Special Offer: Deluxe Family Camping
If you love the outdoors, Deluxe Camping Trips get you deeper into nature. With no check-in and no elevators, it's the ultimate outdoor experience. You can relax while your leaders, a Camp Chef and a Camp Assistant handle the tents and camp chores, and perform culinary magic with everything from broiled salmon and roast chicken to fresh salads and rich desserts. Imagine rolling into a campsite to find your spacious dome tents set up, your luggage inside and your plush sleeping bag laid out on an extra-thick sleeping pad. And if you want three to a “room,” our dome tents are plenty big enough. Adjacent “rooms?” But of course! This is camping in trademark Backroads style.
