Board games for your camping vacation: at the campsite, on the beach or in the roof tent

Board games while camping – Board games encourage patience, motor skills and strategic thinking.
They are also a great way to spend a few enjoyable and sociable hours with the family.
Whether in the awning in the rain or in the roof tent in the evening, board games always work.
Here are 6 tips with game instructions to make your game night at the campsite more entertaining.

Don’t get angry

We start with an absolute board game classic.
Players move their pieces across the board by rolling the dice.
While the dice are rolled to see who reaches the finish line first, players try to beat the other players.
This happens when a player places their piece on the same square as another player.
This piece then has to go back to the beginning and start again.
The winner is the first to get all their pieces to the finish line (color-coded spaces).
Mensch ärgere dich nicht at a glance:

  • Roll the dice to get your own pieces to the finish line
  • Beat other players (pieces on the same field)
  • Defeated characters: restart from the beginning
  • Winner: all game pieces at the finish line (colored playing fields)

Many people already know the rules.
But if you want to brush up on them, you can find them explained in this video.

Monopoly

In this game, the individual players build a street of real estate and try to take the other players’ money.
The other players’ streets or the event / community cards present obstacles.
These can quickly ruin an aspiring real estate monopoly.
Either the financial dream of play money awaits you or a prison sentence in the game’s own prison.
The winner is the player who doesn’t end up bankrupt.
That’s what Monopoly is all about:

  • Build a street of real estate & earn money
  • Obstacles: Event & community cards
  • Winner: Player who does not go bankrupt

The rules of Monopoly are not very simple, but you can find them explained here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZr-dgImTSg

Mill

Make sure you don’t get into a dilemma!
In this board game, two players must take it in turns to place three pieces in a row on a board.
Then the player who has three pieces in a row can take one of the other player’s pieces from the board.
First, each player places nine pieces of one color on the board, then these are moved from corner to corner in alternating moves.
If a player only has two pieces left on the board, they have lost.
The other player wins.
This is how you play mill:

  • Board game for two people (couples’ evening?)
  • Goal: line up three stones in a row
  • Then: Remove the opponent’s checker from the board
  • Loser: only 2 pieces left on the board

If you would like to look at the rule again in detail, you can find a video here that explains it again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Nnge6qIlRo

Game of life

This game is about making decisions.
The whole thing is based on playing through the life of a person.
You can move your character around the game board using a wheel of fortune.
The cards indicate actions with which you can either increase or decrease your fortune.
Whoever has the greatest fortune at the end of the game – at “retirement” – is the winner.
Once again at a glance:

  • Goal: Make decisions about life & reach retirement age
  • Move the figure not with the dice, but with the wheel of fortune
  • Expand & reduce cards with actions and assets
  • Winner: has the highest assets at the end (“retirement”)

This is what the game of life looks like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFkllmsB4rA

Tip: The game is also available in an app version for in-between games.

City, country, river

Many people also know Stadt, Land, Fluss.
All you really need is a piece of paper and a pen, but templates are available to buy or download from the internet.
The alphabet is counted down quietly at the beginning and the letter that is on “Stop” becomes the letter you play for this round.
Matching words in the categories city, country, river, name, animal and profession must always be assigned to this letter.
It’s especially nice if you can enter the camping site directly.
Of course, the categories are also customizable and can be tailored to your personal interests.
This is how City, Country, River is played:

  1. Count down the alphabet silently
  2. Say the letter for “Stop” out loud
  3. Matching words in 6 categories
  4. Categories: adapt to interests

The crazy labyrinth

The aim of this board game is to find as many secrets and artifacts as possible in the mysterious labyrinth.
The players move a game piece along the painted corridors on the board.
But beware: as new cards are constantly being pushed onto the board, the paths in the labyrinth can change significantly.
Will you still manage to collect everything or will you get stuck in a dead end?
This is what awaits you in the board game “The Crazy Labyrinth”:

  • Goal: Find artifacts & secrets
  • Move character through corridors
  • Corridors change due to cards

Offroad
Raised and extra stable for road and off-road… What do you do if you are traveling in regions with poor roads or drive an off-road vehicle or SUV whose dome height does not fit conventional trailers? The solution: the off-road tent trailer from CAMPWERK – specially developed for extreme conditions. This unique model impresses with a raised and particularly robust AL-KO chassis that can withstand even the most demanding off-road routes. The entire body is made of lightweight but sturdy aluminum, reinforced with durable stainless steel components. So you are perfectly equipped for any terrain.
Black / Silver
Available now: The CAMPWERK Offroader in the exclusive Black/Silver Edition CAMPWERK is expanding its range and now also offers the popular off-road tent trailer in the coveted Black/Silver Edition. The high-quality aluminium body is completely anodized in matt black, while the mudguards are powder-coated in elegant “Gun Silver Metal”. An absolute eye-catcher on any road and in any terrain!
The off-road trailer from CAMPWERK impresses with its lightweight construction: Thanks to the aluminum body, the base only weighs around 300 kg when empty. With a permissible total weight of 1.5 tons, it offers an impressive payload capacity of up to 1.2 tons – ideal for small excursions, transport and even larger expeditions.

Visually, the trailer blends in perfectly with the appearance of an off-road vehicle or SUV with its coarse-tread MT tires and robust, full-length aluminium mudguards. The mudguards are also designed in such a way that they are ideal for the safe transportation of petrol and water canisters or gas bottles.

To ensure flexibility, the off-roader’s tyres can be individually adapted to the towing vehicle on request, so that only one set of spare wheels is required. The standard ball head coupling can also be optionally replaced with a DIN or NATO eye.
T-drawbar or V-fork ?
Thousands of trailer drivers know the problem of tight spaces only too well: if you drive into a narrow lane and have to turn, it is important to back your car as far as possible against the trailer in order to get around the bend without any problems. With a T-drawbar, you can utilize the maximum steering angle. This is precisely why we at CAMPWERK rely on this tried-and-tested technology – for optimum flexibility and maneuverability, no matter how tight things get.

Material and processing.
The tent fabric of our trailer tents is made from a high-quality, 450 g blended fabric, also known as canvas. This unique combination of cotton and polyester combines the advantages of a natural fiber with those of a modern high-tech material. The result is a robust, breathable fabric that impresses with its pleasant feel and high dimensional stability.

The tent fabric, which is also used by the military, is impregnated and particularly tear-resistant thanks to the ripstop process. In this special weaving technique, thicker threads are woven into the fabric at intervals of around 10-15 millimetres, giving the fabric its characteristic tiled structure and exceptional tear resistance. It goes without saying that our fabrics are opaque and therefore offer optimum protection and privacy.
The basis of our trailer tents is a robust stainless steel frame with a thickness of 3×3 cm. A 1.8 cm thick, water-resistant wooden floor panel is securely fastened to this sturdy frame with stainless steel screws. The frame of the trailer tents is also made of galvanized steel tubing and special stainless steel components that ensure maximum stability. The modern surface finish not only offers a high level of corrosion protection, but also gives the material a pleasant feel and ensures a durable, weatherproof construction.
We rely exclusively on yarn from the German market leader Amann. Thanks to the combination of a cotton core and a high-tenacity polyester core, this yarn is characterized by a particularly high tensile strength and excellent water resistance.

On contact with water, the cotton coating swells and closes the seam holes created during sewing. For additional protection, all seams in the roof area are fitted with a transparent sealing strip to ensure maximum waterproofness.
Less is sometimes more.
We are often asked: What about the water column? For tent fabrics, the impermeability of the fabric is specified in the form of the water column. For cotton tents, this value is usually around 300 to 400 mm. However, our tent fabric offers an exceptionally high water column for cotton fabric of around 750 mm. This means that theoretically more than 75 cm of water can stand on the material before the first drops penetrate.

A major advantage of cotton as a natural raw material is its ability to swell when it gets damp, which provides additional waterproofing. In contrast, synthetic fabrics, which cannot swell, must have a much higher water column (between 3,000 and 10,000 mm, depending on the material) in order to achieve comparable waterproofness.
Good night.
The comfort sleep set consists of a high-quality visco foam mattress that adapts perfectly to the individual body shape, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. The set is complemented by the innovative Froli bed spring system, which guarantees an exceptional sleeping experience. Perfect sleeping comfort in a well thought-out overall package.
Premium mattress.
An excellent mattress is the basis for healthy and restful sleep. Just as every person is unique, their mattress should also be individually tailored to them.
Our premium mattress adapts perfectly to the contours of the body and promotes orthopaedically correct positioning of the spine. Thanks to targeted pressure relief, back muscles and intervertebral discs can relax optimally. The innovative construction and high-quality materials create an ideal sleeping environment.
There are no compromises at CAMPWERK: We rely on flexible visco foam with memory function. The unique combination of supportive foam core and relieving visco foam topper ensures maximum sleeping comfort.
  • Visco-elastic mattress.
  • High-quality Tencel® cover (38 % Tencel®, 62 % polyester).
  • Four practical turning loops.
  • Four-sided zipper.
  • Removable, divisible and washable.
  • Four practical turning loops.
Suspension.
Good ventilation is crucial for your well-being and sleep hygiene. To ensure maximum sleeping comfort, we combine our mattress with an innovative Froli slat base. The flexible spring elements form a comfortable slat base with individually adjustable firmness zones. This combination ensures orthopaedically correct positioning of the body and provides targeted, pressure-relieving support. This effectively prevents tension and one-sided strain. The open, air-permeable cells also enable optimum ventilation and create a healthy sleeping environment.
