Hygiene and Personal Essentials to Pack

Even though Laurel Oaks provides comfortable indoor and outdoor spaces, bringing your personal-care basics will enhance your enjoyable stay.

Toiletries and skincare. Toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, soap, deodorant, and lotion will help you stay refreshed throughout your stay. With so many beautiful outdoor trails, peaceful walking paths, and fresh-air activities around Laurel Oaks Estate, you will want to freshen up after a day of exploring.
Sunscreen and SPF lip balm. The South Carolina sunshine is one of the best parts of a glamping getaway, especially if you plan to take a quick trip to nearby beaches. A good sunscreen and SPF lip balm help protect your skin and lips from harmful UV rays, which can be amplified by reflective surfaces like sand and water. Packing these essentials ensures you can enjoy long, comfortable days outside without worrying about overexposure.
Insect repellent. The natural setting invites wildlife and evening breezes, but mosquitoes also enjoy warm weather. Repellent helps you relax outside without distraction.
Beach towels. We provide plenty of towels but if you plan to head to Myrtle Beach, you’ll want to use your beach towel.
Comfort items. A favorite blanket or pillow makes your sleep experience feel familiar, especially in the canvas tent or camper. We want you to make yourself at home and these familiar items can add to that feeling. (Although, we do provide bedding!)

Cooking and Food Essentials for Your Stay

One of the most enjoyable perks at Laurel Oaks is the delivery of fresh eggs right to your site. This makes breakfast easy and relaxing. So, you won’t need to worry about packing those! Here are some suggested glamping essentials to bring for mealtimes:

Breakfast items. Bread, butter, fruit, or your favorite seasonings so you can create a simple morning meal without needing to pack much food.
Light snacks and simple meals. Snacks help if kids get hungry or if adults want something quick during a break. Simple grill-friendly foods also make outdoor cooking enjoyable.
Condiments and seasonings. Basic spices and cooking oil elevate meals made on the grill. They also pair well with our fresh morning eggs.
A small cooler or insulated bag. Useful for beverages or perishable items. This is especially helpful in the tent or camper, which include smaller refrigerators.
Food storage containers. These keep leftovers fresh and help prevent wildlife from being attracted to your site.
Trash bags. Easy cleanup keeps your outdoor living space pleasant and protects the natural surroundings.

When You Prefer Not to Cook

Laurel Oaks already provides grills, basic kitchenware, outdoor dining space, and fresh eggs. You only need to bring items that support the meals you enjoy most.

If you decide to take a break from grilling or outdoor meals, you will find restaurants within a short drive. Your packing list can stay light and flexible because you have options both onsite and nearby.

Entertainment Essentials for Relaxed Days and Evenings

Glamping invites you to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the outdoors. These items help make the most of your stay.

Books or an e-reader. Perfect for quiet mornings in a hammock or evenings at the picnic table.
Card games or compact board games. Great for couples who want a low-key night in, families with kids, or groups of friends.
Portable speaker at a respectful volume. Adds ambiance during cooking or fireside conversations.
Daypack or tote. Ideal for short walks, exploring the property, or heading offsite for local nature viewing.
The estate’s peaceful setting is perfect for spotting birds, wildlife, and scenic views you might otherwise miss. A small pair of binoculars adds a fun layer of discovery during walks, hikes, or quiet mornings outdoors.

Outdoor Enjoyment Essentials & Suggestions

The Conway SC area offers a warm climate and a beautiful setting. These items help you stay comfortable and ready for every part of your glamping adventure.

Breathable clothing and layers. South Carolina weather can shift from warm afternoons to cooler nights. Layers keep you comfortable from daytime hiking to nights spent around the firepit.
Hats and sunglasses. Sun protection supports long, enjoyable days outside.
Sturdy shoes or sandals. Good for walking through grassy areas and exploring surrounding views.

Practical and Safety Gear

While Laurel Oaks offers amenities that feel more like a boutique stay than a campsite, a few safety items make every trip easier.

Flashlights or headlamps. Helpful for navigating the grounds at night or adding a bit of extra light outdoors.
First-aid kit. Pack basic items like bandages, pain relievers, tweezers, and antiseptic wipes. Even small activities like hiking or cooking can lead to minor scrapes.
Portable phone charger. Keeps your devices powered during day trips or long outdoor stretches.
Light rain gear. Afternoon showers can pop up quickly in the warmer months.
