Elevate Your Family Camping Game With These Tips

Create Unforgettable Memories While Camping with Kids in a Caravan or Motorhome

Make the most of your camping trip with the children by trying out these fantastic activities together:


  • Nature Walks: Explore New Zealand's stunning natural landscapes by taking short nature walks or easy hikes with your kids. Look for kid-friendly trails and enjoy the flora and fauna.

  • Beach Fun: If you're camping near the coast, kids can have a blast building sandcastles, swimming, and searching for seashells.

  • Camp Stories: Gather around the campfire or cards table in the evening and share fun and spooky camp stories. Don't forget to bring marshmallows for roasting!

  • Star Gazing: New Zealand offers some of the best stargazing opportunities in the world. Spend a night identifying constellations and teaching your kids about the night sky.

  • Fishing: If you're near a beach, lake or river, fishing can be a great family activity. Teach your kids how to fish and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Make sure you are familiar with the local fishing rules.

  • Outdoor Cooking: Involve your kids in preparing meals. They can help with tasks around the BBQ, assembling kebabs, or making their own s'mores.

  • Scavenger Hunts: Create nature scavenger hunts where kids can search for specific plants, animals, or objects. It's both educational and fun.

  • Geocaching: Go on a treasure hunt using GPS devices or smartphone apps to find hidden geocaches in the area.

  • Biking: Bring along bikes, helmets and explore the campsite or nearby trails. Many campgrounds have bike-friendly paths.

  • Nature Crafts: Collect leaves, rocks, and other natural materials, and then have a crafting session in the caravan. Make leaf rubbings, rock paintings, or nature collages.

  • Board Games: Bring along board games and card games for rainy days or quiet evenings. Family game nights can be loads of fun.

  • Bird Watching: Encourage kids to observe and identify birds that visit the campground. It's an excellent opportunity for them to learn about local wildlife.

  • Swimming: If there's a beach, lake or pool nearby, enjoy some swimming with the kids. Don't forget to pack water and sand toys, check the conditions and actively monitor children near water - better yet, jump in with them!

  • Photography: Give your kids a child-friendly camera and encourage them to capture their camping experiences. It's a creative way to keep them engaged.

  • Educational Activities: Visit local museums, historical sites, or cultural attractions to make the trip both entertaining and educational.

These activities will ensure that your camping adventure in a caravan or motorhome with kids is filled with fun and excitement, while also fostering a deeper connection with the great outdoors.
