Why Take Your Family Camping

Looking for something to do with your family this summer? Here are the top reasons why you should enjoy some family camping with the kids this year!

Family Camping to Escape Your Hectic Everyday Life

You dream of getting away and taking that big family vacation, but there never seems to be a perfect way to get away from it all. The idea of dealing with other tourists, planes, planning and booking hotels, rental cars, and your itinerary can be it's own kind of stress.

A simple outdoor vacation helps you cut the cord from everyday life and get back to basics. It has and always will be one of the best ways to get away from the hectic day-to-day of life.

Slow Down More and Look at the World

It's easy to get caught up in things that don't really matter. We're so tied to television, gaming, parties, deadlines, and other commitments that we can sometimes lose sight of the things that really matter. Our family, ourselves, and the world around us.

Camping and outdoor vacations with your family let you reconnect with nature. An experience when you run on your own clock, have the time to appreciate the world around you, and take the opportunity to look up once in a while to appreciate just how big the world really is and how beautiful it all can be.

Spending Quality Family Time

Outdoor vacations and family camping can bring you closer to the ones you love, taking part in activities and spending quality time together. There aren't a lot of opportunities amid hectic daily schedules to do that. Quality time is hard to get nowadays and getting away to the great outdoors is a great way to make time for it.

An Affordable Vacation Option

Camping is one of the most affordable outdoor vacations you can take with your family. Hotels with amenities that are comparable with our resorts cost an arm and a leg. You can spend almost an entire week at some of our resorts for the price of two nights in a fancy hotel - and you'll have more fun. See our special offers to help make it even MORE affordable. 

Trying New Recipes

The best part about new foods over the campfire or camp stove is that is tastes better! Vacationing in the outdoors tends encourage us to buy more natural and healthy ingredients to create dishes that taste great and give you more energy. And there's no need to have a huge spice cabinet to season your food -  you taste how things were truly meant to be enjoyed. You also get to eat and cook messy, which is always fun!

Teaches New Skills

Vacationing in the great outdoors is a great opportunity for you and your family to learn new things like tying knots, fishing, building a campfire, filtering water, and tracking animals. As a species, humans are designed with a desire to learn, so we can discover new skills that can help us interact and overcome nature.

Provides a Pet-Friendly Vacation

There are still a lot of restrictions for family vacations when it comes to bringing your pet along. Outdoor camping getaways are a great way to bring them along for the adventure, so they can interact with all that new nature around you.

You also don't have to pay extra for a sitter to check on the pets at home and keep them fed. Just bring them with you!

Experience Upscale Glamping

Worried about getting mauled by a bear in the wilderness or getting lost? You don't have to travel to the wilderness for a great outdoor vacation.

Our outdoor RV resorts are located North America and offer a ton of amenities along with security (and hot showers!). You get to enjoy all the comforts of  home while experiencing getting away in the great outdoors.

No Tent or RV?

You can still enjoy camping without all the equipment. Sun Outdoors offers vacation rentals, cottages, cabins that can accommodate your whole family. Like a hotel but outdoors! Most are fully furnished but private bathroom and full kitchens to make your stay as easy and enjoyable as possible
