One thing we’ll never get too cool (or too old) for is camping in our backyards. Setting up the tent, roasting marshmallows, and running inside to use the bathroom in the middle of the night are what childhood memories are made of, so why not revisit them as an adult, or with your own kiddos? We’ve rounded up our fave backyard camping essentials for an outdoorsy staycation. (Psst…check out more of our recs for summer essentials and inflatable pools to make the most of the rest of the season.) From backyard fire pits to camping cots, backyard bars, and more, go camping just for the hill of it — without actually needing to hike anywhere. Pass the s’mores, please.

We're bringing you products, recs, and suggestions that'll make your life just a liiittle easier. It all starts with adding us to your inbox.
