One of the best things about camping with children is that you are away from screens and into the great outdoors. But let us be honest, kids still need things to do.

For even more ways to keep everyone happy, take a look at our camping recipes for families too.
Outdoor Games and Activities for the Campsite
A good campsite gives children space to run, explore and play in a way that is harder to find at home. Classic outdoor games like rounders, frisbee, capture the flag and scavenger hunts come into their own in a field or woodland setting. The articles here cover the best outdoor games to pack and play at the campsite, requiring minimal equipment and maximum fun.
Campfire Games and Evening Activities
Once the sun goes down and you are gathered around the fire, the evenings can be some of the most memorable parts of a camping trip. Campfire games, storytelling, stargazing and simple card games all work brilliantly in this setting. We share our favourite evening activities for families, from tried-and-tested campfire classics to newer ideas that work brilliantly with mixed ages.
