Badminton is one of the most popular camping sports. You can play badminton with a minimum of 2 persons, but playing with more persons is also possible.

Every day you can try to improve your personal high score. Try to pick a good moment during the day, because if there is too much wind, it’s difficult to hit the shuttle right.

2. Beach volleyball with your feet in the sand

Do you want to be active with your feet in the sand? Then beach volleyball is the perfect activity for you! A volleyball net is available on most sandy beaches. It looks like an easy sport to practice, but the sand makes running harder. Off course this is good for a full body work out! Don’t forget to bring a beach volleyball if you go to the campsite. In case you forget to take the beach volleyball from home, you probably can buy it in store.

3. Tennis balls in your suitcase

At some campsites you can follow a tennis lesson. Play a game 1 against 1 or 2 against 2, challenge someone from your family or neighbour for a game or start a competition with the whole street. In any case this will give a relaxed and cozy holiday atmosphere.

4. Table tennis at the campsite

At almost every campsite you can find a table tennis table. You can play competitions during your holidays. You can play 1 against 1 or 2 against 2, but if there are more players you can also play ‘around the table’. With this game you run from one side of the table towards the other side behind your predecessor. The first person to make a mistake has to leave the round. This means that fewer and fewer people remain standing , until only 2 persons are left. The last 2 remaining players compete against each other, resulting in 1 winner.

5. The balls close together : Jeu de boules

When the small ball is thrown, you are supposed to get the boules balls as close to the small ball as possible. You can play this game 1 against 1, but also with several against each other. Every jeu de boules ball has its own characteristic. One set has different colours and the other has a different number of lines on the balls.

If all bottles are placed in a certain area and everyone is ready the ball can be thrown into the field. The aim of the game is to shift each other’s bottles with the football. If a bottle is hit and falls down you need the chase the ball as quick as possible. If you catch the ball you run back to your bottle to put it back up.
