How do you decorate your campsite?

[CorgiCrazy]

I was just wondering and looking for ideas. We usually, have a nice table cloth, put lights around the awning, 2 indoor/outdoor rugs, and chairs. And a dog or 2, lol

Just chairs and a hammock for now. We will probably get an outdoor mat soon - there is one with Kokopellis at Sportsman's Guide that we are considering. I am not sure what to do for lights yet, but we could use a little extra light, since the popup just has an amber light placed fairly low.

I love tacky patio lights. I have several strings to suit our mood, the campground or the holiday. Same goes with the picnic table cloth. We usually have something on the picnic table - even if it's just a citronella candle. We set the travel grill up, an extra table, and lots of camp chairs around the fire ring along with a small foldable table for setting the smore stuff on! And, yes, we pay attention to color. It has to match the RV - including the mat for under the awning. 🙂 Oh, and I can't forget our small, decorative, "Happy Campers" flag on a small wrought iron holder. To complete the decor, there are always a pile of colorful kayaks and bikes (which my Marine husband insists are neatly parked). We do this whether we're in an RV resort, a beautiful state park on the beach, a rustic state forest campground or boondocking (minus the awning lights)! Love it!

I decorate around the fire ring with a few folding chairs if that counts.

...another good reason to prefer boondocking.

I put out the outdoor carpet at the 5th wheel door, set up the table and outdoor grill, set the chairs up around the campfire ring for family & friends, place the ingredients for our evening mixers at the outdoor kitchen, place the old reliable Coleman lantern on a hook and kick back to watch the deer and moose stroll into the open meadows in the evening sun. Ahhh, the beauty of nature:)

DW handles the decorating while I don't interfere.

I decorate the site with a 5th wheel trailer, a truck that is there part of the time, and if it is a dusty site, I may put down a outdoor carpet under the steps.

White Culpepper "Don't Tread On Me" US flag, and at night LED programmable lighting inside Lucite tubes set to the Optima/Kenwood/Polk 200W stereo system...

No real "decorations" per se...

Bikes, scooters, dog, 5 chairs around the fire, firewood, and an outside cook center under the awning.

I do the same but add myself to one of the chairs.

we put out what we need for practical use on short trips. will we use the table, then the table cover. will we use the chairs, then they come out. new this year is a small size mat under the awning, it stops a good bit of dirt from going into the trailer, and has proven to be a good place for the kids to sit and play. will the kids have time to play outside, then out comes their toy bin. for a week in one place with electric hook-up we may put a string of lights on the awning since hubby likes them as light at night instead of the bright patio light on the side of the trailer. we do have a name sign, if hubby remembers that gets hung on the front of the trailer. if we are camping for July 4 and I remember, I have a bunting I hang on the side of the trailer. that's it, the more we put out, the more we need to pack-up when it is time to leave. and we and the kids hate pack-up time.

All depends on where one is....I dont think in a wilderness setting, having lights, flamingo's and such go so well BUT in a full hook up Resort....do whatever pleases you. I always lay out the ground rope lights, hang the flag, put out a welcome sign etc etc. I dont "get off" telling others what they can do in their sites....but I see, as usual, many others feel its their duty!

WE have always preferred that NATURE decorate our campsites 🙂 Flashing lights and plastic deer are what we go camping to get away from 🙂
Good luck / Skip

Grass, leaves and trees works for me.
