Camping Coloring Pages

Pack the crayons next to the flashlights. Our free camping coloring pages show a tent glowing at dusk, marshmallows toasting over a campfire, a canoe on a still lake, a camper van under the pines and a sky crowded with stars. They're handy for scout meetings, summer camp, road trips and the rainy hour inside the tent that every trip seems to include.

Camping designs you can print

  • Tents: dome tents, a tent lit from inside and a whole campground of them
  • Campfires and s'mores: logs in a ring of stones, roasting sticks and sandwiches of graham cracker, chocolate and marshmallow
  • Camp gear: lanterns, backpacks, sleeping bags and hiking boots
  • On the water: canoes, fishing rods and a dock at sunrise
  • Campers and trailers: a camper van, a trailer with an awning and folding chairs
  • Wildlife: a raccoon eyeing the cooler, with deer and owls at the edge of the trees
  • Night sky: the moon, constellations and a shooting star over the treetops

Camping know-how to share while you color

A few basics make any trip smoother. Pitch the tent on flat, high ground so rain runs away from it. Build fires only in a fire ring, keep a bucket of water nearby and soak the ashes until they're cold before you leave. Store food in a sealed container or the car so animals aren't tempted, and watch wildlife from a distance. Pack out everything you bring in. Far from city lights you can see thousands more stars than at home. Find the Big Dipper first: the two stars at the end of its bowl point toward the North Star.

Ways to use camping coloring pages

  • Trip countdown: color one page a day in the week before you leave.
  • Packing checklist: use the gear page as a list and color each item as it goes in the bag.
  • Tent time: clip pages to a clipboard for rain delays and quiet hour.
  • Backyard campout: no campsite needed. Pitch a tent on the lawn and color by lantern light.
  • Star walk: pair the constellation page with a real look at the sky after dark.
  • Trip journal: on the back of each page, write what you saw that day.

Frequently asked questions

Are these camping coloring pages free?

Yes. Every camping coloring page here is free to print and download for personal and classroom use.

What should kids bring to color on a camping trip?

A clipboard, a zip bag of colored pencils and a dozen printed pages. Crayons can melt in a hot car, so pencils are the safer pick in summer.

Do you have camping coloring pages with animals?

Yes. Raccoons, deer and owls appear near the tents and campfires. For more wildlife, see animals.

Are these good for scout troops and summer camps?

Yes. Leaders may print as many copies as they need. The gear, campfire and night sky pages fit well with outdoor skills sessions.
