Beach & Watersound Beach Club essentials
Guests get private beach club access with included chairs, umbrellas, kayaks and paddleboards via the Watersound Beach Club and a complimentary shuttle to the beach club. Even though some beach equipment is provided, bring your own sun basics and any personal water-activity gear you prefer.
What to pack: reef-safe sunscreen, a wide-brim hat, polarized sunglasses, a lightweight cover-up, a beach bag, and a reusable water bottle. If you plan to snorkel or bodyboard, bring your own mask/snorkel or water shoes — rentals are available at the beach club but personal equipment is neater and fits better.
- Reef-safe sunscreen (sport/sweat-resistant)
- Hat, sunglasses, and lightweight cover-up
- Swimwear + quick-dry towel (hotel supplies pool/beach towels too)
- Water shoes, snorkel mask, rash guard (optional)
- Dry bag or zip pouch for phone/wallet
| Traveler | Suggested Quantity |
|---|---|
| Solo traveler | 1 hat, 1–2 swim suits, 1 reef-safe sunscreen |
| Couple | 2 hats, 2–4 swim suits, shared sun umbrella / extras |
| Family (kids) | Extra sun shirts, pool toys, child-size flotation |
Pools, lazy river & water play
Camp Creek Inn has multiple pool options including a lazy river, waterslide, a zero-entry activity pool, and an adults-only lap pool (21+). Pool rules prohibit glass, outside food or coolers, and require family-friendly swimwear.
Pack items for a long pool day and for the adults-only pool if you plan laps: non-spill water bottle, swim goggles, a cover-up for when you leave pool areas, and flip-flops or slides. If you prefer your own floatation, bring small, hotel-approved floats — check pool rules on arrival.
- Non-spill water bottle (allowed in adult lap pool only)
- Goggles, swim cap if you plan laps
- Cover-up and footwear for walking outside pool areas
- Waterproof phone pouch

Golf, tennis & pickleball gear
Camp Creek Inn guests have access to an on-site Tom Fazio golf course and a Racquet Center with tennis and pickleball courts. The resort can provide clubs, lessons and caddies and has a pro shop, but many players prefer to bring personal grips or shoes.
If you plan to play, pack your usual golf or racquets footwear, breathable sports polos or tops, a hat, and sunscreen. For evening or club lunch after play, have a smart resort-casual polo or collared shirt on hand to meet clubhouse dress expectations.
- Golf shoes or grippy sneakers (soft spikes if required by course)
