Packing for a Luxury Vacation at the Lake of the Ozarks

May 14, 2020

As the summer season gets closer and businesses are getting ready for the summer crowd - you are probably ready to get back to your luxury vacation home at the Lake of the Ozarks. Your luxury lakefront property is probably already filled with most of the items you need - but you are definitely going to need a bag packed with your favorite clothing, so we’re going to give you a few packing tips for when you come out to the Lake of the Ozarks for a vacation next!

Coordinate Your Outfits

Whether you’re packing for a short weekend or a long visit to the Lake, coordinating outfits is a great way to consolidate what you bring. A few items that you won’t want to leave the house without are going to be anything black and dresses. Black items are easy to mix and match and can be both glammed up and toned down depending on the activities that you are enjoying at the Lake. Dresses are also an easy way to make your outfit a little extra and they don’t take up much room in your suitcase.

Pack For All of the Activities

There is a lot to do at the Lake of the Ozarks, and your wardrobe will need to be ready for versatility. One minute you’re hiking through the rolling Ozark hills enjoying the shady trees, nice summer weather, and looking for birds, bugs, and plants. The next minute you're headed out to one of our incredible five-star restaurants for dinner and then over to a concert. The next day you’ll be spending on the boat cruising down the main channel before lighting a fire in the fire pit and having a cozy evening at your luxury lakefront home at the Lake of the Ozarks. With all of these activities, you’ll be needing different outfits and accessories. Make sure to pack comfortable shoes, but also look for versatile shoes. Bring something that you can both hike in, but then wear through the water if you decide to go kayaking. Bring several pieces that can be dressed up, but also casual by changing out shoes or accessories. Don’t forget the swimwear, either! Whether you are enjoying a relaxing afternoon by your own luxury pool or spending the day on the boat, you’ll want to have the right water wear for these activities.

Quick Packing Tips

Looking for a revolutionary packing tip? These may or may not be it, but they certainly are going to help up your packing game and make traveling a little easier! We got some of our ideas from this article by Travel + Leisure - check out the original article get even more ideas!

Packing Cubes - if you haven’t tried them, you’ll want to! It’s an easy way to separate like items in your suitcase. Not only do they help keep everything from getting tangled up, but they make it easy to then transfer the items to the drawers when you arrive at your home.

Pack By Outfit - this can help eliminate those items that aren’t practical. You know what we’re talking about … coming back home after a weekend trip to find that half of the items weren’t even worn because you threw them at last minute and didn’t have an outfit for them. Packing by outfit helps to eliminate this, go top to bottom from the accessories to the shoes.

Pre-Pack - Because you may be planning to come out to your lake home numerous times this summer, even every weekend, save yourself some time by pre-packing. Keep all essentials in your weekend bag, and only take out the clothes when you get home. By leaving items like your travel-sized shampoos/conditioners, toiletries, and even certain accessories like your swimsuit, boat shoes, favorite flip-flops, sunglasses, wet bags for the boat, etc in your bag, you can save yourself time when you fly home on a Friday evening, throw stuff in your bag and then race to your car so you can enjoy a fun weekend at the Lake.

Choose Your Weekend Bag Carefully - opt for soft-sided travel bags over hard cases when it comes to weekend and carry on bags. Not only can you squeeze a LOT more into these types of bags, but they also take on the shape of what you’re packing. Even better than that, they take on the shape of what you pack them into - whether that is filling the last cranny of your car, or squeezing it into the overhead on the airplane.
