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.
Ozark Trail 6-Person Dark Rest Instant Cabin Tent
Walmart
$125.00
Ozark's Trail 6-person tent measures 10 feet x 9 feet and is a great size for medium-sized families. It takes just 60 seconds to set up, which means you can enjoy your backyard space for activities and prop it up at the end of the night. There are three built-in windows and it features a skylight with ceiling panels. And, in case it rains and you're brave enough to hold out, it includes a rainfly with factory-sealed seams.

Fillo Luxury Camping Pillow
Huckberry
$50.00
This luxurious camping pillow packs remarkably small in an integrated stuff sack -- which is the size of a grapefruit. It takes a matter of seconds to inflate the 3-inch I-beam baffled air cell, and is made with an ultra-soft luxurious foam, and has a soft microsuede or jersey texture, depending on whether you use the removable cover.
