Activities to Do With Camping Coloring Pages
Don’t let the fun stop once the coloring is done. You can use these pages to spark creativity and get your kids excited about nature. Here are a few ways to extend the playtime.
Create a Paper Campsite Diorama
Transform a shoebox into a 3D camping scene. Have your kids color the tents, trees, and camper vans, then cut them out carefully. Glue small cardboard tabs to the back so the figures stand up. Place them inside the shoebox to build a miniature world. You can even add real twigs and pebbles for extra texture.
Nature Scavenger Hunt Checklist
Turn the “Camping Gear Doodle” page into a real-life game. After coloring the items, hide real versions of a flashlight, compass, or backpack around the house or yard. Give your child the coloring page as their checklist. They can tick off each item once they find the matching object hidden nearby.
Campfire Story Starters
Use the finished coloring pages as prompts for storytelling. Pick a scene, such as the “Bear Encounter” or “Friend Group Camping Night,” and ask your child to tell you what happens next. Who are the characters? What are they eating? This builds vocabulary and imagination without needing a screen.
Glow-in-the-Dark Art
Make the “Moonlit Campfire Scene” or “Campfire Under the Stars” truly shine. Once your child finishes coloring with markers or crayons, use glow-in-the-dark paint for the stars, the moon, and the flames. Turn off the lights to see the artwork light up just like a real night under the sky.
Design Your Dream Tent
Encourage your kids to get wild with their designs. Instead of traditional green or brown tents, ask them to design a “Dream Tent.” They can use glitter glue, stickers, or patterned washi tape to decorate the tent outlines. This activity allows them to express their unique style and personality.
FAQs
How Do I Print These Coloring Pages?
Click on the image or the download link provided for each page. This will open a high-resolution PDF or image file. From there, use your browser’s print function or save the file to your computer to print later.
What Is the Best Paper for Coloring Pages?
Standard printer paper works well for crayons and colored pencils. If your child prefers markers or watercolors, use cardstock or heavier paper. This prevents the ink from bleeding through to the other side.

Yes, these pages are free for personal and educational use. You can print as many copies as you need for your family, a classroom, or a scout troop activity.
Can Adults Color These Pages Too?
Absolutely. Coloring is a great stress-relief activity for adults. Detailed pages like the “Mountain View Campsite” or “Camper Van Journey” offer enough complexity to keep older artists engaged.
What Skills Does Coloring Help Develop?
Coloring helps improve fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and focus. It also encourages creativity and color recognition, making it a beneficial activity for children of all ages.
