1. A fire pit: it’s easy to roast hot dogs, toast marshmallows, and even cook up meats and veggies in foil packets.If you don't have a fire pit. The grill is also a good choice

2. Pick a good spot in your backyard: clear away any debris, and level the ground if necessary. Before laying out the seating area, do a sweep for doggy do-do, anthills, prickles, or other irritants that might spoil the experience

3. Set up your tent:- make sure it's weatherproof and secure. Add soft toys or stuffed animals for the kids. Put a few flashlights, lanterns, or glow sticks in each tent as well.

4. Make a Rule to Stay Outside: Prepare in advance to ensure that the activity feels like real camping. Flashlights, headlights, sunscreens, books, snacks, cookers, or a cooler full of ice with a variety of drinks, etc., ensure that they are in your collapsible wagon, so you don't have to rush home every few minutes.

Tell all members that no one can go home except for special occasions such as bathroom breaks or showers. Electronic devices should be at home, too!

Stock up on food and drinks - you don't want to be hungry or thirsty in the middle of the night!

6. Turn on some music: If you want to add more fun to camping, be sure to bring a stereo or boombox. The concert will make your camping activity active. Everyone takes turns choosing the songs they like. You can even host a ball! Of course, we also need to consider the neighbors' feelings

7. Screen a movie: Get an extra white sheet as a film screen and play a cozy movie. I'm sure this movie will leave a deep impression on you! I think it's very meaningful.

8. Enjoy some time outdoors - Pitch a tent or set up a hammock make sure it's comfortable so you can enjoy your time outside. tell stories around the campfire. When camping, storytelling is a must. look at the stars, and don't forget the marshmallows!

9. Prepare some backyard games for kids: A big part of camping is arranging your kids. So please prepare some games for them before camping.

10. make memories: Although you are very familiar with the backyard, I believe that it will still be interesting to recall it after many years, so please take pictures~

Camping in your backyard can be just as fun as camping in the wilderness - and sometimes it's even more convenient. If you've had similar experiences, feel free to share them in the comments section below. In the meantime, happy camping!
