Outdoor Games to Play at Your RV Resort

Outdoor games are one of the best parts of RV living. When you're parked at a resort with wide open green spaces and sunny weather, it’s the perfect setup to step outside, socialize, and break a little sweat. Whether you're traveling solo, with family, or with friends, games can turn a regular day into one everyone will remember. Playing outside adds energy to your day and creates fun moments that don’t feel planned or forced.

Games also help people connect. Striking up a match of pickleball or teaming up for a scavenger hunt can lead to conversations and friendships you didn’t expect. And with all the space and amenities most RV resorts offer, you’ve already got everything you need to get the fun started. It’s less about being ultra-competitive and more about having a good time and making the most of where you are.

Oak Alley RV Resort in Webster, Florida, makes it easy to enjoy outdoor activities with its large selection of courts, open areas, and luxury amenities. With plenty of space, free high-speed internet, and a strong sense of community, it’s a great home base for fun in the sun.

Popular Group Games

When it comes to group games, having the right options on-site makes all the difference. The ones below are some of the easiest to join and give folks a chance to mix, mingle, and have fun without needing a lot of gear or setup. These games are perfect for groups that are ready to enjoy a good challenge together without overcomplicating things.

1. Pickleball

This game is fast-paced, easy to learn, and fun for all ages. Think of it like a mix of tennis, ping pong, and badminton. Players use paddles to hit a ball over a net in a way that feels more forgiving than tennis but still keeps you moving. Pickleball is popular at RV resorts for good reason — the games are quick, and you don’t need to be an expert to enjoy it. Whether you’re ready for some light cardio or want to sharpen your skills, a few rounds of pickleball can easily become the highlight of your day. With 12 tournament-level courts at Oak Alley and a pickleball director offering classes, you'll get the chance to improve your game while having fun.

2. Volleyball

A game of volleyball is a go-to when your group wants shared laughs and a bit of competitive energy. You can set up for 2-on-2, 3-on-3, or more, depending on how many people are around. Most RV resorts with sand or grass courts make jumping into a match super simple. If you're traveling with friends or have just met other campers nearby, this is a great way to bond fast. At Oak Alley, regulation courts offer the perfect setting to serve, spike, and celebrate victories together.

3. Bocce Ball

This one’s more laid-back but still brings out the competitor in everyone. Bocce is a classic lawn game that works for all skill levels. You toss smaller balls, aiming to get yours as close as possible to the “pallino,” the small target ball. It’s great for chatting, sipping a drink, and passing time with a little strategy on the side. You only need an open, flat space to start a game. Oak Alley has built-in bocce courts, giving you a smooth, level surface to play any time of day.

Family-Friendly Activities

Outdoor fun isn’t just for the grown-ups. Families can enjoy light-hearted activities that bring everyone together.

Cornhole is a classic choice that gets everyone involved. The rules are simple: two teams take turns tossing bean bags onto a raised platform with a hole in the far end. Points are scored when a bag lands on the platform or goes through the hole. It's great for all ages since it requires minimal equipment and can be played at a relaxed pace. You’ll often see families lined up enjoying this game in shaded areas or near their parked RVs.

For a bit more adventure, try organizing a scavenger hunt. With plenty of space around the resort, kids and adults can search for natural treasures like unique stones, feathers, or a certain type of leaf. Add a twist by including local landmarks on your list to explore the area more fully. Scavenger hunts can be as challenging or simple as you want, making them perfect for mixed-age groups.

Giant Jenga takes a familiar indoor game and sizes it up for the outdoors. Using oversized wooden blocks, players take turns removing one block at a time from the tower and placing it on top. The aim is to keep the stack from toppling. It tests steady hands and a bit of strategy in a fun way, often leading to laughter as the tower wobbles. It’s a fun pick for kids and adults alike, especially when played in an open area with some good tunes playing nearby.

Solo or Small Group Games

Not every day calls for a big gathering. If you're traveling alone or hanging with a small group, there are still plenty of games you can enjoy right at the resort.

Shuffleboard is a relaxing but strategic game that works well on sunny afternoons. Using cues to slide weighted discs down a long court, players aim for marked sections to rack up points. Oak Alley features dedicated shuffleboard courts that are always ready to go, giving you a great spot to unwind and play at your own pace.

Horseshoes is another easy, no-frills option that works well for pairs or small teams. All you need is a designated sandy patch or open dirt area and a pair of horseshoes. The goal is simple: get the horseshoe around the stake, or at least land it close. It's a quiet game but adds just enough challenge to keep things interesting.

Frisbee golf offers a fresh way to move around the resort. You can create your own course using natural markers—trees, shrubs, or benches—as your “holes.” Compete for accuracy or just enjoy tossing the disc as you wander. It’s low-pressure, and as long as you pack a few discs, it can be enjoyed nearly anywhere with space.

Preparing for Outdoor Games

Having a bit of gear and know-how can make your games go smoothly.

First up, bring the right equipment. For activities like bocce ball or cornhole, having your own set means you’re ready to play anytime. If you're trying frisbee golf or pickleball, don't forget your discs or paddles. A portable speaker for some music can also set the mood nicely.

Comfort is key to enjoying your day outdoors, especially in Florida’s sun. Wear breathable clothing and a hat to keep cool. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, using a cooler to keep it refreshingly cold. Sunscreen is your best friend here, protecting you from sunburn as you play. A picnic blanket or folding chairs are great for resting in between matches.

Clean-up is a breeze if you keep it simple. A small bag for any trash and a cloth for wiping down equipment can help maintain a tidy space. It makes resetting for the next game quicker and keeps your playing area pleasant for all.

Let the Games Make the Memories

Engaging in outdoor games turns regular days into adventures full of laughter and camaraderie. These moments don’t just fill your time, they help you connect deeply with those around you. Whether engaging in a friendly volleyball match or strategizing your next move in bocce ball, these activities offer more than just entertainment. They introduce you to new experiences, invite laughter, and often spark lasting friendships.

As you make your way through these games and activities, remember it’s all about the joy of the moment. Cherish the connections you make, the skills you learn, and the stories you'll have to tell. After all, these shared experiences are what enrich any travel journey. Step outside, start up a game, and watch as something simple becomes something unforgettable.
