Sports, games and water activities for an active camping experience
A motorhome holiday isn’t just about travelling and stopping off; it’s also about enjoying your free time in the great outdoors. The sports, games and water category brings together everything you need to have fun at the campsite, by the sea, at the pool, by the lake or during a day out with children, friends and family.
From outdoor games to travel games, from beach accessories to SUPs, inflatable kayaks and dinghies, every product is designed to take up little space and be easily transported in a motorhome, caravan, van or car. The advantage is always having activities with you that are simple to organise, suitable for moments of relaxation, exercise or shared play.
Outdoor games for camping, the beach and green spaces
Active games are perfect when travelling with children or when you want to turn a camping stop into a more dynamic experience. A game of bocce, a football, a volleyball or a beach volleyball take up little space and allow you to play in a group without the need for complex equipment.
Beach rackets are also among the most practical accessories for summer holidays: lightweight, easy to use and suitable for both the sand and the campsite, they help to get adults and children involved in a spontaneous way. For those looking for outdoor team games, it’s best to choose durable products that are easy to carry and suitable for different surfaces, such as grass, sand or a campsite pitch.
Travel and educational games for the motorhome
During a campervan trip, the weather doesn’t always allow for outdoor activities. That’s why travel games and educational games are a smart choice: they help keep children entertained during stops, on long journeys or on evenings on the veranda.
Card games are among the most versatile options for campervan travellers: they’re lightweight, take up very little space and can be enjoyed by the whole family. Educational games, on the other hand, combine fun with learning, making even breaks or rainy days more enjoyable.
Beach accessories and water games for children and families
For those spending their holidays by the sea, at a lake or by the pool, beach accessories make the day more complete and enjoyable. A snorkelling mask with a snorkel, a swimming goggle, water pistols, a spade and a bucket are small items that make a big difference, especially when travelling with children.
The classic beach bucket remains essential for playing in the sand, whilst snorkels and goggles make it easy to explore shallow waters. Before use, it is always important to choose age-appropriate products, check the fit and ensure adult supervision, especially in the water.
Swimming pools, inflatable loungers and summer relaxation
Inflatable pools, outdoor paddling pools and inflatable liloes are ideal for adding comfort and a refreshing touch to the hottest days. Whether camping or in the garden, a small pool can provide a safe space for children to play, whilst a lilo is perfect for relaxing in the water or by the poolside.
When travelling by campervan, it is always worth considering the deflated size, ease of inflation, material durability and drying time. A lilo or inflatable pool should be practical to store, easy to clean and suitable for frequent use throughout the season.
SUPs, inflatable kayaks, dinghies and inflatable boats for exploring the water
Those who enjoy a sporty approach to camping can choose a SUP board, an inflatable kayak, a rowing boat or an inflatable dinghy. Inflatable versions are very popular with campervan enthusiasts because, once deflated, they are easier to transport than rigid models.
A two-person inflatable kayak is ideal for leisurely trips as a couple or with the family, whilst a SUP offers freedom of movement and a more sporty ride on calm waters. Inflatable dinghies and rowing boats, on the other hand, are useful for short recreational outings, always in accordance with local regulations and weather conditions.
How to choose sports, games and water equipment for camping
The choice depends first and foremost on the type of holiday. For a static camping trip with children, outdoor games, balls, water pistols, a bucket and spade are useful. For travelling by campervan, weight, volume and ease of use are the main considerations. For the seaside or lakeside, beach accessories, goggles, snorkels, liloes and inflatable equipment are essential.
Before buying, always consider the space available on board, the age of the users, the context of use and how easy they are to clean. The best items for motorhome travellers are those that combine durability, compactness and versatility, so they can be used in multiple situations without adding too much weight to the load.
Safety and practicality during water activities
Fun in the water requires caution. Goggles, snorkels, SUPs, kayaks, dinghies and inflatable boats must be used in suitable conditions, avoiding strong winds, currents and unfamiliar waters. For children and beginners, it is always advisable to provide suitable flotation devices and ensure the constant presence of an adult.
Checking valves, inflation, seams and accessories before use helps prevent problems during the day. After returning, it is a good idea to rinse items used in the sea with fresh water, let them dry thoroughly and store them away from direct heat sources.
