We asked you, our wonderful community of road warriors, a burning question about your favorite pastimes. The great outdoors is a big part of the RVing allure, but what do we actually do out there once the rig is leveled and the awning is out? We were genuinely curious to see which classic campsite games reign supreme.
This topic was first presented as a poll in our newsletter, where we dig into the fun and funky details of the RV lifestyle. We want to remind all our readers to subscribe and vote in future polls so your voice can be part of our collective findings. Let’s dive into the results and see how your fellow RVers prefer to play!
Here is a breakdown of how the votes stacked up for your favorite campsite activities.
| Activity | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Cornhole | 84% |
| Frisbee | 5% |
| Badminton | 11% |
| Volleyball | 0% |
The Undisputed King of the Campsite
All hail the mighty cornhole board! It appears this game has successfully bean-bagged the competition into oblivion. Its landslide victory suggests that no campsite gathering is truly complete without the distinctive thump of a bag hitting the board. This is the undisputed social sport of the RV world.
A Shuttlecock’s Valiant Effort
Badminton managed to secure a respectable, if distant, second place. We imagine this involves a valiant effort to find a clear patch of grass away from low-hanging branches. The sound of a racquet hitting a shuttlecock is a classic summer melody, even if the game often ends with the birdie stuck in a tree.
The Frisbee’s Fading Flight
The humble Frisbee, a symbol of free-spirited fun, seems to have lost some of its air. Perhaps the risk of it landing on the neighbor’s roof or taking out a plate of burgers is just too high. It’s a simple joy, but it seems RVers prefer their games with a side of strategy and a stable landing zone.
And Then There’s Volleyball…
A big, fat zero. Not a single vote for volleyball. It seems the idea of digging a spiked ball out of the gravel or untangling a net from the awning is a universal turn-off. The collective “nah” on this one is both hilarious and completely understandable. Some activities are just better left to the beach.
Conclusion: Why Cornhole Conquered All
We believe cornhole’s overwhelming victory comes down to pure, unadulterated practicality. It’s a game of skill that requires minimal setup, can be played with a drink in one hand, and is incredibly social. You can easily chat and play simultaneously. Furthermore, the equipment is perfectly suited for RV storage; the boards are flat and the bags are small. Unlike the space-hungry badminton set or the wildly unpredictable Frisbee, cornhole offers a contained, low-impact, and highly entertaining experience that perfectly complements the relaxed, community-focused vibe of a modern campsite. It’s simply the perfect RV game.
