Camping Games for Kids and Grown-Ups
Limiting interactions with folks other than your own crew won’t spoil the fun when you have plenty of things to do in your RV or right beside it.
Sure, you can bring your own lawn games, like cornhole or pickleball sets, but all the parks have those things already.
If you really want to purchase something, try a badminton set. Badminton is like tennis ‘lite’. It comes with a net, poles to poke into the ground, four racquets, and several birdies. Fun! And the whole gang will get some exercise running back and forth to whack the birdie.
To really have some family bonding time, though, turn to old-school activities where people used to actually talk to each other.
How about easy-to-store board games, like…
Monopoly
This classic will definitely appeal to the junior real-estate baron and financier in your family. Lasts for hours, too. Get out of jail, extort funds from the other players and pay rent. Just like real life. It’s a great game to while away the afternoon.
Candy Land
Is a simple racing board game. The game requires no reading and minimal counting skills, making it suitable for young children. Due to the design of the game, there is no strategy involved…players are never required to make choices, just follow directions.
Parcheesi
The game of Parcheesi, or Pachisi as it called in India, where it originated, was created back in the 16th century. Now it is one of the most popular board and strategy games in the world.
Scrabble
If you love spelling, math and spatial relationships, this is the game for you. Scrabble now comes in travel editions with ridges on the board so the letter tiles don’t slide around while Dad is driving. Plus, if you get really good at Scrabble there are national and international tournaments where top players can win big bucks.
Cards Against Humanity
Send the kids to bed. This is a fun game for adults with a wacky sense of humor.
Charades
Spooky fun when played at night around the flickering light of the campfire. Encourages your acting skills.
