When the sun sets and you’re parked up for the night in your campervan or motorhome, there’s nothing better than kicking back with some good old-fashioned entertainment. Whether you’re travelling solo, as a couple, or with the whole family, these easy, space-saving game night ideas will turn any pitch into your personal fun zone — no extra power or Wi-Fi required!
🃏 1. Packable Card Games
Card games are the ultimate campervan-friendly pastime. They’re lightweight, require no setup, and come in endless varieties.
Top picks:
UNO – A family favourite and fast-paced fun.
Dobble – Quick, visual matching game great for kids and adults.
Cards Against Humanity (Family Edition) – For laughs around the table.
👜 Tip: Store your games in a zip bag or small box to save space in your van drawers.
🎲 2. Travel-Size Board Games
Compact board games are designed specifically for small tables and on-the-go living. Look for magnetic versions to prevent lost pieces during bumpy rides.
Recommended titles:
Travel Scrabble
Yahtzee (with shaker cup)
Connect 4 (travel version)
Backgammon / Chess / Checkers combo sets
🎧 3. Audio-Based Fun: Music & Quiz Nights
Turn your motorhome into a mini pub quiz or music lounge with nothing more than a smartphone or speaker.
🎤 Ideas:
Use music apps to play Guess That Tune
Try free quiz apps like Trivia Crack or host your own with printed questions
Take turns making themed playlists – e.g. 80s night, camping anthems, guilty pleasures
💡 A Bluetooth speaker or smart lantern with built-in audio can really set the mood!
🧠 4. Word & Storytelling Games (No Gear Needed)
Sometimes the best games don’t require anything at all! Keep your group entertained with classic word games that work in any setting.
