The Best Outdoor Games to Take Camping

The most relaxing camping trips are sometimes the ones you don’t leave your campsite. Just enjoy the outdoors and spend quality time with your family. Here is a list of outdoor games to take on your next camping adventure that is sure to make your weekend getaway a fun and relaxing one.

Lighted Bocce Ball

This Bocce Ball set looks like so much fun! I love to play the game and it would be awesome to be able to play it at night as well. My kids would love this. You can find this glow-in-the-dark set here.

Ring Toss

We have this in our camper now and have played it on almost all of our camping trips. It is a great outdoor game to play with kids and adults. The game is so easy to store and put together. This is a must for anyone camping with kids! You can find the ring toss game here.

Scavenger Hunt Card Game

This would be a fun outdoor game to play with little kids. It would be a great way for them to explore their environment and make discoveries on a camping trip. You can find this card game here.

Outdoor Checkers

This unique checker board would be easy to pack and store in your camper. A simple game of checkers at the picnic table is a great way to enjoy your relaxing camping trip. You can find it here.

Trampoline Paddle Game

This outdoor paddle game looks like a blast to play. It comes with four paddles (discs), three string balls, and a storage bag. This would be the perfect camping game for an active family. You can find it here.

Light Up Poi Ball

While poi balls really aren’t a game, though my boys would totally turn it into a competition, they would be amazing to play with at night at the campsite. They look like a lot of fun and would definitely be entertaining for all ages. You can find the light-up poi balls here.

Waterproof Playing Cards

There are so many games you could play with these playing cards. They would be perfect for playing outside at the picnic table waiting for dinner to cook. What is so great about these cards is they don’t take up much room and are waterproof. Perfect for any type of camping trip! You can find the cards here.

Portable Cornhole

While this set is not a regulation size for a cornhole tournament, it is the perfect size to fit into your camper. My youngest loves to play cornhole, but our set is way too big and cumbersome to pack on camping trips. This set would be ideal for him. You can find this classic outdoor game here.

Compact Table Tennis Set

This packable table tennis set would be fantastic for any camping trip. Though one reviewer stated they had trouble getting it to work with their picnic table, they eventually made it work. It must depend on the thickness of the table. You can find it here to give it a try on your next camping trip.

Kan Jam Original Disc Throwing Game

So I watched a video on this game because I have never heard of it. It looks easy to pick up on the rules. It is a very active game and I would think you would need a larger campsite to play it in or an open common area. But it looks like a lot of fun. The glow in the dark Kan Jam is more expensive then the original version, but how awesome would this be to play in the dark. You can find the game here.

I hope this list inspires you to find the perfect camping game for your family. Check out my other blog post Must Have RV/Camper Supplies for more ideas for the perfect campsite. Happy Camping!
