Author: Joann Cheong
Each year, millions of Americans head out to their local campgrounds. Camping in the great outdoors is any camper is dream; however, not everyone is able to camp at a campground or state park. If you find it difficult or impossible to go camping, you may want to consider backyard camping. You may very well find that it is the perfect backyard activity, especially in the evening.
Although camping in your backyard may not seem glamorous, it can
be a fun and exciting adventure. In fact, it is an adventure
that thousands of families enjoy each year. Backyard camping is
popular for a wide variety of different reasons. One of those
reasons includes the ease of camping. If you are an avid camper,
it is likely that you may know alto well how hard to can be to
make it to your campsite. Not only do you have to worry about
getting yourself to the campsite, but all of your supplies as
well. And, imagine if you forgot anything! In most cases,
backyard camping cuts down on the hassle of most camping trips.
Backyard camping is also popular because it allows campers to
camp is a safe area. Unfortunately most campers, while camping
on public grounds, are unfamiliar with their surroundings. Not
only may they be unfamiliar with the land, but they may also be
unfamiliar with other campers. Unfortunately, in today is
society it is just too much of a risk for some individuals. If
physical safety is a concern of yours, that concern can almost
completely be eliminated with backyard camping. Not only will
you know the area, but you also know who or what should be in
your neighborhood.
As previously mentioned, backyard campouts are popular among
those with children, especially young children. When it comes to
camping, there are many children who are not at the right age to
go. Whether it is due to unfamiliar territory, uncomfortable
sleeping spaces, or being away from what they know, there are
many children that are unable to handle a camping trip. However,
as a parent, that does not mean that you should not be able to
enjoy camping. With backyard camping, everything should workout
for everybody. Not only will be camping in the outdoors, but you
will also be near your home, in case you need anything for your
children.
While backyard campouts are ideal for those with small children,
campouts are also fun for everyone else. Many individuals,
including adults without children, enjoy backyard camping
because it is convenient, safe, and free. Most public
campgrounds, in the United States, charge a fee for campers.
While this fee will vary from location to location, it can get
quite expensive. That is why backyard camping is so popular in
the United States.
If you are interested in having a backyard campout, you will
have to decide which supplies you will need. Depending on your
preference, you may be able to sleep in a tent or underneath the
stars. In addition to sleeping equipment, you may want to think
about backyard toys, food, drinks, and snacks.
By preparing for your backyard campout, you should have
everything that you need. Proper planning will also prevent you
from having to go inside your home. Avoiding your home as much
as possible, even though you are in the backyard, is a great way
to make the most out of your backyard camping adventure.

When I was in high school, my best friend and I camped out in her backyard. It was so much fun, and the added security of having the house was nice. If we needed the bathroom, we ran inside. If we forgot our pillows (which we did), we went inside to fetch them.
We mixed up a bowl of cookie dough and were up half the night telling scary stories! It was a blast, and didn't cost a cent. It's definitely a great way to get out and have fun if you're sick of being couped up indoors.

Oh yes, I know it was so fun to put a tent up in the back yard. There was never much thought put in to what would be needed for supplies because the house being so close you could run in and grab what ever you wanted
The main things I would suggest. Plenty of flashlights, blankets and maybe a camera and a tape recorder so you can record parts of your story telling and then listen to it later on in the years.
