October 28, 2024
July is the ideal camping month! There is nothing like celebrating the summer by getting outside and embracing the beauty of the area's natural landscape. Spending the day out in nature with family and friends is an ideal way to make lifelong summer memories.
If you want to make your summer camping trip memorable, you might mix up your traditional camping to-dos and find a way to spice it up! Here are eight ways to enjoy your RV camping trip.
1. Cookout at the Campfire
Food makes camping fun! We can all think of fun camping foods we crave during the summer. Start off the day by enjoying a blueberry pancake breakfast. Capitalize on seasonal foods if you can, like watermelon and other summer fruits and veggies, but be sure to bring the classics like hot dogs, burgers, and s’mores over the campfire. If s’mores aren’t your thing, you can pull out the Dutch oven and create a colorful cobbler.
2. Be Creative with Patriotic Crafts
Commemorate the trip with a fun family craft. You might bring some supplies for making summer-themed decorations and accessories like friendship bracelets, flags, or lanterns. This activity is sure to make the day and your campsite feel more festive.
3. Enjoy a Scavenger Hunt
Everyone loves a good scavenger hunt! Create a fun scavenger hunt for your July camping trip. You could include specific types of trees and plants, local animals, and even different bodies of water like rivers or springs. Don’t forget to include a prize for the first person to find all the items!
4. Play Outdoor Games
Outdoor games are a must for a good summer camping trip. You might include outdoor games like cornhole, horseshoes, or frisbee. You can even bring classic indoor games outside and see who’s the luckiest at Uno or Go Fish.
5. Create a Curated Playlist
If you’re planning a trip through Yellowstone, staying at the campsite all day, or hiking in Island Park, you might create a special playlist that everyone will enjoy. Music always sets the tone for a successful outing. You could make it collaborative, allowing everyone to add a few songs they'd like to hear during the trip.
6. Decorate the Campsite
Make the stay fun by adding seasonal decorations to your campsite. Don’t forget to include tablecloths and lights. Adding these small things can make your RV feel completely different, making trip even more special.
7. Enjoy an Outdoor Movie Night
Bring a projector and watch movies under the stars. Whether you’re looking for something more light-hearted or a movie that is more serious, there are a lot of summer-themed movie options. You might even hold a family vote on which film might be the most fun for everyone to watch together.
8. Participate in Local Community Events
There is a lot to do in the area around Yellowstone RV Park and Campground. Take a look at Island Park, or head over to West Yellowstone and see all the things that the park has to offer.
