Fun camping activities for kids: The Best Camping Activities for Kids

The Best Camping Activities for Kids

Going camping with kids is a classic childhood activity.  We had taken my older two camping, but my younger daughter had never been so it has been on our family to do list for a while.

When KOA asked if we wanted to try out one of their Kampgrounds this summer we jumped at the chance.  It was a ton of fun discovering “What is behind the yellow sign” and we came up with a list of must-do camping activities for kids!

We stayed at the Naples/Marco Island KOA campground in FL which is considered a KOA Holiday campground.  They say Holiday campgrounds make great base camps for discovering a new area and I would have to agree—it was the perfect spot to experience all of the fun of camping while also exploring the beaches of Marco Island.

Things to Do at Naples/Marco Island KOA Campground

We booked our stay without knowing a lot about the area and loved that we didn’t have to spend a ton of time researching activities.   At the Naples/Marco Island KOA you can swim in the large pool, go in the hot tub, go fishing, walk on the nature paths, rent a canoe, play on the Fishing Shack themed playground and rent bicycles without having to leave the campground.  There are even manatees in Henderson Creek that campers have seen while canoeing and kayaking!

In addition to the activities on site the owners also highly recommended checking out the local beaches and explained that the area is known for their shelling and white sand beaches. Yay!

There are also airboat tours of the Everglades nearby that we hope to check out on our next visit.

Camping in a Cabin with Kids

There were so many fun activities to do at the campground, but getting to sleep in the cabin and cook over the campfire was by far my kids’ favorite!

We stayed in a Deluxe Cabin that has 2 bedrooms, a bathroom with a shower, air conditioning and even a flat screen TV.  There is also a small kitchen area, free wifi, a large screened-in porch, a gas grill and huge fire pit stocked with firewood.   It is a non-camper’s dream!

For those that are more into “roughing it” than we are, they also have tent sites, RV sites and one room camping cabins (without a bathroom).

Best Camping Activities for Kids

With so many things to do at a KOA campground and even more in the surrounding towns there aren’t a lot of activities you have to plan for your kids, but there are some we think you just must do.

These are the best camping activities for kids that make a family camping trip complete!

1. Go on a nature walk.
2. Cook over the campfire.
3. Watch for animals.
4. Make s’mores.
5. Tell stories by the fire.
6. Play cards or board games.
7. Make leaf prints and rock pets.
8. Play flashlight tag.
9. Sing campfire songs.
10. Make shadow puppets
11. Catch fireflies or other bugs.
12. Look at the stars.

Camping Boredom Busters

If you are looking for more fun ideas you can also try these camping “boredom busters” for kids:

1. Go on a scavenger hunt.
2. Read a book.
3. Play glow in the dark tic tac toe.
4. Go swimming.
5. Play catch.
6. Make nature sketches.
7. Decorate your own sit-upons.
8. Bike ride.
9. Find a walking stick and go on a hike.
10. Go fishing.
11. Make ice cream in a bag.
12. Rent a canoe.
13. Make a friendship bracelets.
14. Play I Spy.
15. Make stone sculptures.
16. Skip stones.
17. Tie dye a shirt.
18. Cloud watch.

One of the things we enjoyed most about our family camping trip was the chance to just hang out and be together.  We took advantage of our screened in porch and spent time outside drawing, reading and watching the animals and bugs all around us.  If you follow me on Instagram you know that we met up with a family of racoons and got to see a live sand dollar on the beach.

Keeping the activities simple and fun is a great way for everyone to enjoy a vacation! (It also helped to have a well-stocked campground with people who are there with tips and supplies—they even have coffee in the general store!)

Let’s chat about camping and planning activities

Firstly, let’s agree that some families are all about planning and scheduling their fun while other families are more flexible and adaptable with their free time.

Which type of family are you?

Are you the mom who likes to have crafts all prepared and set out for when the craft bug bites?  Are you the family that gathers nightly for board games or plays word games on long drives?

Or are you the family that is happy to find entertainment in the moment, and have kids that are content to occupy themselves with what they find at hand?

And then, some of you might be a little bit of both.

For me, when it comes to camping, I really don’t want to spend more time than necessary packing.  Don’t get me wrong, I might already spend too much time trying to make sure our trip is as easy as possible with lots of at-home food prep and packing organizing.   But, I am also aware that all the ‘extra’ items I pack will also have to be re-packed, brought back home, and put away again.

So, with that in mind, our family does not bring a lot of extras.

However, our kids rarely complain of being bored while camping.

Why?  Because just being outside is so much fun! 

But, there are always exceptions like if the weather is really cold or rainy or they’re feeling overwhelmed and tired, or we’re on a really long camping trip and the novelty of the campsite is starting to wear off, or you have older kids that might not enjoy digging in the dirt and climbing trees as much as they want to sulk and complain about not having wi-fi.

Those are the times when it’s handy to have a few campground activities for kids in mind!

So, read on and pick a few of these to plan and be prepared for.

Crafty Camping Activities for kids

If you’re okay with bringing some craft supplies and with having to manage a little crafting clean up while camping, you might want to consider having some nature craft ideas in mind.

Nature can be very inspirational for kids.

Sometimes just providing some colored paper, crayons, and glue is enough to get them involved in a project.

Crafting at the Campsite

Here are some suggestions you could give them to get their creativity flowing:

• Have a birthday party for their stuffie
• Make a treasure hunt
• Create a nature collage
• Have a paper air plane flying contest
• Make camping hats decorated with leaves and twigs
• Make a book to record all their nature finds at the campsite
• Create a camping comic book
• Challenge your kids to make a map of the campground

Rock Painting

If you added paint to the craft supplies you might want to suggest they paint rocks they find around the campsite.   Using water-based non-toxic paints means the rocks will be washed clean again by the rain or you could gather rocks to paint and bring home (if picking rocks is allowed where you’re camping).

Rock painting with Sixth Bloom

Sixth Bloom shares all the details of how they enjoyed rock painting with their preschoolers in this article.

Nature Paintings

Here’s another nature paint project by Fireflies and Mudpies.  Read more on their site to see how they chose to do some outdoor crafting and the interesting game they played with their completed camouflage artwork afterwards.

camouflage painting with Fireflies and Mudpies

Once, on a longer camping trip with my children, I brought along finger paints.  The kids spent a good hour or more painting and enjoying themselves.  They used their fingers and without my suggestion even started painting with grasses, leaves, and pine cones they found around the campsite.

Finger painting at the campground

Fun with Clay and Nature Treasures

If you and your kids can locate some clay or mud you could use that to mold into shapes and add some nature treasures to make designs and images.   It’s fun to make faces on tree trunks with clay and rocks and such.

Even without the clay, your kids can make pictures and faces with nature treasures.  Check out these nature portraits by Adventure in a Box for more ideas.

Nature Portraits by Adventure in a Box

I’ll be honest and say that most of my toddler’s campground play involves just the treasures they find at the campsite: hauling rocks and sticks around, making roads in the dirt, throwing pine cones, and climbing trees.

Stick Mazes

Here’s a fun idea if you find yourself in a spot with a lot of fallen wood on the ground:  Mazes using sticks.  Read more about making stick mazes at Mother Natured.

Stick Mazes by Mother Natured

Shelters and Lean-tos

And, if you happen to be in a spot with a lot of fallen wood you could help your kids create a shelter or little fort.  We’ve come across some pretty fancy lean-tos and log shelters.

Building shelters can be a whole family activity while camping

Even if you don’t have a lot of large sticks available, you can offer your kids an old sheet or tarp and some rope for them to try building with.   I usually have an extra tarp when we go camping that the kids can use for this reason.  They get to practice making shelters and it usually takes them hours. Then, when they’re finally done, they have a little private spot for the duration of the stay.

Nature Activities at the Campground

What better place to encourage some nature learning and exploration. Below you’ll find our favourite nature-y things to do while camping.

However, we find that if given a little bit of time and encouragement our kids will start exploring and asking great questions which have led to all sorts of neat discoveries.  Because of this, we now keep some local field guides in our camper all the time.

Using Field Guides

We’ve found that our kids will find rocks, plants, and bugs and then spend time looking in the books to compare and try to identify their discoveries.

On one camping trip my daughter, 4 at the time and completely unable to read, carried our Kaufman Guide to Birds book around in her pink bike basket the entire weekend.    She was so eager to show us all the exotic birds she was spotting and reading about on her little trips around the campsite loop.

If you have a little one interested in birds, you could even fashion a pair of toilet paper binoculars to help encourage that curiosity…. or even let them use the real binoculars for a special treat! (These are my favorite kid binoculars and we love them!)

Our favourite kid binoculars:

• Super durable
• Fit kid’s small faces
• Good magnification
• Ours are still in great shape after years of use!

On another trip, our guy gathered up all sorts of rocks by the riverbank, then brought them back to the campsite to see if he could break them open or identify them.  I think he was a little disappointed he didn’t find any gold or gems, but it still kept him occupied for a few hours while I enjoyed an ice tea and quiet reading.

Nature Scavenger Hunts and Nature Journaling

If your kids need a little encouragement to explore, a scavenger hunt is a great tool to get them moving and looking with curious eyes.   There are so many different types of hunts you can do: touch and feel hunts, color hunts, insect or animal hunts, seasonal scavenger hunts, even great big find everything type of hunts.

Take them outside has quite a few different scavenger hunts to choose from.  By joining the Take Them Outside Newsletter you’ll get access to all the ones we have in our printables resource library.  We even have a few camping scavenger hunts specific to safety and getting oriented at the campsite, as well as one for a fun group activity at the campground.

Here’s a bug scavenger hunt you can print and bring along.  I love that this one by Messy Little Monster because it is just images making it easier for littler kids.

Vacation and camping trips are perfect times to take some time for nature reflection.  I’m not into regular journaling in my day-to-day life, but on vacation or when I’m out in the woods for a length of time, I start to want to write and draw more.

And, your kids might enjoy some prompting to also get creative while outdoors.   There are so many nature journal templates and printables available these days.  But, the simplest is just to bring along a little blank notebook (or staple together some pages to make your own).

For you or your older kids you might ask them to record their observations and activities for the day, for littler kids you could ask them to draw what they see or what they’ve done at the campground.

Fun around the Campfire

Just gathering supplies and starting the campfire is a good activity in itself.  If you have older kids and trust their skills you can have them help break down sticks, haul wood, and even light the fire.

Fire Starting for Kids

Our kids particularly enjoy experimenting with fire starting material.   If this is an activity you think you’ll get your kids involved in you might want to mention it at home so the kids can think about what would work for fire starting and pack those materials themselves.

My kids have experimented with dryer lint, cotton balls, newspaper, tissue paper, cardboard, egg cartons, bark, moss, cedar branches, and more.  I have purchased matches with longer handles and also a flint striker for them to use for safer fire starting.

Here’s a very comprehensive article all about fire starting materials , DIYs, and tips that you may want to check out if fire starting is an activity you’d like to teach your kids more about.

Fire starting is a valuable lesson for kids to learn while camping

All this fire play will need direct supervision and instruction on your part, but fire starting is an important life skill for everyone to have.  Plus your kids will be pretty proud to declare they started the fire to cook tonight’s meal or smores!

Speaking of S’mores, this is a fun camping activity if you happen to be camping without a campfire but still want to enjoy some s’mores!  You will need to prepare this ahead of time, or at least bring along the supplies… but it’s easy, really cool, and you’ll get a yummy treat at the end!

Read all about how we made smores with pizza box solar ovens here.

Campfire games

I didn’t grow up going to summer camp, but I did work as a camp counselor for a few years and singing songs around the campfire was so much fun!  I’ll admit that as a family we don’t sing many songs around the fire, but we have played the odd campfire game.

Here’s a few suggestions of quick circle games kids might enjoy:

• Telephone:  one person starts by whispering a phrase to their neighbor and that person whispers what they think they’ve heard to their neighbor and so on until it returns to the original person
• Would you rather:  Take turns asking each other questions like would you rather fly or be invisible, would you rather eat gummy bears or chocolate bars for breakfast, would you rather race your dad or your sister, and so on
• Alphabet games:  Choose a category like movies, book titles, or geographic locations.  One person starts by naming a movie and the letter that movie ends with becomes the letter the next movie named must start with.   So, for example, The Lego Movie… Ewoks… Star Wars… Solo…
• Name that Song:  This one is lots of fun with my kids.  I start singing a song and they have to guess if it’s real or if I made it up.  This game has gotten so intense that I’ve had to actually prove myself using youtube videos because they didn’t believe Lolipop and Mr. Sandman were actual songs!

Stargazing

Not a lot of prior planning needs to go into stargazing.  You just need to remember to look up once darkness falls.

But, if you’re wanting to make an event out of it, bring along some blankets, maybe a telescope or binoculars, a star map and head out to a dark open area to spend some quiet time contemplating and watching the night sky.

Camping Games and toys for kids

If you have room to bring along some games or equipment, here are a few campground favorites:

Bean Bag Toss / Cornhole

It’s a funny name for such a simple game.   Two boards, some bean bags, and somehow this game can lead to all-day-long tournaments.

You can purchase these kits or if you’re handy you can make your family a set.  Here are some DIY instructions for making your own game.

Capture the Flag

This one is lots of fun for larger groups and older kids.  You’d want to make sure that the players had a large safe area to play in with very defined borders.  Here’s a site with very detailed instructions on how to play capture the flag.

But, if you’re looking for the quick explanation here it is:  A large group would be divided into 2 teams.  Each team would hide a flag on their side.  The challenge is to capture the other team’s flag without being tagged.

Throw Something Around

Did you know the record for the longest Frisbee throw is more than 1000 feet?  I bet you and your kids can’t do that!  Frisbees can be used to play catch, you can have ultimate Frisbee Games, set up a Frisbee golf course, or just use them for digging in the dirt and hauling pine cones around!

Soccer balls, base balls, basket balls… all of these other games are fun to bring along to the campground too.

A lot of campground have horseshoe pits too.  You might need to ask at the main office to borrow the shoes if you don’t see any laying around.

You can very easily make up simple throwing games too.  Use some sticks to mark out a box on the ground, find some rocks and have the kids throw the rocks into various boxes for points.  I’m sure if you suggest your kids come up with some sort of competition they will!

Camping with Toddlers and Preschoolers?

If you happen to be camping with young children and toddlers, you’ll probably want to have some specific toys or activities that they’ll enjoy. While our toddlers were often content to play with balls, buckets, sticks, and shovels, we did usually bring along one or two ‘special camping toys’.

Bring along some big toys

Looking back over our past camping trips, I’d say the camping activity our kids have done the most of is biking.   If you have room for bikes and trust your kids can move around the campground safely, then bringing along some bikes might be a really good idea.

Not only do bikes give kids something to do, bikes also make getting around larger campgrounds much easier and quicker.

Other larger items you might want to bring to the campground:

• canoe, kid’s kayaks, float toys
• sand toys, shovels, pails
• wagon
• pop up play tents for toddlers
• slacklines

Both kids and adults will enjoy the challenge of a slackline at the campground

One of our favourite campground activities: the slackline!

• Easy to set up and take down (as long as you are camping with big trees)
• Great fun for all ages!

Quiet Activities for Camping

Have you taken a walk down the board game aisle at your local big department store lately?  It’s a little overwhelming if you ask me!

I have very fond memories of my family only ever playing spoons at the cottage.   The idea was pretty simple if I remember correctly… you all traded cards until something happened which triggered you grabbing for a spoon… which usually resulted in chairs flying and people screaming.   So, maybe spoons isn’t a quiet table game, but these are:

Card games

Just bring along a deck or two and you’re all set for crazy eights, rummy, go fish, old maid, and more.  Add a crib board and you can have a family crib tournament …or bring along a jar of pennies and teach your kids how to gamble at blackjack!

Uno

Yes, this is technically also a card game, but with fancier cards.  And, you can even get specialty-themed ones like Minecraft, Harry Potter, and Wilderness.

Board Games

If loosing pieces is a concern, think about these magnetic travel type games like checkers, or travel Scrabble.

But, if you’re not so worried about things getting lost or blowing away you might want to consider bringing along your favorite family game.  There’s no need to go out and buy something new unless you really want to surprise the family with a special edition of National Parks Monopoly or Yahtzee.

Photography

Camping is the perfect time to let kids explore how to use a camera.  There’s no shortage of beautiful nature to photograph.  You could create a photo scavenger hunt for them or challenge them to learn how to use some of the features on your phone’s camera – if you trust them with it, of course.

Who knows, you might have a budding photographer in your family and this camping trip is the time for that interest to grow and bloom!

Books

…saving the best idea for last!

Yes, reading is the ultimate camping activity (in my opinion)… sure, my kids might not agree.  But, that being said, they’ve always brought books along and have always complained when I turned the lights out before they were done reading.

Looking for some book suggestions?  Here’s a list full of kids picture books about bugs and this list is books all about camping and hiking.

Or, check out what’s on my bookshelf in the Amazon Take Them Outside Shop…. you’ll find all sorts of great reads about nature, about raising wild kids, and a few fun indulgences too!

A few last words of advice… don’t rescue your kids from their boredom too quickly.   Give them the opportunity to feel that inactivity and see what and where it leads them.  You might be surprised with what happens next.

Oh, and head over to this post if you want even more camping toys and game ideas!

So, for your next trip just plan for a few extra just-in-case campground activities and instead let your kids use nature and their imagination to keep themselves entertained.

PIK tourist club is happy to organize family trips, in which the smallest tourists can participate. Hiking with children is an opportunity to captivate a child with a healthy lifestyle, give him impressions that will be remembered for a long time. In addition, family trips allow all members of your family to unite. After all, a single goal is the best opportunity to become friendlier and more responsive, to get to know your loved ones deeper, their needs, strengths and weaknesses.

Organization of trips with children

Tourist club “PIK” conducts organized trips with children and parents to various parts of our planet. We have extensive experience in organizing children’s trips, and therefore we know what kind of trip a child of a particular age category can overcome.

Camp life is interesting and useful not only for adults, but also for children of any age. Whether it’s a one-year-old toddler exploring the world from a sling on his mother’s back, a 3-4-year-old serious person, the number of “why?” who exceeds the limits of reason, or a 7-12 year old teenager expanding the boundaries of the world day by day . ..

Tourism for children is an opportunity to get to know yourself, your abilities and the world around.

We know how to organize hikes with small children or even hikes in the mountains with the whole family. If you are still afraid to go to nature with children for a long time, we also organize weekend trips with a child. It’s fun, useful and safe!

Why go hiking with children?

Children’s trip to nature and mountains teaches a lot to all its participants. Domestic difficulties – a fire, setting up tents, cooking, searching for firewood under the strict guidance of experienced instructors brings the whole family together, makes you look at simple things with different eyes. Children during the trip with the help of adults master the skills of camp life, become more independent and attentive. In addition, children’s tourism can eventually become an important hobby for your child.

A family trip with children is a lot of fun! Lots of camping team games, campfire gatherings, swimming with the whole group, new like-minded friends that you will definitely make on a camping trip. All this is something new and priceless that will give you a family trip with children.

Camping with children in tents is a unique opportunity for young travelers to see a large and diverse world. Communication and vivid impressions during joint trips emotionally bring parents and children closer. In the memory for a long time there are pleasant moments about the rest spent together.

There is a lot of debate about when to start taking your child on a family hike. Every parent has an answer to this question: when you feel good yourself, and you are able to help a little person in field conditions. In the modern world of diapers, ergo backpacks, baby monitors and warm, light, quick-drying clothes, hiking with children, even the tiniest ones, has become much easier! So it’s time right now to discover the wonderful world of camping romance and family tourism for yourself and your child.

Come with us!

In the PIK tourist club, all children’s trips and active children’s tours are organized and led by people with extensive experience working with children, as a rule, they are parents themselves (often of large families) or spend a lot of time with children (children’s camps, volunteer projects), so we know the specifics and all the nuances of organizing children’s leisure.

Hiking with children 2023: active family holidays with the Adventure Club

It’s great to spend holidays with the whole family! You can finally escape from boring everyday life and just be with those you love. After all, on a hike you can not only get new impressions, but also get to know each other in a new way!

Children and parents get closer by spending the evening by the fire and falling asleep together in a tent. They tell each other secrets while walking along a mountain path, support and “cheer” for each other.

Did you know that your child is great at climbing trees? And what loves corn porridge? Does your child know that you are very good at carving wood with a knife? It’s time to dedicate the whole holiday to each other!

This section presents adult hikes that you can take your children with you. These are the most common hikes of a low level of difficulty that a child of a specified age can go through – see the age restrictions in the descriptions of the routes!

And if your child is still too young for these hikes, or if you want to be part of an all-family-with-children group with routes designed especially for participants with children, we invite you to check out the hiking section for families with children!
