Explore Our History


In the early 1950s, the business began as a campground exclusively for employees of the Spring Textile Company. Colonel Elliott White Springs, a distinguished World War I fighter pilot and ace, acquired 30 acres of Myrtle Beach oceanfront land specifically for his employees to enjoy as a vacation retreat. Over the years, this humble campground evolved into the Springmaid Beach Resort. Subsequently, it expanded to include a conference center and an additional room tower, marking its transformation into a well-regarded destination.
