Your backyard is a perfect place for a fun family RV adventure! While it may not be your typical camping destination, it offers a special and unique experience. Read on to learn how you can pull off the perfect backyard RV vacation!
Why Go Camping in Your Backyard?
There are plenty of reasons to set up your camper in your backyard for a fun experience. Some benefits of backyard camping include:
- Spending less money than you would on a traditional vacation
- Giving young children a low-stakes way to explore traveling by camper
- Enjoy a vacation safely without having to risk Covid-19 exposure
- Enjoy a simple trip with easier packing, no travel time, and more
Packing for Your Backyard Trip
Everything you need for a successful trip may be inside your house, but staying in your rig overnight will be more fun if you limit how many trips you take inside. Try your best to treat this experience as if it’s a normal RV trip. Gather up all of your supplies inside of your rig so you can be fully immersed in the outdoor experience!
Pack items including:
- Enough food for meals and snacks
- Sealed containers for food to avoid attracting pests
- Normal plates and utensils instead of plastic
- Candles or flashlights
- Bug repellent
- Layers of clothing in case of temperature changes
- Board games, books, and other items for fun
Embrace the Outdoors
Just because your backyard is within your home’s Wi-Fi signal doesn’t mean you should be on your phone the whole time. We suggest focusing on reconnecting with nature and your family! Just because you aren’t in the depths of the woods doesn’t mean you don’t have access to the great outdoors.
There are plenty of outdoor activities to do while RV camping in your backyard including:
- Collecting nature samples for art projects, like pressing flowers or creating rubbings with crayons
- Playing board games
- Playing guitar or other instruments
- Hiking to a nearby park
- Having a scavenger hunt
There are even some nighttime activities you can do such as:
- Stargazing and finding constellations
- Using flashlights to make shadow puppets on the walls of your camper
- Hiding items and searching for them using your flashlight.
