just didn't work. The inside is very old and dated. The pier itself is very old and dirty. We walked the pier for just 10 min and turned around and left ... there's just nothing there. It was a complete waste of money. The entrance is a trailer park / campground and you have to pay just to drive up to the pier. Then all 5 of us had to pay again just to be able to walk on the pier. Not realizing we would be asked to double pay, I started opening the door to the pier and we were immediately snapped at because we hadn't yet double paid. Overall the staff may be professional and friendly, but the two that we encountered were grumpy and mean and our kids asked to leave immediately after that encounter. So we walked the pier for 5 min and just left. Again, the fishing here may be great and maybe one day I'll come back with a group of buddies. But it's definitely not a good place to take the kids. Not fun at all if you're looking for a family outing ... just wasted money. read more

Me and my family have camped here for 3-4 years and have had no problems. We don't fish so I can't speak on that but the pier 2 dollars a person so we never find it a problem. The restaurant has good food and I'd say the price is fair. The pier has live entertainment every night free of charge. The beach itself is over all pretty clean. There is a little convenient store to buy sun screen and other miscellaneous items. You do have to have a spot down there to stay however but we see lots for sell every year so it shouldn't be a problem. Definitely recommend ever if it's just to go to the pier. read more

Worst place to go on vacation. Went there to rent fishing poles, and was greeted by the extremely rude Norma. She seems to be frequently an issue after reading multiple reviews online. I 100% back everything said by all the reviews about her. By far the most rude person ever. By the simple fact of multiple reviews complaining about her and her still acting the way she does proves the management clearly does not care about their customers feedback. That women should be fired and the fact that she has not been yet is a sin. Never ever will I be returning to Apache Pier. Worst place in South Carolina hands down. Place was a mess and has horrible customer service. Something needs to be done about it. read more

Enjoy our time here. The families here are so very nice and enjoyable to speak with. Great fishing pier, restaurant, and tackle shop.

We have camped at Apache for the past 3 years. Our most recent visit was for the July 4th holiday. The campground was not well maintained at all. Trashy is the best description. The bathhouses were disgusting. The sites are super tight. But we knew that going in. But when everything else is deplorable, it makes the tightness seem worse. Sitting out under your awning is not enjoyable. When you make the reservation, they will not tell you what site you are paying for. Even if you've paid in full. The staff was 100% rude and humiliated me on a couple different occasions. We have a personal golf cart. We pay extra to bring it. Apache is one of the only campgrounds in Myrtle Beach that allows them now. However, we registered our cart, provided proof of insurance and everything. I was stopped at the guard shack and accused of not having registered my cart. He told me I needed to loop around and go to the office. It was 90 degrees and I had groceries on my cart. I just went on to my site instead of going to the office. Little did I know there was an APB out on me and I was "pulled over" by a maintenance personnel also telling me I needed to go to the office. I visited the camp store for ice. The lady working in the store humiliated me in front of everyone because I took a bag of ice out of the cooler prior to paying for it. She yelled at me and accused me of trying to turn the "entire store into an ice skating rink". read more

Very nice pier to go fishing on. I go here every year a few times. Clean pier. They need some more covered areas for the fisherman. The bathrooms are somewhat run down. The camp area is nice. Has a nice little arcade. read more

Here is the scope. Apache Pier & Family Campground is a great place to stop. If you have a motor home or camper or tent this is the place for you. Sewer, water, cable, electric hook ups. and you get first crack at getting ocean front! When you pull in the camp site to register to stay the staff is friendly and takes care of all your needs. If you have any issue they are quick to get staff out to check problems should they occur and they make your stay enjoyable. Once you are checked in you get vouchers for the pier. Depending on the size of family they give these vouchers accordingly. When you get to your site. The lot sizes could be a little bigger but depending on the time of year you go the office staff lets you park your truck or car next to your spot if need be. You are walking distance from the pier which is nice and very nice at sunset trust me. If you have a camper you can rent a space for a day, week, month, year.... you can do whatever you want as far as reservations are concerned. If you rent a permanent site you have to rent from a Saturday to a Saturday. (LL) Leisure Living sites which are closest to the campers depending on the season you are charged more. However you get $100 deposit back usually within a week or two of returning home. The trailers are very nice. Multiple layouts between trailers. Apache is minutes away from Walmart and Kroger's both of which are maybe a 5 minute drive down the road. A very nice location and all the years that we have been going down we haven't yet once ran into rude or un happy people (Unless you are used to a hotel and room service) Me and my family have been going here since I was a child. 30+ years now and going. We haven't missed a season and its well worth the travel from any directions. We have met friends from North Carolina to Michigan to Texas and beyond. A great family atmosphere for kids and parents alike. Oh and I forgot to mention you can bring your pet too! (Check with office) The rules do change from year to year as far as policies are concerned regarding pets. read more

We took our small girls to play the archade games. My youngest needed to use the restroom, when I came out with her my oldest (standing with the other adult) was holding a basketball. I asked her to put it up and she dropped it on her way to the basket they were in. A gentleman working raised his voice to her telling her this wasn't a basketball court and to put it up before she broke anything. Horrible experience, awful customer service many time here. I won't be back. read more

$10 just to park to get to the pier. Then a fee just to walk on the the pier. Then if you decide to fish the fees is outrageous and if you what to fish for king mackerel you can't fish for them between June 13th to August 13th. Not because of any laws or restrictions but because the pier says that kings don't bite during that time. They raised their prices and it hits everyone And with the restrictions put in place for king fishing the blackout dates don't allow parents to pass down the tradition of king mackerel fishing to the children. read more

Only our second experience in a travel trailer and both have been at Apache. The staff is extremely friendly, helpful and courteous to 'newbie' campers. We plan on making this our get away from the cold during the winter. Off season pricing is great and there are even a few activities going on in the off season. Very family oriented. Lots of Canadians spending the winter during our visit in March. Already lots of kids during our visit in April. Not too crowded either time. read more

Spent Memorial Day here in our RV. It was packed but that's to be expected. The people were friendly and staff was everywhere keeping things tidy and clean. There was a lot of security (it was also bike week to lots happening in town) and we felt very secure. The daily spots towards the front are a short walk to the beach which is very convenient. This was our first trip and we would definitely return. read more
