A camping trip is an excellent way to take a much-needed break from modern technology and enjoy nature with loved ones. It can be a time to reflect and recharge the batteries of your life. However, there’s more to the campground than roasting marshmallows and relaxing. Here are four ways to entertain people of all ages in the great outdoors.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Camping Trip

1. Hiking

Many campgrounds are near trails that meander through beautiful forests, up mountain passes, and past lakes. Take advantage of this opportunity to get some heart-healthy exercise and enjoy the scenery by going for a hike. Check the on-site or online trail map for a route that goes in a loop and ends back at the campground—or hike as far as you want and return the same way you came.

2. Zip Lining

Zip lining is an adrenaline-inducing activity that requires strapping into a harness and stepping off a platform. A sturdy cable will hold your weight as you fly along on a pulley system above the ground.

Zip lines offer a great way to enjoy the scenery from above. Many campgrounds that feature these unique amenities have age and size requirements to promote safety, so ask about these details before you go.

3. Disc Golf

Disc golf is like traditional golf, but you throw frisbees at targets instead of using a club to hit a ball into a hole. Play a full game throwing from one target to another and racking up birdies and bogeys. Bring your own frisbee so you can practice your aim with your dogs, friends, and family away from the course.

4. Cooking

There’s something special about eating food cooked outside. Check the local fire warning levels through the campground to learn if you can have a bonfire or use a camp stove. If it’s safe to have a fire, bring ingredients like raw veggies for a stir-fry and eggs and bacon for breakfast. Don’t forget coffee and tea for the mornings or if you get a little chilly.

Those who like prepping food outside can make every meal from scratch while enjoying the fresh air. People who would rather eat and get to other activities may appreciate packing leftovers in tin foil to reheat over the fire.
