10 tips for entertainment while glamping

Here are 10 ideas for entertainment that work in both sun and rain.

1. Cook over a campfire

Campfire cooking as an activity

Cooking over a campfire is both a fun activity and a way to gather the whole family around dinner. You can make twist bread, grill vegetables and sausages, or even experiment with popcorn in a pot. Children love to participate, and it creates great memories.

Plan small tasks for the children, like stirring the pot or shaping the twist bread, so everyone feels included. It turns cooking into an experience, not just a meal.

2. Nature treasure hunt

Discover nature in a playful way

Create a treasure hunt with small clues in the area. It can be hidden treasures like stones, leaves, animal tracks or small figures you place yourself. The treasure hunt gives children motivation to explore nature.

You can also make a list of things they need to find within a certain time, and reward them with a small prize. It creates both fun and learning at the same time.

3. Board games and card games

Rainy days become fun

Bring classic games like Uno, Monopoly, Ludo or regular cards. They're perfect for rainy days when outdoor activities aren't possible.

Board games and card games create cosy moments where both children and adults can compete, laugh and relax together. Set aside time for tournaments for extra fun.

4. Evening cosiness with torches

Nature experiences after dark

Bring torches and go exploring in the dark. Listen for animals, look at stars or simply enjoy the silence. It's a simple but magical experience.

This activity is simple but always creates excitement for both children and adults.

5. Nature bingo

Get to know nature through play

Make a list of things to find: pine cone, feather, yellow flower, animal tracks or a special stone. The first to find everything wins.

It can be done as a daily activity, so children stay active and engaged throughout the stay.

6. Morning yoga or stretching

Start the day calmly and refreshed

A short yoga session or stretching exercises outside the tent gives peace and energy for the rest of the day.

Even 5–10 minutes can make a big difference, and it's a lovely way to create a shared morning ritual.

7. Creative nature art

Use natural materials for play

Use branches, leaves, stones and flowers to make small figures, towers or nature collages.

The activity is free, stimulates imagination and can be done both as an individual or group activity.

8. Hiking or cycling trip

Explore the local area

Many glamping sites are close to forest, lake, beach or national trails. Plan a short or long trip depending on the group's energy level.

Besides exercise, it also provides an opportunity to discover local flora and fauna, and children can learn about nature along the way.

9. Glamping challenge

Small competitions with fun

Create small challenges like: who can make the best twist bread, build the tallest stone tower, or find the most unusual leaf.

The competitions create laughter and memories, strengthen cooperation and make the day fun for everyone.

10. Digital detox evening

Switch off your phone and be present

Put phones and tablets away, light candles or fairy lights and talk together. Glamping is the perfect setting for being present.

Spend time on conversations, games or nature. This is often where the best memories are created.
