35 Funny Camping Memes That Make Us Laugh Out Loud

Camping. It’s one of those things that either you love, or you loathe. If you love it, then you are all in. You love hanging out by the campfire, breathing in the fresh air, and being surrounded by nature. If you are not a fan of camping, then you probably think it’s strange that how modern humans have all the comforts of home…and then go out into the wilderness to be less than comfy.

But some campers may think, “ why not have the comforts of home ?”

No Judgement Here, Just Laughs!

If you are a camper, then you know there’s a wide variety of the type of campers out there and different ways to go camping. There are the rugged adventurers who love hiking with their backpack for days at a time, and camping out under the stars or in a popup tent along the way. Now that’s probably one of the best ways to get in touch with nature.

Then there are the RVer’s. 

Those who drive massive RVs complete with every convenience you could imagine, including RV wifi , comfy beds, multiple TVs and even indoor fireplaces. For RVs with all these features , it’s like being a turtle where you can bring all the comforts of home with you into beautiful nature.  With so many different types of RVs out there in all shapes and sizes, there’s something for every type of camper.

Some could hardly call this camping. But who cares! 

Tents Collapsing, Bears, Campfire Fiascos…It Happens!

Having grown up in a camping family, I’m well familiar with all the different ways to enjoy RV travel and camping . As a kid, we spent almost every weekend during the summer camping somewhere in my home state of Idaho – where there’s a lot of pretty amazing wilderness to choose from. And I’ve done it all. Camping in a tent, truck camper, campervan, trailers and giant motorhomes. 

Over the years I’ve struggled to put up a tent in a sandstorm, had tents fall down on me, and woke up with my sleeping bag soaked in a puddle. I’ve also witnessed campfire fiascos, wildlife intrusions, and stumbling around in the dark trying to find the way to the bathroom. 

And then there are the RVs. We love RV camping. But even we sometimes look at a setup and think “now that’s a little excessive.” Or “wow that RV is nicer than my house!” 

We can’t help but laugh at some of the different setups we’ve seen. So we thought it would be fun to gather some of our favorite funny camping memes that make us giggle because deep down, we know they’re true. And many of you campers out there I’m sure will totally relate!

Camping Memes That Sum Up Our Thoughts Perfectly!

I gotta admit, I LOVE this meme! First, Jim Gaffigan is hilarious. And I can just imagine hearing him deliver this line in his sarcastic tone. Sometimes I wonder if Josh thought this about me when I would talk about camping growing up…

THIS — 1,000 times over!  This is the truest Meme of all for us. Josh and I often joke with each other about this exact scenario when walking Hana around the RV parks. Plus, she’s so adorable people always want to come up and pet her. So naturally, we start chatting…and the poop just hangs out with us. And yes, in our PJs…

True story. There’s something about a campfire that’s soothing and relaxing, and especially when you are cooking the food even tastes better. But you have to laugh imagining people standing around the microwave with beers. 

I’m obsessed with tacos. And I love a good sarcastic bear meme. So thinking of people in sleeping bags as tacos always gives me a chuckle. 

Been there!!! I literally remember as a kid my parents trying out a new tent in our backyard, and it went pretty much like this. I’m sure many of you out there can relate. Plus the judging baby face is priceless.

Growing up in a camping family, I’ve heard so many stories of animals crashing the campsite. And I can definitely picture some of my relatives saying this exact phrase with intense sarcasm “go camping, they said. It’ll be fun they said.” 

Why is it that campfires are so hard to light when you need them? We always seem to go through a ton of paper and matches to get the fire going. So whenever we can get a roaring campfire, we pretty much feel exactly like this!  We’re practically giving ourselves applause for a fire that stays lit for more than a few minutes and allows us to cook anything!

LOL – this face sums it up perfectly! This is exactly how I feel when exiting bed or a tent on a cold mountain morning. 100% accurate.

When you actually remember to bring the marshmallows with you camping, then it’s a win. But if you are too late to snag one, it’s a tragedy. 

This meme gets me every time! There are different versions of it floating around online, but it is so true! The amount of money we spend on camping gear is completely insane. How such small and simple things can be so expensive is mindblowing. And the fact that we are choosing to do this is all the more ironic.

This is the EXACT face that Josh and I make to each other when we realize we forgot the marshmallows for s’mores. Of if we realize we don’t have enough chocolate.  It’s a sad sad moment.

So I have to admit, I have gone on “accidental” multi-mile hikes in flip flops on numerous occasions. Sometimes I’m just out for a walk exploring, taking a trail here or there, then next thing you know, I might as well finish the darn thing. In my flip flops. It happens. 

All you other full-time RVer’s out there have got to relate to this one!!!  I can’t tell you how many times I missed having a big bathtub at night while living in our RV . That’s part of the reason we ended up staying in RV parks with hot tubs. First world problems, I know. 

Having had a tent fall on me numerous times during the night when I was a kid (and teenager), this pic brings back a lot of memories. Good for him for making it work and getting a comfy night’s sleep.

Loving this. True story and wise advice to always keep in mind when you are out camping.

This one makes me laugh because I think of my parents. They are retired and have RV’ed extensively over the years. Sometimes us kids really have no idea where they are. So there you go!

Hehehe, his outfit is fantastic and I love the determination with which he is walking. With this caption, I really feel like something epic is about to happen. And I could see some people, like my dad, doing something like this.

Well, what can you say! Many others in my generation probably feel this way too. Josh and I can certainly understand the feeling when we were looking for our first home. Living in a van is pretty tempting!

Rain!!!!!  Probably the worth thing to deal with when camping, especially if you are in a tent. There always seems to be a hidden hole in that tent that will end up becoming a lake — of course, during the middle of the night when you are sleeping too!

This pic is so weird I can’t help but laugh out loud. I can just imagine a friendly horse trying to snuggle up in the tent with you…

This right here sums it up perfectly. I literally think this would be my exact reaction – simple and to the point. And I’d be frozen in place wondering what the heck to do! Definitely a fear of mine when out in a tent in the woods.

Having a family full of hunters, I get a chuckle out of this one especially when I think of all the hunting stories I’ve heard over the years. I love it!

Every single time. My grandfather used to tell me that “smoke followed beauty.” But my thought is that it just follows any warm-blooded human who seems to be moving around to avoid the smoke! 

We all know these types of campers out there! And this is a pretty impressive bar set up, something to be proud of for sure. Bring on the party with a view!

It blows my mind just how much campfire smell can be absorbed into your clothes, and how long it can stay there! We resorted to keeping our campfire clothes totally separate because it will make everything smell!

Hahahaha! As RV campers, I kinda feel this way too. We are spoiled to have all the luxuries of home with us, and I’m sure some of the more rugged campers out there smugly talk crap about us RVer’s – haha!

Sometimes it’s a game in the morning to play — “hmmm, what do you think was in the camp last night?” As you look around and notice things are out of place, even after you thought everything was put away well.

Have any of you gone Glamping before? I mean, this looks pretty awesome to me!

Awww, I can just picture my poor dog’s face like “what on Earth are you doing?!?!” When you put it this way, it just sounds so tragic…

True story!!! Before even seeing this Meme Josh and I would always joke about this, since we are huge Farley fans and love quoting that famous SNL skit. 

We all know someone who would change their mind about camping if their set up was like this. 

Why is this so true?!?!  A tent will seriously never fit back into its bag properly. Why can’t they make them just slightly bigger so I don’t strain myself trying to force it…but always just being a little bit too big?!?!

I laugh every time I see someone outside their RV with the TV on! Even Josh.  I’m not a TV fan in general, but I never quite understood the need to watch TV when you are out in nature surrounded by such beauty and tranquility.

And finally, this this right here. Do you think this is “roughing it?”

30 Camping Memes For Hikers, Fishers, and Nature Lovers in Need of Some Laughs in The Great Outdoors

Camping is one of those things I've never done but would love to do. Sure, I've slept in a tent in my backyard and been to camping-themed parties, but that is not even in the same stratosphere as actual camping. I've probably never camped because I don't have an outdoorsy family, but that's not wholly to blame. I've also seen The Blair Witch Project enough to know that I have comparable navigation skills to those three idiots. I also recently saw the movie The Fablemans about Steven Spielberg's childhood, which involves a camping trip that goes horribly wrong. Basically, (spoilers ahead) Steven Spielberg's mom cheats on Paul Dano with Seth Rogan, and teen Spielberg doesn't realize this until analyzing the body language of his mom and Seth Rogan in film footage of his family's camping trip that he recorded. I'm not interested in that sort of devastating familial realization, so I'm going to stick to traveling to other cities for right now. If you're cool with being Sammy Fabelman, these camping memes might be perfect for you.

40 Funny RV Camping Memes to Inspire Belly Laughs

This post may contain affiliate links. See our affiliate disclaimer here.

Camping or living in an RV is a great way to travel across America and explore the great outdoors. However, RV travel comes with several challenges that only RVers can understand.

Fortunately, most experienced RVers have learned to overcome these issues and laugh at their mistakes. Below are 40 Funny RV Camping Memes to help RVers laugh at their experiences.

All of the funny RV camping memes in this article, were created by me. I have lived in an RV for over five years, so I have definitely made lots of mistakes to poke fun at. Feel free to share these memes, but please credit Travels with Ted .

Funny RV Camping Memes

The following funny RV camping memes should give any RVer a good chuckle. Read on and see if you can relate to any of these RV camping situations.

If this RV meme confuses you, just take a walk around an RV park after dark. You can see everything inside any RV where the curtains are open and the lights are on. If you do not want everyone watching you watch TV, be sure to close the blinds at night.

Many campers are early risers, and are ready to hit the road at first light. However, many of these early birds also like to start their engine way too long before they leave and wake up the whole campground.

Camping at the beach is an awesome experience, but have your broom ready! This funny RV camping meme shows that parking on the beach has a few downsides.

If you are prepared to sweep constantly in exchange for incredible views, check out our list of the best RV campsites on the beach .

Some of our favorite funny RV camping memes compare the realities of RV camping to the pictures we see on Instagram. The internet features many pictures of RVs parked all alone in picturesque situations, but most RV parks look more like parking lots.

When camping in cool fall or spring weather, RVers rely on their propane heaters to keep them warm at night. When you wake up with frozen toes in the middle of the night, it is a good indication that you have run out of propane.

Many new RV campers picture cooking gourmet meals over the campfire. In reality, most campers end up roasting hot dogs or even picking up some fast food.

This RV meme is for the ladies who dry camp. When your campsite has full hookups doing your hair and makeup is a breeze. However, boondockers know the struggle to keep the tangles at bay is real.

For some reason, many RV manufacturers furnish their RVs to look like they are an eighties design statement. Fortunately, some RVs are starting to get modern makeovers. Click here to see RVs with modern finishes straight from the factory.

When you arrive at the campsite and it is slanted, you know you are in for a battle. After fumbling with the jacks and pulling up on blocks, it is always a relief when the RV is finally level (or at least level enough)!

Anyone who has slept on an RV mattress, knows they are just glorified camping pads placed on top of a wooden platform. Do yourself a favor; upgrade your RV mattress and sleep like the baby on the left.

RV camping is a great way to spend a holiday weekend. Unfortunately, thousands of other campers also think it’s a great idea. To have the perfect holiday camping weekend, plan to spend lots of time in nature and avoid the pool and other shared amenities.

This is one of our favorite funny RV camping memes for dry campers. Are you even an RVer if you haven’t taken a bath in a river or used a bucket for an impromptu shower?

There is nothing worse than packing up the campsite and realizing your slide won’t go in and you can’t drive away. If this happens to you, hopefully the issue can be fixed quickly without calling a repairman.

It is easy to have buyer’s remorse with RVs. Many RVers wish they had bought something smaller and easier to maneuver, while others wish they could upgrade to a big rig. The feature that really makes me jealous though, is a roof full of solar with a big battery bank.

While it may seem obvious to most of us, some campers don’t seem to realize that their sh*t stinks (literally). Most RVers try to dump when their neighbors are not around, but have a nose plug ready when you are parked next to inconsiderate campers.

Last but not least on our list of funny RV camping memes, are these friendly snowbirds. Whenever, we pull into a campground with lots of retirees there is always a greeting committee waiting to chat with us and help us park, whether we need it or not!

Funny RV Life Memes

The funny RV camping memes in this section are specific to the benefits and challenges of living full time in an RV. Read on and find your favorite RV life meme.

Ask full time RVers what they miss most about a sticks and bricks home, and 75% of them will say a bathtub. Hammocks are great, but they can’t compete with a relaxing bubble bath. If you care considering RV living, read our full list of the pros and cons of RV life.

When you live in an RV, there is no better feeling than sitting at the campground and watching the weekend campers pack up. It’s not that we don’t like weekend warriors, we are just glad we aren’t the ones who have to leave.

So, this RV life meme originated from my own grandmother. She loves to introduce me to people at her retirement home by proudly telling them I live in a trailer.

Everyone always seems very confused by her pride in this statement, but I’m pretty sure they are not picturing the scene on the right.

The above meme is my absolute favorite of all of our funny RV camping memes. It features our RV dog, Ted, in his favorite outfits pre and post RV living. The humans in our RV also dress a bit more casually for work these days.

If you want to see a full time RVer stumble over their words, just ask them where they live or where they are from. When you move every week or two, these can be incredibly difficult questions to answer.

If you answer that you live in an RV, you are also likely to spend the next hour answering follow-up questions.

Many RV parks ban the use of clothesline, which leaves full time RVers struggling to find somewhere to hang their clothes.

The solution? Use your RV’s awning or the back of your van. Then you aren’t technically breaking the rules. For easier laundry days, check out these RVs with a washer and dryer built-in.

These days it seems that renovating your RV is a required part of the lifestyle. However, remodeling an RV isn’t as easy as Instagram makes it seem. Avoid destroying your RV, by starting with these easy and affordable RV renovation projects.

RV maintenance and repairs are a reality for anyone living in an RV. Navigating the underbelly of your RV can be one of the most difficult aspects of any repair project.

The above RV life meme is a pretty accurate portrayal of how difficult it was to access the backside of our water heater.

Great water pressure at the campground makes for a happy camper. On the other hand, terrible water pressure is the perfect inspiration for a little RV humor!

Funny Digital Nomad Memes

Many full time RVers are also digital nomads who work from the road. Some of the best camping memes are related to finding service and trying to be profession while working from an RV.

Have you ever hung out a window or climbed a mountain to find one whole bar of cell service? If you answered no, you must not be an digital nomad living in an RV.

Another dream versus reality RV meme. Many digital nomads portray days spent working outside from an adorable desk in front of their adorable RV camper.

In reality, many RV nomads spend their days working from a desk or bed where they can avoid noise, glare and the hot sun.

Campground Wi-Fi almost never works, so when it does many RV campers feel like jumping for joy! No digital nomad should rely on Wi-Fi to work, but high-speed internet access means the chance to binge your favorite streaming show.

Funny RV Travel Memes

Our final section of funny RV camping memes is all about RV travel and the joys that come with it: steep roads, spilled stuff and crowded destinations. In reality, RV travel can be a lot of fun, but you came here for a good laugh so we will focus on the humor.

RVing and van travel is becoming increasingly popular, which makes it more difficult to find secluded campsites.

This is what the traffic might look like heading to that peaceful boondocking spot you found online. Read our definitive guide to RV boondocking for advice on how to find awesome camping spots.

This is often the face we see when we tell other RV travelers that we spent a few months RVing in Mexico.

Traveling to Mexico is actually a wonderful and safe experience. Read our complete guide to RVing in Baja, Mexico if you are interested in exploring outside the United States.

You may have noticed that many of our funny RV camping memes are about crowds. That is because as RVing becomes more popular, all the campgrounds are more crowded.

The same applies to national parks. If you want the Instagram worthy pictures without large crowds, show up early.

In our five years of traveling the country in an RV, we have been cut off by numerous small cars. It almost never fails when we see the drivers of these cars, they are looking at their phone.

Never show up on a holiday weekend without a reservation! If you do you will be greeted with a sign like the above and headed for the Cracker Barrel or Walmart parking lot .

It’s never ideal to arrive at the campground after dark. Site numbers are often small and hard to see at night, and once you locate your site you have to set everything up with a flashlight in hand.

There are endless places to visit and only three months of summer. This equation makes planning your summer RV road trip a complicated undertaking. For help, see our list of the best summer RV destinations .

Navigation apps are built to show drivers the fastest route, but most of them do not account for the size of your vehicle. When driving an RV, check the route for sharp turns, curvy roads and U-turns before proceeding.

If you do decide to proceed down a mountain road, hold on tight and be prepared for an adventure. Mountain roads typically offer beautiful scenery, but they also feature tight turns and steep cliffs.

Travel trailer tires are notorious for being too small for a full RV and easily blowing out. Always weigh your RV and check your tire ratings to ensure your tires are really safe for long road trips.

Planning your next move is always more difficult when your are traveling with a spouse who has different plans. Just remember the best camping trip is the one your wife planned!

The last of our funny RV memes is about the aftermath of travel days. Despite our best efforts to lock cabinets and secure everything, some days the RV is a total disaster by the time we arrive at our campground.

We hope our RV funnies made your laugh out loud, and didn’t scare you too bad.

If you want some more laughs, check out these 5 divisive question RV campers can’t agree on.

While there are plenty of situations where RVers will need a strong sense of humor, RVing is also one of the best ways to travel. One of the best ways to laugh on the road is to pick out a funny name for your RV.

I can’t even comment, I’m still dying over these! So many good ones but I think the ‘no clotheslines allowed’ one might have been my favorite and most relatable one, lol. But then also, ‘full-hookups vs boondocking’ and ‘when you tell them you drove the RV to Mexico’ 🙂

Thanks so much! I had so much fun making them.

These are all so funny!!! I do not think I could pick just one!! It might be Google maps but I love them all!!

Thank you! The Google Maps one is definitely true sometimes.
