How it works

These would you rather camping questions are about a tent trip: sleeping bags, camp cooking, trails, weather and what you forgot to pack. Deal one at the picnic table, on the drive or once the dishes are done.

Read the full guide

Six topics, one for each part of the trip

Press Topic to choose. Tents and sleeping bags, Campfire and camp cooking, Trails and hikes, Weather, bugs and critters and Gear and packing hold choices a camper really faces, such as Set up the tent alone or take the tent down alone. Impossible campsites holds the ones no map shows: Camp inside a giant pumpkin or camp inside a hollow moon.

Take the deck where there is no signal

For a campsite with no signal, print before you leave home. When a round ends, press Print these: the cards come out as slips to cut apart and keep with the camping gear. Draw one a night and let the smaller side explain itself.

Tips
  • Under Topic, Hard keeps the cards where both sides cost something: no s'mores all trip, or no hot breakfasts.

Questions and answers

What are some good camping would you rather questions?

Start with Leave your pillow at home or leave your camp chair at home. For a longer argument, try Have a campfire with no stories or have stories with no campfire.

Are these camping questions all right for kids?

Yes. Every card is clean, and none is about danger, tricks with fire or anything scary in the dark. Impossible campsites and the Easy cards, such as Find a frog in your shoe or find a beetle in your mug, suit younger campers.

Can I print them for a camping trip?

Yes. When a round ends, press Print these for the whole deck as slips to cut apart, or choose a topic first to print only its cards. The full list also sits under the deck.

How this list was compiled

Own work: 60 two-option questions written for this page on 2026-10-01, none taken from another site's list, and no card or option reused from the other would you rather decks on this site, the camp cards of the summer deck and the camping charades included (checked by script on 2026-10-01). Every card is a choice about a tent trip: tents and sleeping bags, the campfire and camp cooking, trails, weather and small animals, gear and packing, and a few campsites that cannot exist. No card states a fact. Nothing here involves alcohol, danger, a dare with fire or a blade, strangers or a phone, and no park, gear maker or brand is named. Licence: own work
