14 Seasonal Campsite Ideas to Jazz up Your Site This Year
Seasonal camping is the perfect way to spend more time outdoors. But just because you’re heading to the woods doesn’t mean you can’t camp in style!
We’ve put together 14 seasonal campsite decorating ideas to make all of your Pinterest campsite dreams come true!
Campsite Furniture
1. Outdoor Rug
Spice up your outdoor space with a durable and stylish rug. Not only will an outdoor rug help define your campsite’s “living room”, it’ll also help keep your area clean and prevent you from tracking dirt into your RV.
2. RV Deck
RV deck provide a great gathering space. It might seem a bit excessive for a campsite, but when you’re living in your RV full-time for the season, or even if you’re just planning frequent visits, a deck can make your space really feel like your home away from home.
A quick Pinterest search will show you tons of options for DIY-ing your own, but if you’re looking for a more portable option you can use season after season, check out Travel Easy Decks.
3. Portable Tables
Bring a folding picnic table or two to use as a food staging area, campsite bar, or a card table for games! And if you really want to get fancy, a portable washing table with a built-in sink and faucet is a great addition to your seasonal site setup.
Don’t forget to bring folding side tables as well. A few scattered throughout your seating area will make mealtime a breeze.
4. Comfy Camp Chairs
Gone are the days of uncomfortable camp chairs! You’re swapping your living room couch for camp chairs for the season, so it’s important to invest in seating that’s just as comfortable and luxurious.
5. Screen Room
A screen room is a must if you’re planning to spend time at your seasonal site during bug season. Screen rooms provide a great space for staging food and hanging out outside when the bugs are at their peak.
6. Propane Firepit
A campsite isn’t complete without a campfire! And with a propane firepit, you’ll still get that true campsite feel without all the hassle of getting a fire going and shooing away the smoke once it’s rolling. Camping World offers a variety of great options for propane firepits and other camping accessories.
And bonus! Propane firepits are typically still allowed during firebans.
7. Hammock
This one doesn’t need much of an explanation… There are few things more relaxing than kicking back in a hammock under the wide-open sky. Set one up and rock your cares away!
Campsite Decor
8. String lights
Hang string lights along your RV awning or even string them up between trees for the perfect soft lighting as the sun goes down.
You’ll want to assess your power situation at your seasonal site before deciding which lights are right for you. There are plenty of solar powered options on the market if your access to power is less than ideal.

9. Tiki Torches
Tiki torches are so fun! But they’re also functional… it’s a win-win! Like string lights, they provide campsite lighting, but they ALSO provide mosquito repellant and a fun beachy vibe.
10. Plants
We know, we know, you’re camping out in nature! It seems silly to bring potted plants with you to your site… But there’s just something so joyful about your favorite flowers or even an herb garden you can use for meals all season long.
Just make sure you have a self-watering system in place if your site doesn’t get much rain.
11. Dinnerware
Just because you’re camping doesn’t mean you have to resort to eating off flimsy paper plates all season long. Pack some durable ceramic dinnerware for a quick meal-time upgrade.
Campsite Entertainment
12. Outdoor Games
Don’t forget to pack your lawn games! Games like Bocce ball, ladder toss, and cornhole are easy to transport and set up, and a great way to spend quality time together all season long.
13. Movie Projector
If you really want to bring your living room outdoors, a portable projector is the perfect splurge! And you don’t even need the whole screen. A white sheet draped over the side of your RV serves as a perfect backdrop for your favorite movie.
14. Bird Feeder
Set up bird feeders around your site to invite local birds straight to your campsite for a morning song and an afternoon of bird-watching.
Seasonal camping is a great way to get outside and spend more time in nature without all the hassle of overnight camping. Use this list to help you set up your dream campsite oasis, your home away from home so you can sit back, relax, and settle in for the season.
