It sounds ironic considering the fact that humans have spent more than a thousand years trying to get out of the elements. What could be better than a day spent exploring the wilderness, an evening of wonderful chat (and funny camping jokes) around a campfire with loved ones, and a night spent sleeping in a tent beneath a pitch-black sky full of dazzling stars?
Whether you are a first-time camper or an old timer, this list of puns has everything you need to make people laugh around you. Let’s now start with these jokes that will have you laughing all night around the campfire.

James and Robert, two brothers, go camping in the woods. When they get to their destination, they cook dinner and drink a few beers before realising they forgot one of their two one-person tents back home. They decide to play rock/paper/scissors to determine who will sleep in the tent and who will sleep outside. James wins, so they both slip into their sleeping bags and go to sleep, with James in the tent.
A few hours later, a gang of blackout drunk campers stumbles into their camp and decides to be jerks by beating the heck out of Robert. Before the drunks rush off laughing into the night, Robert fights to defend himself groggily. Robert staggers over to James in the tent and yells at him to wake up, describing what has happened. James, a renowned heavy sleeper, has heard nothing of this and furiously urges Robert to go back to bed.
Robert, who is still sleepy and dizzy, believes he may have dreamed it and that he drank more than he thought. He slips back into his sleeping bag and promptly falls asleep. About 30 minutes later, the group returns and discovers that their victim hasn’t left the campsite, so they continue to lay into Robert with punches and kicks before fleeing cackling into the night.

Robert is adamant about his experience, but James refuses to listen, and they soon fall asleep again, having switched seats.
