Between the campfires, ghost stories and s’mores, it's no wonder why campouts are so much fun! Whether you want to relive a childhood memory or experience a campout for the first time, the Great American Backyard Campout is a fantastic opportunity to sleep under the stars.

This annual event is a fundraiser hosted by the National Wildlife Federation. Tonight, pitch a tent in the backyard or head to your nearest campground for some classic, outdoor fun. Just make sure to watch out for bears! If you want to aid the National Wildlife Federation’s efforts, learn more about how you can join the Great American Backyard Campout.
