1. National Park Cornhole Set
Cornhole is a staple for camping! My absolute favorite cornhole set is the handcrafted travel set by Elakai Outdoor.
And the best part? This cornhole set comes in National Park designs! There are beautiful designs of parks all over the USA – Arches, Zion, Yosemite, Glacier, Grand Canyon, Acadia, and so many more!
Bean bags are not included so make sure to buy some! These all-weather bean bags with mountains printed on them are my favorite.
This would be the perfect gift for that special camper in your life! Or a fun addition to your own camping games collection.
2. Giant Yardzee
Yardzee is fun for the whole family! This set comes with six giant wooden dice, reusable scorecards, a marker, a collapsible bucket, and a lid. There’s enough equipment in this set for 20+ different dice games, so you’ll never run out of games to play!
You can pick your size – this Yardzee set comes with 2.5-inch dice and 3.5-inch dice. And don’t worry – they’re waterproof! So rain or shine, you can play an entertaining game of outdoor Yahtzee.
3. Roll-Up Chess and Checkers
Pendleton designs some adorable outdoorsy blankets and towels, but did you know they also make a roll-up travel Chess and Checkers game?!
This Chess and Checkers game rolls up like a blanket and features a canvas board and a snap-on vegan leather pouch for storing pieces.
Simply unroll it to play a game of Chess or Checkers. Roll it back up to pack it away!
4. Uno Splash
Uno Splash is a waterproof version of the classic card game, Uno. This twist on the classic card game comes with a handy clip to keep the cards together – you can attach the deck to a backpack, a beach bag, or a piece of camping gear.
Play round after round with these waterproof Uno cards without worrying that the cards will get dirty or wet.
Play the game at your campsite, by the river, in the sand, or on the boat. The possibilities are endless!
5. Jumbo Jenga
We’ve all played standard-sized Jenga, but have you played Jumbo Jenga?!
If you set up Jumbo Jenga at your campsite, all your neighbors will be eyeing you and will probably want to join you.
This hardwood Jumbo Jenga tower comes in 3 feet, 4 feet, and 5 feet sizes, so all ages can play. Along with 54 crafted hardwood blocks, this set comes with a high-quality zippered bag.
6. Wooden Ring Toss
Play ring toss in style with this high-quality wooden set!
This ring toss set comes with a solid acacia hardwood target with four posts, 10 natural sisal rope rings, weather-resistant hardware, and a convenient travel carry bag.
7. Giant All-Weather Connect 4
Connect 4 is a classic game that’s always fun to play. But this isn’t just any Connect 4 set – it’s a giant version. Are you sensing a theme with these camping games?
What I love about this Connect 4 set is that while it’s giant (2 feet tall x 3 feet wide), it packs down nicely. So it’s very travel-friendly and easy to transport!
Also, this Connect 4 game is water and weather-resistant, so you can play rain or shine! And since it’s made of quality New Zealand poplar wood, you know it’ll last a very long time.
Every game plants a tree! Order yours now and plant a tree.

Horseshoes is a quintessential campsite game that’s perfect for all ages. I grew up playing horseshoes, and contrary to what kids might think, this game is still “in!”
This official size/weight horseshoe set comes with 2 blue horseshoes, 2 silver horseshoes, 2 solid steel stakes, and a carry bag for easy transport.
9. Giant Sorry Game
This isn’t any ordinary game of Sorry. This is a giant edition of Sorry that can be played outdoors!
This massive Sorry game comes with a 64-inch x 64-inch vinyl mat gameboard and oversized pawns. So spread this out on the lawn and get ready for a unique version of the classic board game!

11. National Park Playing Cards
Every camper needs a deck of cards! But what’s better than a regular deck of cards?! National Park cards!
This special set of playing cards comes with a wooden collector’s case plus unique National Park designs printed on each card.
Anytime my wife and I play with these National Park cards – whether we’re at home or at camp – we always reminisce about our past park adventures and talk about the parks that we want to visit.
Take a walk down memory lane and play dozens of card games with this National Park card game set! My favorite card games that can be played with a standard deck of cards are Golf and May I.
Other fun card games that don’t use a standard deck of cards but are fun to bring to camp are Skipbo, Phase 10, Cards Against Humanity (not kid-friendly), and Quiddler.
12. Volleyball/Badminton Travel Set
If you’re feeling competitive, it’s time to bring the volleyball court to your campsite with this travel set!
This volleyball and badminton set comes with a net, poles, racquets, birdies or shuttlecocks, a ball, and a carrying case.
Get ready for some friendly competition! Your neighbors may even want to join in on the fun.
13. Spoons
I grew up playing Spoons with real silver spoons, so imagine my surprise when I found out that there is an actual game set with its own set of colorful spoons! So don’t worry about using your own spoons and bringing extras – just get this convenient set instead.
This simple Spoons game case comes with 5 colorful spoons and a deck of playing cards.
If you haven’t played Spoons yet, you’re missing out! It’s wildly competitive.
