Hi there!
My last post about my favorite camping spots received a lot of positive feedback, and I saw many great comments about my tips. I’m really grateful for your support! Recently, I started thinking about what other interesting camping-related topics I could share since I have quite a bit of experience. So, I decided to take my friends’ advice and write about the best entertainment options for long camping trips—especially if you find yourself without stable internet or TV. My friends and I have had this experience, and I hope you’ll find these ideas useful too!
When I go camping, I always bring board games to have a fun time with friends or family. Personally, I love playing my favorites, such as Carcassonne, Catan, and Ticket to Ride: Canada Edition, which are perfect for a relaxed strategic game. If I’m in the mood for something quicker and simpler, Uno, Exploding Kittens, or classic poker are always great options.
When we sit around the campfire, I often suggest playing Euchre or Cribbage, which are popular among travelers in Canada. If there isn’t much space in my backpack, compact versions of chess, checkers, or Jenga Mini come in handy. Card games are a lifesaver on long trips because a single deck allows for dozens of different games, from Rummy to fast-paced reaction-based ones.
While traveling, I enjoy listening to audiobooks and podcasts, which make long hours on the road or relaxing at the campsite much more enjoyable. I pick audiobooks depending on my mood. If I want something light and exciting, I go for adventure novels or science fiction. Recently, I really enjoyed Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir - it keeps you hooked from start to finish. If I’m in a more relaxed mood, I choose something atmospheric, like Agatha Christie’s detective stories or classic historical novels.
When I want to learn something new or just listen to something interesting, I turn to podcasts covering topics from science to travel. One of my favorites is The Knowledge Project, which features conversations with well-known figures about critical thinking and decision-making. When I want something lighter, I go for Stuff You Should Know, which explains fun facts about things I never even thought about before. If I’m in an adventurous mood, I enjoy Expedition Unknown, where they discuss lost civilizations and historical mysteries.
When we’re all sitting around the fire, I sometimes play mystery podcasts to create a special atmosphere. One of the best for this is Lore, which shares stories about ancient legends and mysterious events. If we’re in the mood for something really scary, I go for Scared to Death it’s perfect for a spooky camping night.
For more interactive fun, my friends and I often play mobile games that work well for groups. One of our favorites is Alias, where you have to explain words to your team while adding funny restrictions to make the game even more entertaining. It’s a great way to boost the mood after a long day on the road.
When we want a bit of competition, we go for Heads Up!, where one player holds the phone with a random word on the screen while others help them guess it through hints or gestures. Another game we love is Psych!, where you have to come up with convincing fake answers to questions and try to fool the other players.
For a more relaxed vibe, we sometimes play online games that don’t require downloads. My friends and I enjoy playing online slots, such as free slots with no downloads on this site, which run directly in the browser. It’s a fun way to add a bit of excitement without real-money bets.
For a classic camping evening, I suggest singing songs around the campfire. We always bring a guitar and sing songs that everyone knows from Take Me Home, Country Roads to Canadian classics like The Log Driver’s Waltz or Northwest Passage. If we don’t have musical instruments, we use a phone to play backing tracks or just sing a cappella.
To create a mysterious atmosphere, we tell scary stories. The best moments come when someone makes up a story on the spot, adding unexpected twists. If we want something ready-made, we listen to stories like The Black Car or ghost legends from old highways.
For group fun, we try the Story Chain game, where each person adds one sentence to a story until it turns into something funny or spooky. Another favorite is Mafia, which is perfect for large groups and long evenings in a trailer or around the fire.
