For many, warm weather means getting outside and reconnecting with nature. We’re so excited to get away from it all, put our phones away, and just breathe deep for a few days. Then when we’re actually outside and we need to start a fire or pitch a tent, we realize how terribly ill-equipped we are to survive more than a day or two out in the wilderness. These funny camping fails perfectly encapsulate how cruel nature can be, or if we’re being honest, how there’s no way we’d survive if there’s ever an apocalypse and we’re forced to rough it.
Love these funny camping fails? Don’t forget to SHARE them with your friends on Facebook! We’d love to hear from you if you have your own camping fail to share!
I convinced the kids that these were where corn dogs really came from. Would have gotten reaction pics, but was laughing too hard.
When you’re out in nature, you see some pretty amazing animals rarely seen. Just marvel at this gorgeous majestic bird flying peacefully through the air.
You ignored all the other red flags, but maybe it’s time to really evaluate where this relationship is at…
Measure twice, cut once. It’s good advice even if you’re not remodeling something in your home.
When you’re so drunk you can’t even fully crawl into the tent that you failed to set up the night before…
Best $50 I ever spent was on this fake taxidermy bear. Kids’ reactions were priceless.
Imagine being so drunk that you don’t wake up from people wrapping duct tape around your face…
When you’re so cheap you opt for the child-size tent to save a couple bucks…
Whoever came up with this tent name and logo deserves a raise!
We bet you’re so focused on the tent high in the air that you didn’t notice the other floating tent that’s obscured by the trees. Classic example of someone not following directions.
Ah yes, took the boys camping to help them reconnect with nature. Little do they know, I’ve conveniently “misplaced” their chargers. I mean, what do they think this is, glamping? Day two will certainly be interesting.
As you can see, being glued to their phone has allowed the fire to go out with no other firewood in sight. They may not care now, but I’m sure they are going to care once the sun goes down and they find themselves without any light. Dad should keep that video camera handy because things are DEFINITELY going to get pretty hilarious in the next few hours.
To be fair, this is actually pretty genius if you’re going on a long trip. At least you’ll have a good view while you’re….you know. We’d recommend maybe some easy-folding partitions to put up for a little privacy, MacGyver…
When you don’t read the label and accidentally buy a dog tent. At least his face was spared from the mosquitos.
Some people are made for camping and some are just never going to survive when the apocalypse inevitably hits.
When you’re the last couple to wake up in the morning, these things are bound to happen around your friends.
And the Parenting of the Year award goes to this wonderfully relaxed mom who clearly DGAF! Welcome to life, little one!
You can scrape off that little bit of char, right? Good as new?
Yes, whomever has reserved that spot can have it. No arguments from me on that one!
This is the equivalent of a father smashing his kids’ video game console as punishment. This good boy doesn’t deserve all his “toys” burned.
Clearly someone didn’t know they should be turning the marshmallow slowly! We like a little char, but we can see the cancer-causing carcinogens bubbling up already on this one.
Maybe this says more about what’s inside the tent than the tent itself… OHHHHHH! Burn!
We’re pretty sure there’s a good joke about three dudes who can’t even pitch a tent together, but we can’t repeat it here.
Oh, yes! Feel that warm campfire air! Are you having fun, Billy? Don’t worry. The next five days are sure to fly by if you just sit there all day!
Camping is already muddy and gross without the dude who needs to show everyone how cool his truck is. Let’s just hope that these people all had their tents zipped closed, otherwise their entire weekend is now a wash (literally).
Let this pic serve as a cautionary tale for you campers to always store your food properly. Otherwise this will happen and you’ll have to bear the pain of defeat because you lost your tent (sorry).
Okay, so by no means are we camping experts here, but we’re pretty sure the point of camping is to get away from technology, and that includes work. This guy has clearly missed the whole point.
This looks like it could be a genius plan, but we’re putting it on this list because there is no way that it will work out. Just put the rake down and make your dang smores like a normal person!
As you can see, this person has also missed the mark regarding the point of taking a camping trip. If it’s too hot out, then don’t go camping in the middle of summer. Problem solved!
These people took the concept of “car camping” far too literally. You’re supposed to…you know what, never mind.
