Riverneck Acres ATV Park is a 1,100+ acre off-road riding destination in Florence, SC, featuring more than 60 miles of trails for ATVs, UTVs, dirt bikes, and golf carts. With on-site camping, cabins, and RV hookups, it offers a full outdoor weekend for riders and families seeking more than a standard beach vacation.
Add A Little Mud To Your Myrtle Beach Vacation
We love helping our guests discover that a Myrtle Beach camping vacation can include far more than a day at the beach. The ocean is wonderful—but some guests want something a little more rugged. A little louder. A little muddier.
For families, couples, and groups who enjoy off-road adventures, River Neck Acres ATV Park offers a chance to trade the sand for trails, mud bogs, and wide-open riding terrain. Spend the day exploring over 60 miles of off-road trails, then return to the comfort of a clean, fully set-up RV waiting for you at the campground. It’s a hard combination to beat.
That said, this is not a drive-through attraction. Riverneck Acres ATV Park is a real off-road riding destination, and it rewards guests who plan. Before you go, you’ll want to review the park’s current rules, confirm operating hours, check the trail map, and prepare for mud, dust, and weather-dependent conditions. The trails can look very different after a rainstorm than they do on a dry summer afternoon.
This guide covers everything you need to know—who the park is best suited for, what vehicles are welcome, how the trail system works, lodging options, safety rules, upcoming events, and how to build a weekend itinerary that balances adventure with genuine relaxation.
What Is Riverneck Acres ATV Park?
River Neck Acres ATV Park is located at 4459 River Neck Road, Florence, SC 29506, situated in Florence County near the Great Pee Dee River. The property spans more than 1,100 acres and combines off-road riding with camping and overnight lodging—making it far more than a simple day-use park.
The Riverneck Acres ATV Park is designed for people who enjoy ATVs, UTVs, dirt bikes, side-by-sides, and outdoor weekends with friends and family. The park currently advertises more than 60 miles of trails, camping accommodations ranging from tent sites to cabins, organized events throughout the year, and riding options suited to different experience levels.
What sets River Neck apart from a standard riding area is its community-oriented atmosphere. Riders are expected to respect other visitors, follow posted rules, and look out for less experienced guests on the trail. That sense of shared respect makes the property feel welcoming even to groups visiting for the first time.
Why Visit An ATV Park During A Myrtle Beach Camping Trip?
We believe the best vacations give everyone something to look forward to. Some guests love slow mornings by the beach, while others cannot wait to hit the trails. An RV gives your group the flexibility to enjoy both—without sacrificing comfort for either.
Riverneck Acres ATV Park fits naturally into a Myrtle Beach itinerary for several types of travelers:
- Families with older children who already have riding experience and want an activity beyond the beach
- Couples planning an active outdoor trip with a mix of adventure and downtime
- Groups of friends organizing a riding weekend with events, night rides, or races
- Riders attending organized events like mud bashes, concerts, or holiday weekends
- Visitors who want to explore more of South Carolina beyond the coastline
A single vacation can include a beach day, a full day of trail riding, and a relaxed campground morning—all without anyone feeling shortchanged. Just be sure to account for driving time and road conditions when building your schedule, as Florence is approximately two hours from the Myrtle Beach area.
What Can You Ride At River Neck Acres ATV Park?
The park welcomes a variety of off-road vehicles across its trail system. Visitors should plan to bring their own properly maintained vehicle unless they confirm a different arrangement directly with the park, as River Neck Acres does not currently advertise rentals on its official website.
ATVs And Four-Wheelers
Traditional ATVs and four-wheelers are among the primary vehicles at River Neck Acres. Before arriving, make sure your vehicle is in safe operating condition. Bring the basics: extra fuel, a tire repair kit, a tow strap, and any tools you might need if something goes sideways on the trail.
UTVs And Side-By-Sides
Side-by-sides are popular with couples, families, and groups because they allow passengers to ride together. Follow the manufacturer’s passenger limits, use all installed safety restraints, and be aware that mud, water, and uneven terrain can significantly affect how the vehicle handles—especially in technical sections.
Dirt Bikes
Riverneck Acres ATV Park features purpose-built tracks and trails specifically designed for dirt bike riders seeking technical challenges. Match your route to your actual ability level rather than following more experienced riders into sections that are beyond your current skill set.
Golf Carts
Golf carts are listed among the accepted vehicle types at River Neck Acres, but permission to bring a golf cart does not mean every trail is appropriate for one. Confirm current vehicle restrictions and designated areas with the park before your visit.
Exploring The Trails At River Neck Acres ATV Park
The trail system at River Neck Acres is the heart of the experience. With more than 60 miles of marked trails spread across 1,100+ acres, the terrain is genuinely diverse. Expect wooded forest paths, open dirt trails, hills, swampy areas, water crossings, mud bogs, mud pits, and technical riding sections that test even experienced riders.
The park describes its trail system as accommodating all skill levels—from beginner-friendly routes to expert challenges. Some trails are manageable for newer riders starting out. Others require real confidence and familiarity with your vehicle. The marked trail system and the park’s trail map make navigation considerably easier, and using them is strongly recommended for first-time visitors.
Weather plays a major role in trail conditions. Recent rain can turn a straightforward dirt path into a deep, slippery mud run. Softer ground, deeper water crossings, and expanding mud pits after rainfall are normal. Never assume a trail will be in the same condition it was on your last visit—or the same condition it appears on a dry day.
Is River Neck Acres Family-Friendly?
River Neck Acres promotes a welcoming, family-friendly environment, and the park genuinely supports families. However, “family-friendly” at an off-road riding park means something different than it would at a theme park or public beach.
Before bringing children, parents and guardians should consider:
- The child’s actual riding experience and comfort level
- Manufacturer age and weight recommendations for the vehicle they’ll operate
- Helmet requirements (the park requires helmets for youth riders—confirm current age specifics before visiting, as wording may vary by event)
- Trail conditions on the day of the visit
- Noise levels and crowd size, particularly during major event weekends
- Whether night rides are appropriate for your family’s youngest members
New riders—regardless of age—benefit from starting on easier terrain rather than following experienced riders straight onto technical trails. Supervision around campsites, parking areas, and active riding zones is essential. The park’s atmosphere rewards mutual respect, and that starts with families setting a good example for their children.
River Neck Acres ATV Park Safety Rules To Know
Safety is one of the most important parts of planning a visit to any off-road riding destination. River Neck Acres takes it seriously, and so should you.
Review Current Rules Before You Leave Home
Check the park’s official website and social media pages before every visit. Rules and procedures may differ significantly during races, concerts, night rides, and major event weekends. Confirm current operating hours, admission procedures, and any scheduled closures before you make the drive.
Complete Required Waivers
Riders are required to sign a waiver before entering the trails. If you’re bringing minors, check what additional documentation is required for parents and guardians. Completing any forms in advance can make the check-in process faster and easier.
Bring Proper Safety Gear
Arrive prepared with the right protective equipment:
- Properly fitted helmet
- Eye protection
- Gloves
- Long pants and long sleeves
- Over-the-ankle boots
- Weather-appropriate clothing
- Safety restraints where applicable to your vehicle
Follow Posted Speed Limits
River Neck Acres has previously posted a 5 mph limit in front areas and fields. Slower speed limits apply around the entrance, campground, and anywhere children or pedestrians may be present. Yield to less experienced riders and always give other vehicles enough space.
Ride Within Your Experience Level
This is perhaps the most important rule of all. Do not attempt a mud pit, water crossing, hill, or technical section simply because someone ahead of you completed it. Conditions change, vehicles differ, and skill levels vary widely. Avoid riding alone in remote sections of the property, keep a fully charged phone on you, and never ride while impaired. Know how to contact park staff if an emergency occurs.
Park policies, vehicle requirements, admission rules, and trail conditions can change. Always review River Neck Acres’ current rules and contact the park directly with questions before your visit.
What Should You Bring For A Day Of Riding?
Preparation makes the difference between a great day and a frustrating one. Here’s a practical packing list.
Riding Essentials
- Helmet and protective gear
- Vehicle keys and required paperwork
- Extra fuel
- Tire repair kit and basic tools
- Tow strap or recovery equipment
- Portable air compressor
- First-aid kit
- Fully charged phone with waterproof protection
Personal Essentials
- Water and electrolyte drinks

Sample Adventure Itinerary For Cozy Turtle Guests
Friday: Arrive And Get Cozy
Check into your Myrtle Beach area campground after Cozy Turtle has already delivered and fully set up your RV. Put away food, organize your gear, and review the next day’s weather and park information. Get a solid night of sleep before the riding begins.
Saturday: Hit The Trails
Eat breakfast in the RV and pack your water, snacks, safety gear, and extra clothing. Leave early enough to complete check-in at River Neck Acres without rushing. Start on easier trails, take breaks throughout the day, and listen to your body. Return to the campground, shower, cook dinner, and put your feet up.
Sunday: Slow Down And Enjoy Myrtle Beach
Sleep in. Enjoy a relaxed campground morning. Head to the beach or a nearby attraction. Cook a simple meal inside or on the outdoor mat. Sort your muddy riding gear before the drive home—trust us, it’s easier to do it before you get back.
Why An RV Makes An Off-Road Weekend More Comfortable
After a day of mud, trails, and nonstop activity, there is nothing better than coming back to a comfortable place where you can cool down, make dinner, and put your feet up. We deliver and set up your RV, so your home base is ready before the adventure begins.
Riders have somewhere clean and comfortable to rest after a physically demanding day. A stocked kitchen makes breakfast, packed lunches, and a proper dinner easy. Families have room to spread out—far more than a standard hotel room allows. A private bathroom and climate-controlled interior feel especially valuable after a long, hot, or muddy day on the trails. And outdoor camping mats help create a dedicated space for shoes and riding gear, keeping the interior organized.
Cozy Turtle handles free delivery and full setup at participating Myrtle Beach area campgrounds. Add optional linens, a fire pit, or a Blackstone griddle to make the experience feel even more like home. Guests can focus entirely on the vacation instead of towing, leveling, and connecting an RV.
