A popular North Myrtle Beach RV park plans to expand. Here’s what changes you can expect to see
Change is on the horizon for a popular North Myrtle Beach waterfront resort.
North Myrtle Beach City Council approved the second reading of a series of ordinances Monday night that will annex approximately 11.84 acres of land within city limits and amend the zoning code to allow the North Myrtle Beach RV Resort and Dry Dock Marina to expand.
The property, located off Old Crane Road in Little River and just west of the Intracoastal Waterway, will now be incorporated into the Bahama Island Resort Planned Development District. The land was zoned PDD under Horry County’s jurisdiction.
Expansion plans call for 214 RV camper sites and 22 pop-up campers that will allow park models within the RV camp site along with recreational vehicles. The additional tract will include a clubhouse, splash pad and dog park.
Since 2017, the North Myrtle Beach resort has operated 107 RV and 22 pop-up camper sites, 38 wet slips and on-site amenities, including boat storage using an existing dry dock storage building and infrastructure for boat storage and a ship store building.
However, if site owners, Myrtle Beach Power Sport, choose not to provide the additional RV spots, they have the option to build 200 multi-family condominiums on the annexed property. Construction will require the owners to go before city council once again for approval.
Per the ordinance, if the owner pursues additional parking spots, there will be a $400 beach access fee per site. But if the owner elects to construct the condos, the city will negotiate a lower fee.
Additionally, the owners are prohibited from placing their current property and the proposed land into a conservation easement, according to the ordinance.
