2nd Great American Backyard Campout is coming! On June 24th

This sounds like a great excuse to turn off the computer and enjoy the great outdoors for a while. Sometimes we all need a good excuse to get away from it all...or, at least, get away from a little of it.

Discover a wild new world in your own backyard!

Gather family, friends and neighbors-- the second Great American Backyard Campout is coming! On June 24th, folks all across America will come together in backyards, parks, and camps to enjoy a night of star-gazing, listening for nocturnal wildlife, and exploring a whole other world right in your backyard.

Be part of this nation-wide event! Add your campsite today and we’ll help you make the most of your event with packing lists, recipes, nocturnal wildlife guides, exploration activities, a night sky-guide, local weather and more.
