Creative Camping Birthday Party {Featured Parties}

Share To:

Our talented reader, Lauren never ceases to impress us! When she sent us the photos from this super fun camping themed party, we knew we had to share. You may remember the Art Party that Lauren threw for her daughter Cameron or her Memorial Day Party filled with amazing details. This party was for her son, Davis, who turned five. Last summer, Davis went on a camping trip with his dad and came home announcing that he wanted a “tent party”. That was all the push Lauren needed to get started, and the theme “Camp 5 Rocks” was born. So, sit back and enjoy all of the wonderful details of this fabulous party!



How adorable is this watermelon “porcupine”? Lauren found him on Pinterest, and knew he would be perfect for the party! Pinterest is such a wonderful site for finding party inspiration and ideas.

Beautiful job, Lauren! The thoughts and details that you put into your parties are truly astounding.

Thank you for allowing us to share this with our readers!

      Hi Nichole,
      I got the s’more candy apples at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. I wish I could say I made them!! I got the wooden tiered dessert stand from Pottery Barn. It’s still available right now if you want it. I think they call it a farm stand??

    Thanks for your help.

  18. Maria Boada says:

    I am planning a camp-out party for my son in May. I love all of the printables and party details; like the cut log platters and red ant place card holders…where did you find these?

    • Kheri says:

      Did you ever find the log font or how to get those cute printables?
      My party is next week and I would love to have some of those.

  19. Leslie says:

    I have been looking all over for those ant card holders-where can I find them?

    Thank you!

  20. Cynthia says:

    What did you have for the bug bites on the table. I can see the sign, but not what kind of good it is.

  21. Whitney says:

    What activities did the kids do?! Love this party, I’m hoping to recreate something similar for my son! Thx!

  22. Nikki Zigler says:

    What a creative soul you are, just amazing! Can you tell me who did the t-shirts? My son is turning 7 and we are doing a camping party in 2 weeks, he is so excited! Thanks.

  23. Renee Stewart says:

    loved the decorations and everything would you mind sharing your resources and anything else you think would be helpful. My three year old daughter is having a camping themed 4th birthday party. I can use all the help I can get. Anything would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks
    Renee’

  24. Dina says:

    Love this!! I am having a camping party next month for my son. Where did you get the wooden utensils? An what did you use for the bug bites?

  25. Such a cute party idea! Love the theme~ definitely going to throw this one out as an option for him this year

  26. Tyeshi Hernandez says:

    hi I wanted to know exactly whats in the dirt cups and how did you make those smores apples

  27. Carole says:

    Love the idea! What did you use for the backdrop? How to hold the polka dot fabric?

  28. robert says:

    hello guys!! i want to say about decorations. Since your party will be in the backyard there is really no need for decorations as the great outdoors will do your decorating for you. What you can do is set up your backyard to resemble a campground with tent, fake log fire, sleeping bags, camp chairs and anything else you might see in the wilderness.

  29. Sara boniske says:

    Can you tell me where you had the silverware stamped with great very cute log font? Thanks so much

  30. kym says:

    I was wondering where you got the wooden flatwear too?
