Camping itself is one of the most enjoyable activities to engage in. But for most people, they want more than just sitting in their tent staring at lake view or a roaring fire. Maybe try new outdoor activities, that they don’t get the chance to do back home. That is why, we will be talking about camping activities that can make your camp time way more enjoyable and less boring.
What are the best Camping activities?
Wood Carving
Turning a chunk of dead wood into a piece of art can be one the most satisfying things in life. You will definitely get consumed and you wouldn’t know how time flies by. That is why, if you want to spend some quality time in camp doing something fun and fulfilling wood carving is your go to activity. If you are new to wood carving and want some tips to help you improve as a beginner, we have got you covered.

Building Projects
Building projects in the Outdoors is not as intimidating as some people might think. It is an opportunity to fully immerse yourself in making new stuff and learning new techniques. You can build some simple basic shelters using resources around you. You can even build a firepit, a brick oven or maybe a simple pot hanger. It all depends on your knowledge and skills.
Fishing
If you enjoy the Outdoors and you are still intimidated by fishing, we suggest you take that leap of faith and dive into the fishing world. Fishing might be the king of Camping activities. Some people spend hours with their rods in their canoes or by lake shore, and they just can’t get enough. You simply can’t beat the thrill of every cast and the excitement of every catch. The epic short battles with big stubborn fish and that feeling of fulfillment when you finally win the battle. we know it sounds too poetic but you will understand it when you get into fishing.
Foraging for wild edibles
Some people are always on the hunt for new experiences and savors. If you are one of those people, we suggest foraging for wild edibles. You can try new things and different wild foods that you simply cannot find at grocery stores such as wild mushrooms, chaga and herbal teas. If you ever feel sick of the same old camp food and you want to try new things, foraging can be a fun activity for you. We recommend doing some prior research because not every wild plant can be edible, some can be dangerous and even lethal.
We suggest checking “The Forager’s Guide to Wild Foods”.

Photographing Nature
While spending time in the Outdoors, one can only be fascinated by its beauty. You shouldn’t be a professional photographer to be able to take epic Photos. You can wander around the forest or the woods and take decent photos to memorize your experience and show them to your close friends, family members or maybe impress a potential crush.
Hiking
Hiking can be one of the most enjoyable outdoor activities. If you don’t feel like spending most of your time in camp, hiking is probably what you seek. It is a great workout. You can stretch your legs and maybe warm yourself up if it’s a cold day. Also, it an opportunity to wander around and further explore camp grounds.
Canoeing
Similar to fishing, most people are afraid of diving into canoeing and kayaking. If you are not canoeing yet, you are missing on a lot. It can be very fun and enjoyable. Canoeing and kayaking can improve your fitness, strength and flexibility. Also, it can be meditative, where you can just paddle at your own pace and enjoy the peace and solitude around you. You can do this activity in groups or by yourself it all depends on your preferences.
Collecting firewood
Collecting firewood is a casual camping task. But that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be fun. We all know the famous saying “Firewood makes you warm three times” but in your case it should entertain you three times. I don’t know about other people but I personally enjoy hunting for good fire wood. The fact that you’re exploring and hunting for good wood and the thrill of finding some decent pieces. The joy of bringing back your spoils back to camp. And finally, taking your time to chop, organize and then enjoy the sight of that pack of wood and knowing you’ve got yourself covered tonight no matter how cold it will get. Tell me that is not FUN!
