Glamping is a fun way to enjoy the great outdoors with all the comforts of home. And while it may seem like a luxury reserved for adults, kids enjoy the glamping experience too! In fact, setting up a glamping experience in your backyard can be a great way to introduce kids to camping and nature in a safe and comfortable environment.
The team here at City Lights Glamping came up with the following top ten tips for backyard glamping with kids!
Find the Perfect Tent: What’s glamping without a great tent? Choose something that’s spacious, comfortable, and, sure, a bit luxurious! Here at City Lights Glamping, we use AMAZING bell tents that are perfect for a glamping sleepover!
Use Comfortable Bedding: Make sure your kids have comfortable bedding to sleep on. At City Lights Glamping, we use crisp sheets, cozy comforters, and luxurious pillows.
Create a Campfire Area: City Lights Glamping offers fire pits so you can create a crackling fire at your glampsite. Even if you can’t have a real campfire, you can still create a fun campfire area with LED lights and logs. Use this as an opportunity to teach the little ones about fire safety!
Have a Movie Night: Set up a projector and screen outside for a fun movie night under the stars. Don’t forget the popcorn and snacks!
Cook Gourmet Camp Food: Prepare campfire favorites like hot dogs and s’mores, or get creative with gourmet campfire meals like grilled pizzas and kebabs.
Make Nature Crafts: Provide your kids with materials to make nature crafts like leaf rubbings, rock painting, and birdhouse building. Encourage them to explore the natural world around them.
Have a Scavenger Hunt: Create a scavenger hunt around your backyard with clues and challenges that will keep your kids entertained and engaged.
Stargaze: Lay out a blanket and spend some time stargazing with your kids. Use a stargazing app to identify constellations and planets. City Lights Glamping even has a few tents that feature skylights, so you can stargaze from the comfort of your bed! Interested in one of our skylight tents? Just let us know!
Play Backyard Games: Set up a fun obstacle course or play backyard games like frisbee, catch, and soccer.
Have a Sleepover: Invite your kids’ friends over for a backyard glamping sleepover. Set up multiple tents and provide snacks and activities for a fun night under the stars.
