Best window to arrive falls in Mid-March through May and September through October; worst is August when peak Grand Strand traffic and hurricane window vigilance. Scenic-drive options leave town via Atlantic Coastal Heritage Byway (US-17) and Heritage Corridor Scenic Byway. The most common arrival mistake is trying to drive any RV on ocean boulevard during summer cruise events — boulevard closes to all vehicles during posted events; tow risk if caught between closures.
Every fact above traces to a primary source listed at the bottom of this guide.

Parking ordinances that bite RVs
No person shall stand or park a vehicle on any roadway or in any parking space in the city for the purpose of camping, sleeping, lodging or taking up residence in any camper, van, bus or other motor vehicle, on the public streets or in any park or public place. City council may authorise such temporary use as a special event.
Citation: Myrtle Beach Code of Ordinances Sec. 12-90(4) (Parking for certain purposes prohibited)
What this means for you: Names campers directly and covers parks and public places as well as streets. There is no hour window — the prohibited purpose is camping or sleeping itself, at any time of day. The special-event carve-out is a genuine mechanism (used for rallies and bike weeks) but it must be authorised by council, not assumed.
No person shall stand or park a vehicle on any roadway or in any parking space in the city for the purpose of storage, or as junkage or dead storage, for more than 24 hours.
Citation: Myrtle Beach Code of Ordinances Sec. 12-90(6) (Parking for certain purposes prohibited)
What this means for you: The companion to the camping ban: even if nobody is sleeping in the rig, leaving it parked as storage for more than 24 hours is prohibited. Between (4) and (6) there is no lawful way to leave an RV on a Myrtle Beach street overnight and no lawful way to leave it there empty for a second day.
