🌟 Why Backyard Camping Is the New Summer Vacation

Skip the packing, the bugs, and the long drives—your backyard is the perfect campground. Whether you're planning a whimsical evening for your kids or a cozy glamping night for adults, a little intention goes a long way.

With the right structures, lighting, and accessories, you can turn your yard into a magical retreat.

🔨 Set the Stage with the Right Structure

Instead of tents, think elevated comfort.

🛖 Playhouses for the Kids

Use a playhouse as the “cabin”—fill it with sleeping bags, flashlights, books, and snacks
2MamaBees and other wood-crafted models make it feel more like a treehouse adventure

🪵 Pergolas or Gazebos for Adults

Drape mosquito netting or light curtains for a luxe feel
Add a hanging chair, portable fireplace, or projector screen for a grown-up oasis

🔥 Build a Mini Campfire Zone

No firepit? No problem.

Use a propane fire bowl or tabletop fire feature for safety
Roast marshmallows, tell stories, or set out a “s’mores charcuterie board”
Add outdoor lanterns and solar string lights for a magical glow

🍳 Outdoor Cooking Made Simple

Use a portable grill or set up a camp kitchen under a pergola
Try foil packet meals with veggies and protein for easy cleanup
Don’t forget camp mugs and thermoses for morning coffee or cocoa

🎒 Activities to Keep the Vibe Alive
