Anyone Bring The Bean Bag Toss Game (Corn Hole) To Camp?

[goreds2]

I was just wondering if anyone brings this type of game to a campsite with them. I plan on just bringing one of the two boards with me next week.

You're right, I think they should ban children, diesel engined vehicles, gas powered golf cars, and dogs. Oh, and let's not forget those noisy squirrels, the thump thump of nuts falling from trees is very irritating. Running water makes a horrendous noise at times, ever been to Niagara Falls? There should be a law!

But if I had the power the first thing I would ban is cranky people. 🙂

Oh, and old curmudgeons who isist on clearing their throat and hacking up a gooey soggy one at 6am in the morning when you're trying to sleep in.

Any irritating noise should be banned at CGs. It has nothing to do with quiet times or taking a nap. It has to do with some people playing this game for many hours a day. Most people are bothered by repetitious noise that goes on for hours. Think Chinese-water-drip-torture. Most of us are there to relax and hear the sounds of nature and have conversations with others, not to hear the constant thudding of bags hitting boards. Having the whap, whap, whap noise of corn-hole go on for hours is very inconsiderate of other campers. Just as inconsiderate as allowing dogs to bark all day or blaring music all day just because it's not "quiet time." Why not play noisy games like corn-hole at home in your own back yard? Or walk away from the other campers and play it in a nearby area?

Sounds like you're doing it wrong. I WOULD NOT go to a campground full of kids, dogs etc. parked among so many other campers and expect to "listen to the sounds of nature." All you're going to hear is other's having fun, and your own blood pressure boiling.

To those out west - baffled, or just amused, by the name - and I was for awhile until I gigured it out - we call it 'bean-bag' out here!:S
And yes - it can sting if you do get beaned!

Professional Corn-Hole players call this getting "bagged"..... which is painful no matter what game you're playing.

Love these. I saw them on Craigslist.

[goreds2]

Do businesses buy these for their waiting rooms? :h

I like "Washers", we don't get as many odd looks when we are looking for people to play washers, yelling "Does anyone want to play Corn Hole?" is different.....

We bring our game of "Horse Balls" with us every trip... you could also call it "Ladder Golf" but where's the fun in that?

Tears in my eyes. This thread is the comic releief I needed while working here in Amsterdam. YEst the term "Cornhole has a totally different meaning here too"

So how does this work?
You see some RV neighbors you like..... Then ask them if they'd like to come over for some cornhole fun?

This thread has me in stitches and your post split them!! ha ha

Nope - never bring it. It's quite heavy and would add too much weight.

Thanks, it is amazing the different kinds of boards that can be made.

I played last Sunday against the neighbor. I can't wait to take it camping this year.

Go Boone docking in the middle of nowhere then.
