Camping Ideas for Kid Friendly Family Vacations

Some of our favorite camping games are simply games that you can enjoy at home in your kitchen or backyard - the games are just more fun in a family camping environment.

 

Our family has been family camping for the past few years. We started out tent camping, and have since moved on to a Jayco JayFlight camper.  Our kids actually enjoy family camping - we do not get any complaints about them being bored, and they are actually entertaining themselves without television or video games!!!  Our children love to get out on their bicycles and ride for hours on end, getting in the creek, throwing rocks, hiking.... you name it!

Why go camping? Family camping vacations are a perfect way to build memories, build relationships with your family, spend quality time outdoors.  Where else can you have the opportunity to spend time with your family around a campfire, cook outdoors, play camping games, spend some time involved in fun camping activities, and just spend quality time with your family in a great outdoor environment....so, get your kids camping equipment together, and lets hit the trail.

So, now we know that family camping can be fun and adventuresome, but.... what are some good camping ideas......

Weekend Trips

Every area of the country has state parks, and National Parks.  We really enjoy camping at the state parks in our area.  If you keep your camping supplies ready to go by following our camping checklist, you can take a weekend family camping trip without much planning or preparation.  The state parks that we have camped in offer programs such as "ghost stories" by the campfire and nature walks....

Family Camping Vacations

We have taken our camper on several of our family vacations. We have camped in Williamsburg, VA. and Myrtle Beach , SC on week long trips.  The family camping trips have been some of our favorite trips.... the campgrounds that we have found offer many more activities than hotels, and you get the taste of outdoors that you get only with camping.  No matter where you choose to go, there are campgrounds out there..... but the best resource that we have found is the Trailer Life Campground Directory -  An up-to-date, full descriptions and details are provided for nearly 12,000 public and private campgrounds.
