I spent a few days tent camping and hunting. The property is easy to access and has plenty of space. It’s a super quiet area in the middle of the National Forest. Enjoyed clear skies, plenty of stars, and good communication from the host.

The area was cleared and level for a tent or even a camper. Jeff had a fire pit already set up to use. You are able to see the Moon and stars in the country area he has cleared out. Easy to located. It was very peaceful and the nature of the birds, crickets and the hoot owl were amazing! We would recommend this camp site to anyone!!!

We stayed at little bear and had a fantastic time! The bed was very comfortable and the tent had everything you could need to cook, eat, and even had an AC unit! Very helpful in the July heat. We paddled around on the pond and enjoyed making s'mores on the campfire. Krystl met with us and allowed us to pet and feed the horses which were beautiful. Overall an amazing glamping experience. Would definitely recommend!

Weekend Trip to Laurel Oaks Estate

We loved staying in the Little Bear! The amenities this space has to offer are endless - lovely outdoor shower with provided towels, covered porch, fire pit and chairs, very clean portapotty, farm fresh eggs (that were delicious!), a grill and all the kitchen wear needed to cook, a mini fridge, flashlights if you’ve forgotten yours, extra blankets, a space heater/cooling unit, indoor and outdoor games, and usb ports connected to the bed for electronics charging. Each site is spaced out enough that you only see people when they are driving to/from their site. It feels very secluded and private. The nature is beautiful; with the pond, trails, and all of the animal sounds! The estate is close enough to the beach that we were able to spend the day at Litchfield Beach and stop at Broadway on the Beach on the way back. We loved it and hope to bring our friends to Laurel Oak’s Estate for a group trip soon!

Had such a great time at Little Bear! It was my first time glamping and I honestly loved it. The spot is super peaceful with beautiful views and a lake nearby. My partner and I went for morning jogs and even spotted some animals from the nearby farm. The tent had everything we needed, and the bed and linens were super cozy. We grabbed eggs and firewood from them too, which made for an awesome breakfast and some s’mores by the fire. It’s really close to Myrtle Beach, so you get that quiet nature vibe but still near all the fun. Hosts were super friendly and easy to communicate with. Definitely recommend Little Bear <3

We loved our weekend getaway in the Little Bear. This was exactly what we needed to get away for the weekend. It was very private even with other sites nearby. The hosts thought of everything that you would need to camp, cook, and have fun. It was very well done and we would definitely stay here again!!

It was literal perfection from start to finish! It’s the sweetest area, so remote and quaint! All the wildlife; fishing, turkeys and everything that you can expect to come along in the Lowcountry! Besides the fact that it is the cutest set up, the bed was super comfy, they had all the essentials you could possibly think of. I will 100% be back! Thank you for a wonderful weekend far enough away to feel like I got away but close enough for emergencies!
