North Myrtle Beach Family Campout Set for October 3-4 at Park Complex

The City of North Myrtle Beach Parks and Recreation Department will host an overnight Family Campout at the NMB Park & Sports Complex on October 3-4, 2026.

Why this matters locally

The overnight event gives local families an accessible camping experience in North Myrtle Beach with provided meals, outdoor activities, and a movie under the stars.

The City of North Myrtle Beach Parks and Recreation Department will host its Family Campout from Saturday, October 3, through Sunday, October 4, 2026. The overnight community event is designed as a structured camping getaway for local families and visitors looking to enjoy an evening outdoors.

The event will be held at the NMB Park & Sports Complex, utilizing the Meadow and Amphitheater section located at 150 Citizens Circle in Little River, SC 29566. The site offers a large open outdoor space within the city’s primary sports and park facility, making it convenient for residents across North Myrtle Beach and surrounding Grand Strand neighborhoods.

Families participating in the overnight adventure will take part in a variety of organized recreation programs provided by the city. The itinerary features group activities, shared meals, classic campsite s'mores, and an outdoor movie shown under the stars. Specific event start times and full schedule details are currently to be determined as planning continues.

Because setup space at the park’s Meadow and Amphitheater is capped, the Family Campout is a registered event with limited availability. City organizers urge interested households to prepare ahead of time, as registration will open soon. Securing a spot early will be necessary for anyone planning to attend once registration officially begins.

For families in North Myrtle Beach, the event offers an accessible entry point to camping without leaving the immediate local area. It allows parents and children to experience an overnight stay in a familiar municipal park while taking advantage of coordinated meals and entertainment provided by city recreation staff. Residents and visitors planning to attend should watch for upcoming updates from North Myrtle Beach Parks and Recreation regarding registration dates and exact arrival times.
