Camping is for setting up tents, spending time with friends and family, and enjoying all that nature offers. While spending time outdoors can be a cathartic experience, a weekend camping isn't complete without some solid camping jokes. A good zinger can lighten the mood and make you forget about the breakfast burritos you left behind at home, and add a dose of levity after pitching all the tents, which we all know can be frustrating. Besides, what else would you do while sitting around a campfire? Camping jokes can be a little in tents, but they still crack us up!

The best part about these jokes, puns, and funny stories is that while they may be a cringe-worthy, they poke a little fun at all the outdoors has to offer. There are jokes about tents and hiking, and even a nod or two to the mountains we like to hang out in. These camping jokes have a little something for everyone in the family.
