Five Incredibly Fun Outdoor Games For Your Next Camping Trip

Those of us who have been grinding the whole week usually just want to laze around, drink a beer and bask in nature during a camping trip. But there are some who just can't seem to settle down - these people feel like they have to be doing something even when they're relaxing! They easily get bored and when this happens, they can stir up the chill, laid-back atmosphere of camp pretty quickly. 

If you're planning a camping trip with such people (and kids), you may want to get some of these great outdoor games below to keep them entertained while you kick back. These family games are inexpensive but provide good fun, you might even want to join in a game or two.

If you've ever wished for a game that's a cross between lawn darts and beer pong, then what you're looking for is Flarts. This dart game with a smelly sounding name is completely safe and fun for kids of all ages, although adults would also get a kick from a drunk version of it too!
Compliments Complaints
  • Good for kids and elderly people
  • Can be played by the whole family

Giant Jenga

Jenga is practically the go-to game whenever people are starting to get bored, so it's good to pack a set for your camping trip. But a small Jenga set won't do when playing outside, what you need is a giant one that won't topple over from a breeze or uneven ground.
Compliments Complaints
  • Classic Jenga but bigger
  • Made of natural wood, safe for kids
  • Fun for all ages
  • Some customers complained about quality of blocks
  • A bit expensive than competing brands
  • One customer's bag broke but was replaced
