A dad with his two sons camp out in the backyard of their home due to the coronavirus restrictions and quarantine. They have pitched a tent and created a beach scene with stuffed animal friends and have a fake campfire. They are making the best of their situation and long to return to the real outdoors.

Backyard camping is a great way to enjoy the outdoors, but with the security of being in your comfort zone, especially if you're with young children.

You can stash away your mobile phones, tablets and gadgets inside your home -- switch off from your daily responsibilities and spend time bonding with your family.

For many, this is a great practical foundation before heading out to the actual wilderness or campsite, where you're slightly more exposed to things going wrong.

So, whether you're a family of four practicing before you head out on an exhibition, or just want to experience camping outside and hearing the beautiful sounds of nature to sing you to sleep, we've gathered a great selection of camping gear, tents, camping chairs, and bonfire stoves to help you create some fond memories.
