Gift Ideas for Backyard Camping Adventures

November 23, 2017 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

I long to spend the night in a tent a few times a year but packing up the van and heading to a campground is tricky with four kids and two dogs. I have opted for backyard camping adventures with whomever may want to enjoy an evening in a tent with mom.

Our current tent will not house our entire family or the dogs but is fine for an adult and two kids. I have always heard that you should buy a bigger tent then you need so you have room for gear. I am also considering two tents that house 4 people which should give us ample room for ourselves and our gear. Another bonus of owning smaller tents is indoor camping during the Winter! I keep in mind the tent size and if it will fit in our living room with minimal furniture arranging! If we had a large den or basement I would keep those spaces in mind for sleepovers and birthday parties.

We are also looking into new sleeping bags and air mattresses depending on what size tent we buy. I have been looking at tents that will house a queen size mattress which means queen size bedding. I highly recommend an air mattress over a sleeping pad for more comfortably sleeping. Each child brings out their own pillow, blanket and a snuggle toy or ten!

Backyard Camping Tips and Tricks

June 20, 2017 By Thaleia 10 Comments

I love the outdoors and nature. I jokingly tell my family I’m going to pitch a tent out back and live there a few days a week! I am currently working on making a platform to pitch our 4 person tent on for backyard camping. This will allow for an even surface for the tent as well as off the ground in case of rain. If you have been putting off taking your children camping then you should consider starting with backyard camping!

Backyard Camping Ideas and We Love Weekends

June 19, 2015 By Thaleia

My 5 year old has been begging to camp outdoors since a few weeks before his birthday in April. Since the weather was very cold then I promised him that once the weather got warmer we’d camp out. Well, now the weather has been in the mid 90’s during the day and only cooling down to mid 70’s at night-ACK! I am watching the weather like a hawk for a good night the little boys and I can camp out back.

Why Backyard Camping is a Good Idea

June 27, 2014 By Thaleia 2 Comments

This weekend is the Great American Backyard Campout, but with the heat and humidity we may not actually do any backyard camping. If we are actually home we will put up a tent for play or bring it inside for a great humidity-free camping adventure. We did put up two different tents in our backyard but only for a day or two so we didn’t kill the grass. I actually moved the smaller play tent around everyday so the grass underneath wouldn’t be flattened and die.

Backyard Camping Our Simple Vacation Alternative

Backyard Camping:

Our Simple Vacation Alternative

backyard campout

My husband and I did NOT grow up camping like some people. We also rarely went on family vacations. I did not want that to be the case with my children. We cannot afford to go on vacations away with our current budget, so we bought a tent last Summer to camp in the backyard. The big kids stayed out but the entire family has not.
