A Guide to Family Fun in Your Camper

A family camper offers fun for all ages. Where grandparents can see landmarks that they've always dreamed of visiting, parents can enjoy spending quality time with their kids. Traveling with the whole family can enhance your vacation greatly via shared experiences and making new memories. This includes all the extra moments along the way, from board games to roasting marshmallows!

Here are a few fun activities for the whole family to do while on your next camping trip! 

Build a Campfire

A classic activity for families is building a campfire, an activity that everyone will love. Gather around the fire and enjoy s'mores, as you tell ghost stories and roast marshmallows! The kids will love helping to start the fire and getting the roaring crackle going, while the adults can relax and enjoy the peaceful ambiance.  

Go on a Scavenger Hunt

Create your own adventure with a scavenger hunt. You can do this in or out of the camper, but if you're doing it during the drive, make sure to give the kids tasks that will allow them to remain seated and won’t distract the driver. For an outdoor scavenger hunt, send them searching for plants, rocks, insects and leaves, or any other natural beauties! 

Take a Hike

Hiking is a great outdoor activity that everyone can enjoy. Stop at an RV park within a short walk from the forest or other open space, and head out on a leisurely hike. The kids will love finding natural treasures along the way, and the whole family can enjoy all that the great outdoors has to offer! 

Go Fishing

Fishing is a calming activity that offers some bonding time for the whole family, so grab your poles and see what you can catch! In addition, a fishing excursion is a great way to help the kids wind down from a full day of excitement. The entire family can simply sit, relax, and enjoy each other's company.

Play Board Games

For those indoor days or bad-weather days on the road, nothing beats a board game for family fun in the camper. Classics like Monopoly, Scrabble, and checkers are always a great time to play, and they will keep the whole family busy for hours. Bring out the popcorn and serve up the best game night snacks for a fun night in!
