The Ultimate Backyard Camping Guide for Summer

No reservation at the local campground this weekend? Your backyard will do, and here’s how to make it happen.

There’s nothing quite like a night under the stars, but busy schedules can make planning a camping getaway to one of the best campgrounds impossible. Many families yearning for the great outdoors are scratching the itch by setting up campsites right in their own backyard—and they’re having a blast.

Planning a backyard camping trip might seem like a big undertaking, but this guide will help. Keep reading to learn more about the essential backyard activities, camping gear, and need-to-know info for undertaking one of the most fun things you can do in your own backyard.

Benefits of Camping in the Backyard

Most folks like roughing it for a few days each year, but there are serious benefits to vacationing in the backyard. Folks who like breathing in fresh air but would prefer to park their derriere on their own (indoor) toilet, rejoice.

Also, families with young children can benefit from setting up a campsite with a fall-back plan. If the baby’s not comfortable in the tent overnight, there’s no reason to lose sleep: Just head inside and try again another night.

Not to say that emergencies can’t happen, but they’re much easier to handle in a backyard than they are on a campground in the middle of the woods. This can help children and adults who get anxious by the cord-cutting experience some of the excitement without any of the drama.
