Plan Activities

Planning activities is one of the best ways you can keep your kids entertained and ensure they have lots of memories to take home. This doesn’t mean you have to have every moment of the camping trip on an itinerary, but it does help to have one big activity for kids to look forward to each day. Whether it’s a trip to a sightseeing location, a day out on the water, or just spending some time at the pool, planning activities for the kids is a great way to keep them active and happy.

Give Them Space

By the same token, giving your kids time to entertain themselves is a good idea. One of the best ways to do this is by taking home a bunkhouse RV, especially those with private bunkhouses. The privacy gives the kids a space where they can cool down or relax or just take some time to rest after spending time at the pool or hiking the local trails.

Take Family Outings

Be sure to plan plenty of family outings or family activities during your stay. Camping is a great way to grow closer together, and by having designated times for activities, you’ll ensure to keep everyone engaged and having fun.

Get Them Involved

Another great way to keep your kids active and involved is by having them help with the campground chores. This can be gathering firewood, helping to keep things tidy, or even making dinner together.

Plan for Rain

It never fails if you don’t plan for rain; it will rain on your camping trip. The best thing to do is plan for at least one day of rain during your stay. We recommend bringing along board games, planning a movie night with popcorn, or other indoor activities you can enjoy together.

Encourage Active Play

We go camping to get out into nature and unplug, so practicing this with your kids is a good idea. Just like we have recommended, having designated family time, selected activities, and assigned chores, having some time away from screens is a great way to engage your child’s mind and get them to try new things. Encourage them to learn to ride a bike, play at the playground with their friends, and maybe even toss the frisbee around or play a little T-ball.
