Couples Camping
So I have to admit, my awesome husband actually came up with this romantic camping date idea. Then I “cute-ified” it with my own romantic camping ideas, but it was his couple camping plan to begin with! He’s always loved the outdoors and camping, but with a little one at home, it’s tricky to take an overnight getaway. This is the perfect way to escape—backyard camping! Or if you don’t have a yard, set up a tent in your living room! So let’s get to our best backyard camping ideas! First, get your sweetheart excited about your couple’s camp date night coming up with this fun camping date invite! So is it not the cutest thing that the tent doors open?!
Also, if paper invites aren’t your thing, send a text with this fun little video! (This is SO up my alley! Saves ink and is super quick and easy). Download this file at the end of the post!

Here we are setting up the tent, this part alone was so much fun! The weather was so nice and pleasant, it just felt great to be outside! Make sure you grab lots of pillows, sleeping bags (maybe an air mattress) so you are nice and comfy inside.
Once you have your tent set up, here are some fun ideas of things to do for this romantic camping date:
Tin Foil Dinners – Grab some grub and cook it over a fire or grill! Check out some fun recipes here to start planning out your own backyard camping date.

Camping Cinema – If you aren’t in the mood to totally disconnect from electronics, you can watch a movie or show on your laptop or tablet! Campfire Stories – Use our printable campfire spinner to tell stories together (see below). Certainly, one of the best romantic camping ideas you can get is snuggling up by the campfire reminiscing on your own love story.

Backyard Camping Activities
Whether or not you have an actual campfire, campfire stories are an essential part of a campout. So after you set up your couples camp, use this little campout spinner (with a flashlight or a bottle of bug spray – get creative!) to spin and tell a story based on the prompt. You might learn something new about each other! This is just one of our romantic camping ideas that will make your night unforgettable.
A key essential on a camping date night is S’MORES! My husband and I like to make them on our gas stove sometimes, but if you have a backyard fire pit, that’s much more romantic and legit. You can even bake s’mores in the oven if you’re doing an indoor campout!
We made up a fun little game of “earning” each element of your s’more. Draw a card and perform the romantic task before you receive your ingredients!
Intimate Couples Camping Ideas
You can’t have a campout without getting it on in the tent, right? Play a couple of sexy flashlight games together! WARNING: Make sure you are inside or have LOTS of privacy in your backyard before attempting some of these! We don’t want to give the neighbors that kind of show! So let’s turn up the heat on your backyard camping date!
This was such a fun way to get out of the house and get a little taste of camping, without going too far. And there was a clean bathroom just a few steps away – WIN-WIN! Cuddling up in the tent gave us a chance to connect without distractions. Setting up your own backyard camping date is super easy. And I promise you’ll make your sweetie a HAPPY CAMPER by planning a romantic camping date in your backyard!
Happy Camping!
