Martie's Backyard Camping Party on MyRecipes.com

So, are you looking for a fun, affordable, and EASY-PEASY party idea? My backyard camping party is it! It's a great entertaining solution for almost any occasion. I've had friends host this for adults, kids, neighborhood get-togethers... almost anything. We have put together everything for you: a sing-a-long playlist, a super easy menu, and the best thing about a campout... the s'mores. We built a s'mores bar with plenty of options for everyone!
