The 29+ Funnest Kids Camping Toys, Games and Activities of 2022

If you love camping, then it sort of permeates your life – you get camping shirts, camping mugs, camping decor… and of course, if you have kids, fun toy camping sets and toys!

I’m not gonna lie, I’m a sucker for camper themed stuff. I’m totally the person that falls for all those cute camping shirts, and the amazing mugs (my husband has one that says “camping is IN-TENTS” LOL!).

So, it’s not surprising really that I’ve gone down the rabbit hole of kids camping toys.

And OH MY GOSH! I want to get some just to display in my own bedroom!

So much fun camping play – from camping themed games, play sets, glowing campfires, heck.. even Barbie seems to enjoy getting out!

JUMP TO: Here’s what we’ll cover in this kids camping toys guide

Toy Camper Trailers

Hot wheel style, lego style, heck there are even coin banks camper trailers (which I would still count as toys because my 3 year old has been begging me for a coin bank!)

I’ll try and divide it up even further so that it’s easier for you to find what you need!

LEGO Toy Camper Trailers

These are FREAKING adorable and perfect for the little camper who loves legos!

You can build an opening camper with awning, picnic table, boat, grill and even a bear! It includes a woman and child figure, and guess what..

This can be rebuilt into a Summer Home AND a Yacht! I love multifunctional toys!
