Olive Grove Family Camp Packing List: What to Bring

Families will be staying in family bungalows.  Due to the size of the bungalows, we recommend packing as lightly as possible and use a duffle bag or smaller suitcase.

  • 1 pair of sports shoes
  • Waterproof beach shoes or sandals; sturdy beach shoes/sandals are important since the beach is pebbly.
