Lonely Planet Kids Create Your Own Camping Activities

Lonely Planet Kids Create Your Own Camping Activities by Laura Baker is a brilliantly practical kids’ activity book for families who love getting outdoors and making their own fun on a camping trip. Packed with more than 80 ideas, it’s designed to slip into the backpack and come out whenever boredom threatens—on the drive, in the tent, at the picnic table or beside the campfire.

Inside you’ll find easy, step-by-step camping games, nature crafts and outdoor exploration prompts that use what’s already around you (plus simple basics like paper and glue). Expect treasure hunts, obstacle courses and rainy-day backups, alongside nature journalling, scavenger hunts, stargazing and beginner-friendly “survival skills” like map reading and shelter building—always with a sensible, supervised approach.

Perfect for primary school kids, holiday weekends, and parents after screen-free activities that actually work in the wild.

Add it to your camping gear and let the next adventure write itself.
