Fun Camping Activities For the Whole Family

Camping in itself is a fun and exciting activity. However, there's plenty of ways to make it even more enjoyable. From outdoor games to exploring your surroundings, there will be something fun for everybody on your trip! Here's a few ideas to get you started.

Lawn and Yard Games

Lawn or yard games are a great way to have some easy fun and involve the whole family. There's ladder golf, corn hole, or even bocce ball. Most lawn games are made to be collapsible or easily broken down making it super easy to transport and perfect to bring camping. My personal favorite lawn game is corn hole. It makes for some great friendly competition between family and friends. You can also pair up and do two teams of two getting more people involved quickly!

Board and Card Games

Although not as active as lawn games, board games are a great way to entertain while camping! Board games are great for the whole family no matter the ages and easy to take camping. Whether you're playing around a campfire, or in the comfort of one of our AdVANture Vans, there's more than enough fun to be had for everyone involved. Be sure to bring a variety of games on your trip. Maybe you bring an old favorite or perhaps you pick up something new to try out! Whatever the case it's guaranteed to be a great time! But wait! Don't forget the playing cards! There are an endless amount of games to play just with a deck of cards involving multiple players. Card games are just better in the outdoors and a campfire!

Scavenger Hunts

Scavenger hunts are a great way to learn and explore your surrounding area all while having fun! This may require some prep work to make a list of the items that need to be found, but it will definitely be worth it. A lot of my scavenger hunt lists include taking pictures just so you don't disturb the landscape. It also makes for some great keepsakes! Some ideas to include are a picture of some wildlife, pictures of animal tracks, or even a picture of an animal's home. Again, be sure to not disturb the wildlife or their habitat. One way to take a scavenger hunt to the next level is to involve some prizes for whoever finishes the fastest!

Conclusion

Planning out some activities to do while camping can really elevate your experience! It's a great way to keep everyone involved and having a good time. Some games and activities can really help bond or connect your family even more. Lastly, don't forget there are always bragging rights on the line with friendly competition!
