Family camping games are a great way bring everyone together for some friendly competitions while camping. Choosing the right games to play depend on the abilities of the group. If you have small children playing, you need to take this into consideration when choosing the game. Here is the first game in our top 4 camping games.

Cornhole

Cornhole is the new bean bag toss. It is played with bags filled with corn, sand or beans. The bags are tossed at a platform that is typically 4′ by 2′, the board has one hole and the holes are placed 33′ apart. Scoring is as follows - 3 points for a bag in the hole and 1 point for a bag on the board. The great thing about this game is that anyone can play and the rules can be changed to suit the players. If you have little one(like us), just move the platforms closer together. Cornhole is also very popular with tailgaters since it can be played on any surface and is easily transported. Many people customize there platforms with cornhole decals that match there favorite sports team. You may also hear the game called corn toss, baggo, Indiana horseshoes, bean bag toss and many other names.
