Outdoor games for camping, the beach and leisure time
Outdoor games are among the simplest and most useful items to take on holiday. All you need is a lawn, a free pitch, a stretch of beach or a campsite play area to turn a stopover into a chance for exercise, socialising and fun.
This category brings together games designed for those travelling in motorhomes, caravans or vans who are looking for practical, lightweight and easy-to-share activities. From bocce to balls, from beach rackets to team games, every product helps you spend more time outdoors without taking up too much space on board.
Active games for the whole family
During an outdoor holiday, active games are perfect for getting children, teenagers and adults involved. An impromptu game with a ball, a game of precision bocce or a beach racket challenge allows you to alternate between relaxation and physical activity in a natural way.
The advantage is versatility. Many games can be played at a campsite, in the garden, at the park or on the sand, adapting to the space available. For campervan travellers, this is an important consideration, as it allows you to choose just a few items that can be used in many different situations.
Bocce, balls and classic camping games
Bocce is a great classic of outdoor leisure. It is ideal for laid-back games, requires no complex equipment and lends itself well to friendly intergenerational matches. When camping, it works best on compact ground, spacious pitches or designated play areas.
Balls offer even more possibilities. A volleyball can be used for group games, beach volleyball or simply passing the ball on the beach. Anyone looking for a beach volleyball should consider lightness, grip and durability, especially if the game is played on sand or hot surfaces.
Beach rackets and quick-to-organise games
Beach rackets are ideal for those who want a game that’s quick to start, lightweight and easy to carry. No complicated set-up is required, and they can be used in pairs or small groups, both at the seaside and when camping, provided there is enough space.
When choosing beach rackets or similar sets, check the handle material, weight and durability of the playing surface. A good set should be comfortable to use, sturdy enough for frequent use and easy to store in a storage compartment, boot or beach bag.
Outdoor team games
Outdoor team games are perfect for campsites, holiday villages, campervan gatherings and multi-family holidays. Volleyball, ball games, throwing challenges and accuracy games help create mini-tournaments and shared moments without the need for much preparation.
To choose the right product, consider the number of participants, the players’ ages and the space available. The best games for groups are those with simple rules, durable materials and the option to adjust the difficulty level to suit the participants.
How to choose outdoor games for your campervan
Campervan travellers need to consider weight, bulk and ease of cleaning. An outdoor game should fit easily into storage spaces, be ready to use in a few minutes and withstand sand, grass, dust and minor knocks.
For children, lightweight balls, soft toys and simple games are recommended. For teenagers and adults, you can choose beach rackets, boules, team games and more dynamic activities. If your trip involves many stops, it’s best to opt for compact and versatile products, suitable for both the beach and the campsite.
Why take active games on holiday
Active games encourage physical activity, coordination and shared time. They are a great alternative to screens and help children burn off energy after a long journey or a day of travelling.
For adults, they offer a simple way to relax, socialise with fellow campers and make free time more enjoyable. With a few well-chosen accessories, any outdoor area can become a safe, fun play space suitable for the whole family.
