“I’d Rather Be in the Woods” Build Your Backyard Setup

You can’t always be in the woods, but your backyard doesn’t have to know that! If you’d rather be out tracking wild game than trimming the hedge, why not create a more exciting backyard that brings the wild wilderness thrill to your comfortable suburban home?

In this article, we’re going to give you all the tips to set your backyard up for thrills, spills, and some themed hunting cornhole, so you can enjoy that adrenaline thrill and feel of the deer camp any time you step out the back door with your morning coffee or post-work beer.

Turn Your Backyard Into a Hunter’s Hangout

Is your backyard feeling… a little too suburban? A touch too manicured? Don’t worry. With just a few tweaks, we can create that modern outdoorsman vibe you’re pitching for! 

Cute tinkling fountain? Love it. But not in your backyard setup. Think fire pits over fountains. You’re going for the feeling of rough, outdoor, “get back to nature” life, not meditation on Astroturf.

Speaking of which, if the lawn’s looking like something from a grass seed commercial, switch it up for a more natural landscape, gravel, or woodchips. Rough and tough! Also, total bonus, if your lawn doesn’t require constant tending, you’ll have more time for fun and games, such as hunting cornhole.

That plastic patio set? Cute, but gift it to a neighbor. We’re all about the Adirondack chairs here. And while we’re at it, switch up that urban parasol for a camo umbrella, some antler decor, and maybe a bird feeding station to encourage the wildlife in. 

If you can get away with it without infuriating your other half, add rustic DIY signage (the boys will love “Camp [last name]”), customized signs for your family – a great gift for hunters with a home life!

Your space is ready, it’s time to play!

Hunting Cornhole Games That Feel Like They Belong at Deer Camp

At Cornhole Worldwide, we create custom cornhole boards for fans all over the world, and we’ve got a fantastic range of hunting cornhole boards—the perfect gift for hunters! 

Check out our Hunting Cornhole Games range featuring camo designs, wildlife scenes, antlers, and custom text to make it truly yours. 

Of course, our hunting cornhole boards are made from the highest-quality materials for durability and are designed to be outdoor-ready. These are truly high-end gifts for hunters, made to last through the seasons outdoors and ready for hours of cornhole play!

Our top-quality hunting cornhole games are ideal for game night after a tiring day in the woods (or a weekend afternoon watching hunting shows, we know how it is.)

Build the Ultimate Outdoor Cooking Station

You know what makes your hunting cornhole setup even better? Outdoor food. Invest in smokers, grills, and outdoor pizza ovens with a cool, rustic twist, and make it camp-worthy; think cast-iron cookware, cooler table, and meat thermometers to really perfect those steaks. 

Doesn’t food taste awesome outdoors?  Even better, your camping-style cook-up gets the benefit of home WiFi, so you can get the tunes on while you pretend to be off-grid. Invite everyone over so they can enjoy your new space and maybe listen to some tales about hunting and fishing (it doesn’t matter that they’ve heard them before, it’s part of the lore!)

Everyday is a Party with Lawn Games 

Place that awesome customized hunting cornhole game center stage, then add extra options for your rugged lawn game mash-up. We’re thinking axe-throwing boards here. But maybe, y’know, faux ones, to avoid any unwanted trips to the local accident & emergency.

Make your own fun games too, like a horseshoe toss game around a stake in the ground. And check out our range of gifts for hunters for more inspo! (We don’t believe there’s a human alive that can resist Giant Jenga, for example.)

Go Custom – Make It Personal

With the effort you’re making to style this dream backyard, go the next step and organize a customized hunting cornhle board with your name, camp slogan, or favorite hunting quote. Some of our fave ideas are: “Bag It & Brag It,” “Bucks and Bags,” “Elk Me Out Here!”

Short of inspo? Don’t worry, because the Cornhole Worldwide team is ready to bring your design to life with custom bags, accessories, wraps, and bespoke designs that bring your camp dreams to life. Just tell us what you want and we’ll produce the visuals, with the highest-quality results for a truly top-notch cornhole board!

Don’t Forget the Good Stuff: Lighting, Sound, and Drinks

Evening vibes are perfect for that hunt camp feel. Banish fairy lights and go for industrial or rustic-style solar lanterns or string lights, and covertly hide some Bluetooth speakers in the trees. We’re thinking George Strait.

Don’t forget your “deer camp approved” drink stations dotted around the space—no camp is complete without an upturned whiskey barrel holding some solid tumblers, or a ready and filled barrel cooler. 

You could also set up a projector screen, if you’re feeling fancy, for outdoor backyard movie nights. If you end up watching hunting reels, we understand.

Make It Family-Friendly (Or Not)

Happy to let the kids enjoy your new hideout? It’s easy to make your camp family-friendly… if you want! Hunting cornhole games are ideal for family fun, and you can easily create a cozy seating area for storytelling and fishing tales. Anything to get the kids off the screens and outdoors, right?

Backyard Zen & Blaze Orange Vibes

An upgraded backyard can be a year-round wilderness escape if you design it just right. It’s also a ton of fun, and a creative project that can be as small or extensive as you (and the family) wish! Whatever your project aspirations, don’t forget to make some games central to your backyard base yard – shop hunting cornhole games today!

The only thing missing? Mosquitoes—and honestly, let’s keep it that way!
