If you have a backyard, why not use it for some fun? You can set up a campsite. Here’s an ultimate guide on how you can make your time in the backyard fun.

Set up a tent and sleeping bag

Give yourself the full camping experience. Have headlights and lanterns, set up a tent and sleeping bag in your backyard.

Light a bonfire/ fire pit

A warm fire is a camping classic. If your backyard doesn’t allow for a bonfire, consider a fire pit. This will give you the opportunity to roast marshmallows and hotdogs to share around the campfire. Remember to follow all fire safety precautions. Without fail, keep a hose pipe or fire extinguisher handy.

Tell spooky tales

There are many camping activities that translate to the backyard. Share spooky tales as you sit around the fire. You can ask your musically talented family member to lead a campfire sing-along.

As hard as this may be, try not to annoy your neighbours by making noise. Above all, have fun guys!
