The short answer
The best outdoor camping game for most RVers is GoSports Ladder Toss: it sets up in two minutes, packs small and works for every age. For a team game, bring Kan Jam; for mixed ages, bocce; and for active teens, Spikeball. Add a light-up disc to keep playing after sunset.
Shelf 1 of 3 · Toss games
Best toss games for the campsite
Four classic lawn games that pack into a bag and play on grass, sand or gravel.
Toss game 2–4 players
#1 · Best overall for campsites
GoSports Ladder Toss
GoSports · All ages · About 20 minutes · 4.6 stars from 12,805 Amazon ratings
Ladder toss is the classic campsite game: two ladders, six bolos, and you toss to wrap the bolos around the rungs. GoSports’ PVC targets come pre-glued and go together in under two minutes, the whole set packs into a slim carry case that slides into a basement bay, and it is light enough for kids to set up on their own. Soft rubber bolos mean no golf balls flying toward a neighbor’s rig.
What we like
- Sets up in under 2 minutes
- Light, slim carry case
- Soft rubber bolos, safer near RVs
Keep in mind
- Light PVC can tip in strong wind
- Basic score trackers
Best for: Every campsite and every age
Disc game 2 teams of 2
#2 · Best for teams of four
Kan Jam Disc Toss Game
Kan Jam · Ages 8+ · About 20 minutes · 4.7 stars from 11,597 Amazon ratings
Throw a flying disc toward the goal while your partner deflects it in; a disc through the front slot is an instant win. The goals fold down flat and tuck away, so it is one of the most packable outdoor games here, and it plays on grass, sand or a gravel pad. Fast, social and a great way to meet the folks at the next site.
What we like
- Goals fold flat and pack small
- Plays on grass, sand or gravel
- Fast, social team game
Keep in mind
- Best with 4 players
- Needs room between the goals
Best for: Two couples or a family of four
Toss game 2–4 players
#3 · Best cornhole for RVs
Amazon Basics Portable Cornhole Set
Amazon Basics · All ages · About 20 minutes · 4.5 stars from 2,578 Amazon ratings
Cornhole is the favorite game at campgrounds across America, and this set is made to travel: two plywood boards on solid-wood frames, eight bean bags and a carrying bag for the whole kit. Toss, slide and drop a bag through the hole for three points. The boards wipe clean with a damp cloth after a dusty weekend.
What we like
- Classic game everyone knows
- Carrying bag for the whole set
- Wipe-clean boards
Keep in mind
- Heaviest and bulkiest game on this list
- Bean bags get dirty on wet grass
Best for: Families who want classic cornhole
Lawn game 2–8 players
#4 · Best for all ages
GoSports 90 mm Bocce Ball Set
GoSports · All ages · About 30 minutes · 4.8 stars from 7,135 Amazon ratings
Bocce is easy enough for kids and grandparents and still competitive: roll your balls closest to the little pallino. This 90 mm set is a bit smaller and lighter than regulation (about 1 lb 10 oz per ball), which is easier for small hands and easier on your cargo weight. The resin balls play on grass, sand or gravel, and everything zips into a carry bag.
What we like
- 4.8 stars, the top-rated toss game here
- Plays on almost any surface
- Kids and grandparents can play together
Keep in mind
- Eight balls add some weight
- Smaller than regulation size
Best for: Mixed-age groups at any campsite
Know the campground rules
Most RV parks are happy to see lawn games on your own site. Keep play inside your site lines, away from neighbors’ rigs, slide-outs and the fire ring, and pack up when quiet hours start.
Shelf 2 of 3 · Yard & active games
Best active and yard games for RVers
Games for teens, bigger groups and long sunny afternoons, from a pocket-size disc to a five-foot tower.
Active game 2 teams of 2
#5 · Best active game
Spikeball Original Roundnet Set
Spikeball · Teens and adults · 15–20 minutes · 4.6 stars from 17,402 Amazon ratings
Roundnet is like volleyball played into a small trampoline: bounce the ball off the round net so the other team cannot return it. It sets up in a couple of minutes on grass or sand, there is no out of bounds, and the whole kit fits in a drawstring bag. It is a real workout and a teen favorite.
What we like
- The most active game on this list
- Packs into a small bag
- No court lines needed
Keep in mind
- Harder for little kids
- Costs more than most lawn games
Best for: Teens and active adults
Disc 2+ players
#6 · Best tiny-storage classic
Discraft Ultra-Star 175g Disc
Discraft · All ages · As long as you like · 4.8 stars from 4,965 Amazon ratings
The 175-gram Ultra-Star has been the official disc of the USA Ultimate Championship Series since 1991, and it flies straighter and farther than a toy-store flyer. It weighs next to nothing, slides behind a seat, and turns any open field, beach or park into a game of catch or Ultimate.
What we like
- About $13
- Takes up almost no space
- Pro-quality flight
Keep in mind
- Needs open space away from campsites
- Hard plastic can sting small hands
Best for: Every RV, as the always-packed game
Yard game 2+ players
#7 · Best giant game for groups
GoSports Giant Wooden Toppling Tower
GoSports · All ages · About 20 minutes · 4.8 stars from 6,927 Amazon ratings
A supersized stacking-block tower that starts about 2.5 feet tall and grows past 5 feet before it crashes. Kids love the crash, adults love the tension, and the included dry-erase board lets you assign silly rules to numbered blocks. With 54 big blocks, it is the bulkiest game here, so it suits rigs with a roomy basement or a tow vehicle.
What we like
- Big fun for every age
- Carry case included
- Dry-erase rule board
Keep in mind
- Bulky and heavy to store
- Needs flat, level ground
Best for: Big rigs and family reunions
Dice game 2+ players
#8 · Best budget yard game
Giant Wooden Yard Dice Set
Sport Beats · All ages · About 30 minutes · 4.7 stars from 2,706 Amazon ratings
Six 3.5-inch pine dice with burned-in dots and dry-erase scorecards turn Yahtzee, Farkle or any dice game into a lawn game. The corners are sanded round, so they are safe for kids, and the whole set fits in one drawstring bag. At about $20, it is the cheapest way to make a campsite feel like a party.
What we like
- About $20
- Plays Yahtzee, Farkle and more
- Packs into one bag
Keep in mind
- Wood can swell if left out in the rain
- You will need a dry-erase marker
Best for: Families on a budget
Pack it dry
Shake out sand and let bags, nets and wood dry in the sun before you stow them. Stored damp in a basement bay, they get musty fast.

How to set up the perfect campsite game
Four quick steps for safe, friendly fun at the campground.
2
Pick a game for your group
Two players? Try ladder toss or bocce. Four or more? Go with Kan Jam or Spikeball. Little kids? Ring toss and a scavenger hunt.
3
Mind sun, wind and neighbors
Play in the shade during the heat of the day, skip light games in strong wind and keep throws pointed away from other sites.
4
Clean up before you leave
Count the pieces, shake out the bags and stow everything dry so nothing is left behind or ruined on the road.
Shelf 3 of 3 · Kids & after dark
Best outdoor games for kids and evenings
Simple games for little kids, a nature hunt and a disc that glows when the sun goes down.
Swing game 1+ players
#9 · Best for small rigs
Tiki Toss Hook and Ring Game
Tiki Toss · Ages 8+ · As long as you like · 4.6 stars from 8,380 Amazon ratings
Swing a ring on a string and try to land it on the hook. That is the whole game, and it is wildly addictive. The kit is just a small tiki board, a hook, a ring and some string, so it takes almost no space. Mount it on a wooden post, a fence or a scrap board you bring along, since many parks do not allow screws in their trees.
What we like
- About $10
- Fits in a drawer
- Fun alone or with a crowd
Keep in mind
- Needs something to mount it on
- Ask before screwing into campground trees
Best for: Small rigs and solo play
Toss game 2+ players
#10 · Best for young kids
Elite Sportz Ring Toss Game
Elite Sportz · Young kids · About 15 minutes · 4.5 stars from 11,604 Amazon ratings
A wooden base with pegs and five rope rings: toss rings onto the pegs for points. It is simple enough for preschoolers, builds hand-eye coordination, and the soft rope rings are safe around tents and RVs. Pack it in its bag, and it works indoors on a rainy day too.
What we like
- Easy for little kids
- Soft rope rings
- Indoors or out
Keep in mind
- The light base can tip on bumpy ground
- Too easy for older kids
Best for: Preschoolers and young kids
Card game 1+ players
#11 · Best nature game
National Geographic Scavenger Hunt Card Game
National Geographic · Young kids · About 20 minutes · 4.8 stars from 518 Amazon ratings
Forty jumbo picture-and-word cards send kids hunting for everyday things indoors or out, with five ways to play in the box. It turns a walk around the campground loop into a game, gets kids looking closely at the world around them, and works in the car on travel days, too.
What we like
- Gets kids exploring the campground
- Five games in one
- Light and small
Keep in mind
- Best for younger kids
- Fewer ratings than our other picks
Best for: Young kids on nature walks
Disc After dark
#12 · Best after dark
TOSY Light-Up Flying Disc
TOSY · All ages · Up to 90 minutes per charge · 4.6 stars from 3,211 Amazon ratings
When the sun goes down, this rechargeable disc glows with bright, color-changing LEDs, so games of catch keep going under the stars. It weighs 175 grams like a regulation Ultimate disc, charges by USB-C in about 30 minutes, and lasts about a full 90-minute game. It was named one of TIME’s Best Inventions of 2024.
What we like
- Keeps the fun going after dark
- USB-C rechargeable
- Regulation 175 grams
Keep in mind
- Costs more than a plain disc
- Bright lights can bother neighbors at quiet hours
Best for: Evenings at camp
Play after dark
Snap a few glow sticks and drop them in the Kan Jam goals or hang them on the ladder toss rungs, and you can keep playing after sunset without lighting up the whole campground.

How we choose. We started with the best-selling and highest-rated outdoor games on Amazon and kept those rated 4.5 stars or higher, most with thousands of ratings. Then we favored games that pack into a basement bay, set up fast on a campsite and work for mixed ages. No company paid to be on this page, and a higher commission never moves a game up the list.
