A new television series highlighting the excitement of coastal camping has arrived in Myrtle Beach, promising a close-up look at the region’s sandy shorelines and local culture. The production, known as “RV There Yet?,” is filming two full-length segments that will showcase popular campgrounds and scenic attractions along the Grand Strand.
According to an online announcement published details, the partnership behind the production involves Visit Myrtle Beach and the Myrtle Beach Area Campground Association. The collaboration underscores the area’s well-regarded reputation as a destination for enthusiasts seeking oceanfront campsites, varied lodging, and nearby cultural attractions.
Producers plan to launch the episodes nationwide in May and June 2025 on major platforms, including Discovery+, Amazon Prime Video, Roku and YouTube, before making them available indefinitely through on-demand streaming. Organizers say the project is designed to highlight the region’s blend of relaxed waterfront atmosphere and family-friendly entertainment.
Filming took place in late March 2025 at a series of beachfront properties, with Ocean Lakes Family Campground playing a central role for the first episode. Crews also visited Lakewood and Pirateland Campgrounds, capturing the coastal scenery. According to producers, the itinerary included day trips to Brookgreen Gardens and Atalaya Castle, which are featured prominently in the final cut.
Co-hosts Kevin and Patrice McCabe expressed a personal connection to the sound of breakers near the shore. “It reminds me of my childhood, being able to camp, being able to hear the ocean at night. When we have camp night tonight, just being able to hear that ocean, it’s very soothing for me. It’s very relaxing. No stress, so it’s very good for my soul here. I’m very pleased with Myrtle Beach. We took a couple of drives too. We went down to the state park. Again it’s just really beautiful. It’s a small town feel, but I know it’s bigger than that,” they said in a local station’s coverage shared remarks.
Plans for the second episode involve Willow Tree RV Resort and Loris North Myrtle Beach RV Resort, which, during production, included a boat excursion to Barefoot Landing. Visitors will see how different campgrounds accentuate Myrtle Beach’s combination of family appeal, modern amenities and various outdoor activities.
Many of these properties can benefit from presenting real-time updates and user-friendly booking options to a more connected audience. Campgrounds featuring such amenities often find it easier to engage visitors looking for up-to-date information on tours, events and dining options. By sharing on-site highlights, they can immerse potential guests in the region’s vibrant sights and sounds even before arrival.
Meanwhile, broader data suggests that digital accessibility can yield measurable returns. A report from Campspot Analytics notes a gain of $7 million more in add-on park revenue in one year, attributed partly to simpler online interfaces. Research from the Outdoor Hospitality Industry Association echoes importance of user-centric design, illustrating how a smooth virtual experience can drive interest.
In addition to technological improvements, local partnerships can enhance a campground’s on-site experience. From planning boat rides toward popular attractions to featuring fresh local fare, operators can elevate an overnight stay into a culturally enriched getaway. These alliances help campers explore distinctive Lowcountry surroundings without the guesswork of piecing together separate itineraries on their own.
Myrtle Beach venues showcased in the show drew inspiration from that kind of creative collaboration. During filming, the production team also explored Brookgreen Gardens and other points of interest, spotlighting the balance between waterfront relaxation and community-based excursions that define the Grand Strand’s appeal.
Campgrounds seeking a similar boost can coordinate group outings to nature preserves or cultural landmarks, guiding visitors to unique experiences. Adding these personal touches may encourage longer stays, repeat visits and a sense of loyalty that extends beyond a single beachfront vacation.
Producers of “RV There Yet?” say post-production will wrap before summer 2025, just in time for the nationwide premiere. Beyond broadcasting on various channels, the indefinite on-demand availability will keep Myrtle Beach in front of viewers far past the initial airtime, attracting fresh interest in the region’s campgrounds.
